  • We all know that neutron stars are pretty extreme stellar phenomena, but what would happen if two of them ever collided? Welcome to the strange world of the kilonova. Let’s find out more.
    Kilonovas get their names from the fact that they are 1000 times brighter than a nova. This does mean that they are about 1 tenth to 1 hundredth the brightness of a supernova, and because of how they form they are incredibly interesting indeed.

    The thought of an object (especially an object tens of kilometres wide) completing a orbit 1000 time in a single second is awesome in the true sense of the word. I actually paused the video to think about that...such phenomenal speeds. This is why I enjoy the subject of space and why I enjoy this channel so much. Much love for your videos 👍🏼.

      It definitely would have an impact for sure. Multiple Star systems would sweep or kick out planets, and then if still on a stable one, life would have to to deal with multiple solar hiccups and lifespans. Improbable, not impossible... Would depend on their size and distance from each other I would think.

      A few decades ago, before exoplanets were found, it was suggested that binary systems might not be able to form planets because stable orbits might not exist. This is now known to be false, although planets around binary systems might still be quite rare and Goldilocks planets might be rarer still.?

    It's quite amazing to think about all these processes, everything around us, light, stars, planets, gravity, quantum mechanics, it's just there, happening, regardless of any observer, regardless of any conscious minds to understand it or eyes to perceive its shapes and forms. In reality, without an observer, in the non-existant perspective of, say a planet, or a proton, everything is happening in darkness. It just "is". When we are all gone, everything keeps happening without us and "it" doesn't care. The fact that we are here, that we have come to this point in time where we are able to even begin to understand how things work and explain it, is absolutely crazy.

      probably not. GW amplitude is linear with distance, and since the 1st LIGO detection was 10^-19 m at 1B ly, you can scale that to 1 AU, and you get about 6 microns. However, the energy passing through you in that tenth of a second is 3 solar masses over 4 pi 1AU^2, which is equal to 500 billion megatons of TNT per square meter (10 Tsar bombs per square millimeter). Spacetime is really stiff.

    a gravitational wave changes the length of both arms of the interferometer. They stretch in on direction and squish in the perpendicular direction (alternating, ofc). It's quadrupole polarization, so if the wave is aligned + and so is the detector, great signal. If the wave is X and detector is +: no signal at all.

    In the scenario of two orbiting big solar masses, I'm wondering about the variables when one of them goes nova to become a neutron star:
    1. what effect does the force of the explosion leading to ejection of outer layers have on its orbiting partner star? Their gravity is strong enough to overcome that sudden force?
    2. How much mass % is lost by the ex Star?
    3. What effect does this have on their orbit paths/precession/barycenter since mass has be lost by the newly formed neuron star?

    • @matgeezer2094

      A star turning into a neutron star undergoes a supernova, you'd imagine the effect on its binary partner would be catastrophic, but the star carries on, no problems, but if was either a white dwarf or a neutron star, the sudden extra mass could force the other star to undergo a collapse to a black hole. As for planets - a planetary atmosphere would surely be hugely damaged , if it was orbiting either star. The orbits might change, but the planets aren't destroyed or ejected, mostly, from what I've read.

    • @chrisbaker2903
      @chrisbaker2903 Před rokem

      Sure! Mass is lost to the new neutron star and that with the pushing against it by the blast would cause it to assume a larger diameter orbit but then the neutron star starts collecting all the solar wind off the normal star and regaining mass, right up until it gains enough to produce fusion creating another blast called a nova and then it starts eating the solar wind again till it blows again and eventually the other star grows and grows till the solar wind is pretty much the outer shells of the "normal" giant star and then the neutron star gets enough mass to really blow up and destroys both stars leaving nothing behind and all the mass being blown out into the galaxy to make us and our planet etc.

      I think that because they decrease in size, the center of gravity is closer together. There could be a point that the mass of one star would try to pull the other star into itself, with the other star doing the same. As for the other question, it's much more likely that the Earth would be swallowed by the Sun as it becomes a Red Giant at the end of its life in 5 Billion years from now. Until then, unless a very massive object passes very close to the Solar System, all of the Planets orbit will be mostly stable.

    • @mikehawk5492

      I think they lose distance over time because they are emitting gravitational energy in the form of waves, this energy has to come from somewhere, so it is stealing tiny amounts of speed and momentum from the neutron stars converting them into gravitational waves. As the speed decreases so will the distance between the objects.

    In the video you mention binary stars, and how they may collapse into orbiting neutron stars. And that because these stars emit gravitational energy, they will lose energy and spiral closer until they eventually collide. But why does that happen only after the stars become neutron stars? The mass of the individual stars has not changed, in fact it has decreased due to the outer layers being blasted away when the neutron stars were formed. Why did the original pair of binary stars not emit gravitational energy and spiral towards each other and collide way before they even turned into neutron stars?

    Sorry, but neutron stars have enormous escape velocity, some half the speed of light! modern physics is in trouble.
    They might release massive amounts of energy if, if they collide, but exploding neutron stars is just not possible.
    The sun alone has escape velocity of 650 kilometres per second, and has no problem retaining itself, only releasing energy, ie solar wind through colliding magnetic filaments.
    Neutron star is not able to explode.
    If it could, you'd be talking, mere teaspoons of this stuff, weighing the weight of Mt Everest, flying through space at more than half the speed of light, it would not seed life in the universe, but destroy life.

    What if two black holes come close to eachother? they would refute eachothers gravity and the mass would expand/explode possibly eliminating eachother spreading across the universe in a "big bang".
    + As with the example in the video where the narrator says the neutron stars would increase in speed as they circle eachother I think another scenario is possible. As they increase in speed they will eliminate eachothers gravity in between eachother as well as on the opposite side of themself to eachother through the centrapetal force created by the cyclic speed basically throwing away their outside as they get torn apart on the inside.

    The video is wrong. A sheet doesn't create gravity. The sheet has to be moving for it to bend. Gravity: Imagine a sheet called space moving through a 4th dimension where the 4th dimension was called time. The fabric’s direction of travel is from a place we call the past to a place we call the future. The surface of the sheet is what we will call the present. This 4th dimension is not the same as our ordinary experience of time but is related to it. If you put a lead ball on the moving fabric the ball would resist the movement so as to cause the fabric to deform. The ball and the fabric pushing the ball would lag behind the rest of the fabric. According to our definitions, the ball could be said to be in the past. If another ball were put on the fabric it would deform the fabric too. If the two balls were close together they would approach. The balls would seem to be attracted to one another but in reality, the same place is moving toward both of them. When you fall the Earth is moving toward you. .
