  • When stars many times larger than our sun go supernova, their cores do not always collapse to form black holes. Some are not large enough to collapse to form a singularity, but instead shrink to an object the size of a city - a neutron star, which generates the strongest magnetic field in the universe. In this video, we will learn about their history, their variations, and the science behind it.

    I use to be more fascinated with black holes. Ever since I was little.
    But lately I’ve been much more fascinated with neutron stars.
    Ever since learning about nuclear pasta (possibly containing strange matter) and learning that the heavy elements are most likely created by a kilonova (two neutron stars colliding).
    If these are true, neutron stars are by far the most important stellar object ever (in creating life, and if strange matter exists, destroying it).
    So fascinating.

    Great video! Apparently, NASA just mapped the surface of a neutron star, and found that the "hotspots" where radiation was emitted were in strange places. You mentioned that neutron stars all emit radiation from their poles, but one pulsar was found to have multiple hotspots in the southern hemisphere, and none in the northern hemisphere, making it one of the most unique pulsars out there.

    • @santosl.harper4471
      @santosl.harper4471 Před 4 lety +13

      Michael Jordan Yeah calling it unique is a mistake at this point. It's unique in that its the only observed in such a way but going beyond that and calling it unique among stellar objects is not an assertion that we can make just yet. We just don't know enough to say that.

      Tom Easton neutron stars are one of the strangest objects in the universe if it were any denser it would become a black hole so what we are looking at is like a black hole but still a star and we can actually get a chunk of it
      my theory is that there’s a small black hole in the center of the neutron star and the black hole can’t absorb the rest of the neutron star and when an object gets close the mass goes to the neutron star not the black hole so when the neoutron is at its final stage the black hole will absorb the neutron star and become a full black hole ( this is basically the quasi star which is hypothetical)

    • @TheGreatTomdini
      @TheGreatTomdini Před 4 lety +4

      @@ryandelgo384 If a black hole were at the center of a neutron star, there would be nothing to stop it from feasting on the dense nuclear material around it. It would tear the neutron star apart and simply become a larger black hole and start doing its black hole thing. Neutron stars can become black holes by accreting enough mass, you're correct about that! It's possible the neutrons break down into a quark-gluon plasma at the center of the neutron star (neutrons are made of quarks). The conditions required to maintain a stable quark-gluon plasma are unthinkable.

    At 2:26 it's not only "bouncing off" the core, essentially the matter falling in gets so compressed and heated up it reaches the next threshold (where it previously failed which caused the fusion to cease) in which it produces the heavier elements by runaway fusion.

    • @starcitizen890j5
      @starcitizen890j5 Před 2 lety +2

      Yes that got me too. The way he says it suggests that gravity on earth is dependent on the falling objects mass. NASA have a good video of a hammer and feather falling to earth in a vacuum chamber at exactly the same speed. In fact I am fairly sure I have also see a NASA video of astronauts doing the same thing on the surface of the moon too.
      So a tea spoon of neutron star matter assuming it’s not a large proportion of the earths mass would only accelerate at roughly 9.81ms^2. Of course if it was say 1% of the earths mass then you would need to increase the acceleration by 1% because the earth would actually fall upward to the spoon at 1% of 9.81ms^2.
      On the surface of a neutron star the gravity is going to be many millions of times more that 9.81ms^2. So yes dropping a teaspoon on the surface of neutron star would indeed travel much much faster than here on earth.

    (6:22) This shoulder-height drop speed measurement breaks with gravitational acceleration on Earth. A teaspoon size of neutron star matter (assuming one could keep it in such a state without the crushing gravity of the neutron star) dropped from shoulder height should have the same acceleration as a rubber ball dropped from the same height. The only difference between the two objects would be atmospheric friction.
