I chuckle, to myself of course, when I think... a teaspoon of neutron star weighs the same as our moon.
When I try to get my head around something like this I run into the same problem as when I try to imagine the distance when I read "X billion of light years away", the zeros would stretch from here to the moon? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I said previously...a planet's capacity to 'get the lead out'. I understand the entire process (implosion through explosion) takes mere seconds, ergo, Now you see me; Now you REALLY see me. 'get the lead out' My futile attempt at a little humor-- a star's end-point (from ball of iron to explosion-- I replaced iron with lead. To understand this fully you must think about a kind of "balance of forces." Now, the force of gravity is one of the oldest influences known to mankind. As I understand it, gravity emerged after, in laymen's terms, 'static electricity' joined the very simplest particles of matter; I'm guessing, perhaps wrongly, gravity may even emerge by simply clustering millions, billions, trillions of neutrinos... I choose trillions. Not even gravitation can crush a neutron star!!! I chuckle, to myself of course, when I think... a teaspoon of neutron star weighs the same as our moon. Alas, I'm more often wrong than right, just ask my wife; "Bob, repeat after me... I are a programmer." Bob |
