Neutron Stars are some of the strangest things in the Universe. Not quite massive enough to become black holes they
are basically atoms as big as mountains with properties so extreme it's mind-blowing. And if you get too close to a neutron star you are in big trouble…

They're all predictions by our logic with our limited data about this reality.

That makes the entire algorithm a pseudo for a person like me. From this perspective, i may enjoy while watching some primitive organic creature, which is also exactly what i am, talking without any knowledge about anything.

So theoretically, somewhere in the vastness of the universe, a neutron star has cooled meaning somewhere there is a planet sized ball of solid iron and silicon atoms meaning that if life was to form there then it would be an iron-silicon based lifeform powered by electrons meaning that somewhere out there in the universe Transformers exist.

@ryan_chapelle9489 9 лет назад

hey, mayby in a parallel universe.

@mattdombrowski8435 9 лет назад

the surface of a neutron star can never cool to something livable. the intense gravity gradient means that 1) the 10 cm atmosphere is always plasma due to pressure heating, 2) the atmosphere is 10 cm which means life cannot move up or down without experiencing extreme pressure changes (one milometer is equivalent to moving a kilometer up or down in earth's atmosphere), and 3) silicon based life is less stable than carbon based life which means it would need temperatures around as cold as liquid nitrogen

Correction Iron can in fact fuse it just uses energy instead of creating it. This is why heavier elements exist at all. In the dying days of a star it will fuse Iron (losing energy) occasionally which creates heavier than iron elements.

@Loonistrator 4 года назад

It's worth mentioning their staggering magnetic fields. The strongest magnets we've built are around 500,000 to 1 million times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field. A neutron star has a magnetic field strength in the order of 100 million ~ 1 quadrillion times that of Earth's. The strongest ones, Magnetars, one would not be able to get within 1000 km of, as the effect of the magnetic field on electrons would be so extreme, biological chemistry would completely break down. Physics is fascinating on the extreme edges.

@maradupras7278 4 года назад

The neutron stars' magnetic field can reach 1000000 teslas. That's a lot. (For comparison, an MRI machine measures about 3 teslas. The strongest magnet we've built is 1200--almost 1/1000 of a neutron star's field!)

@intoxigamer3617 4 года назад

Not quite. They're actually stronger than that. A magnetar at the distance of our closest star (Proxima Centuri, 4.2LY) would STILL end all life on Earth. As close to use as our own sun (150 million miles), it would rip apart every atom in your body and render you down to your constituent subatomic particles. It would basically turn you in to quark soup.

there is a reason to why those "space things" have those names. only on our galaxy there is, like, 100-300 bilion stars. add blackholes, planets, clouds of gas etc and quickly you run out of conventional names in every languare humans have created so far.

@XZhyperZX 7 лет назад

Drago Hammer it would help if we didn't prioritise names of gods and Shakespeare characters for them, add conventional names like Jeff or save and you will be able to name loses more, granted the black hole name Jeff and a galaxy named Dave would be odd but it's better than the one I mentioned

@DylanBegazo 2 года назад

Here’s a question: How can a advanced civilization cool down a neutron star and reduce its gravity by removing mass from it and slow its spin down to be almost tidally locked? I think it would be cool to “tame” a neutron star by cooling it down and slowing it down and reducing its gravity. But how would one go about doing that? That’s my question to you.

@theoboueid6450 Год назад

Umm...

@igameidoresearchtoo6511 Год назад

Dude..in order to have one have a gravity similar to earth's it would need to be the size of roughly a 10 cm diameter sphere. and cooling one is pretty much as impossible as travelling at the speed of light. you would need to teleport enormous amounts of matter (probably 99.9999999% of all its mass) away from it to succeed.

wait.. 5mm irregularities..? That's a whole lot of neutrons and protons sticking out, how come the insane gravity doesn't make it a perfect sphere?

@PINGPONGROCKSBRAH 8 лет назад

+Peter Timowreef I think it's because of the incredibly powerful magnetic fields. Here's an excerpt from a post I read: A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an especially strong magnetic field. Let me give you an idea of the scale we're talking about, though. The strength of the Earth's magnetic field at the pole is about 0.5 Gauss. The strength of a refrigerator magnet at its surface is about 100 Gauss. The strength of the magnetic field in an MRI machine is about 10,000 Gauss. This barely scratches the surface, though: the magnetic field at the surface of a typical young neutron star is about a *trillion* Gauss, which is so strong that the very atoms are stretched out into cylinders along the field lines. Magnetars have fields about a thousand times stronger yet, and at that level really weird things happen microscopically (photons can split in two, for example). The effect they have is that the field "wants" to come together (because this would reduce its energy), and the crust of even a neutron star can't resist this force forever. As the field pulls, then, the crust breaks sometimes, giving the great-granddaddy of all earthquakes. This produces a burst of gamma rays, and the brightest of the bursts are so powerful that they can produce aurorae on Earth from 25,000 light years away! Not something you'd like to get near... How they are created is a mystery. In fact, in general, we don't have good knowledge of how magnetic fields are produced in most objects. In fact, a joke attributed to Sir Martin Rees (an eminent astronomer in England) is that if you sleep though an astronomy talk and want to ask an intelligent-sounding question, just say "what about magnetic fields?" Neutron stars are produced when a massive star dies and its core collapses, and the best current guess is that something about the collapse and turbulence produces an extra-strong magnetic field. The honest answer, though, is that we really don't know for sure. More here: www.astro.umd.edu/~miller/teaching/questions/neutron.html

@dreamyrhodes 9 лет назад

Jorick Lania Black holes appear when the neutron star becomes so dense that not even the neutrons stay in a stable form but collapse into a single point with an infinite density. Around this object exists a sphere where the escaping speed becomes greater than the speed of light, that means no light can emit or reflect from the star and it becomes totally black. That sphere is called the event horizon. More strange, even time stops at this horizon, that means light rays entering an orbit on this sphere slow down to zero and stay there forever.

The proper name of the element is "krzem". Here's a reference: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/krzem And before you ask me: yes, we're weird. So you are.
