  • You don't want that wandering into your solar system

  • And yet, to clime a bump one centimeter high on a neutron star would be the equivalent to climbing Mount Everest here on Earth; it'd take the same amount of effort. That is, if you could avoid being crushed into molecular paste. In another documentary, they said that every centimeter cubed of neutron star matter weighs about 100 million tons.

  • @AnimeFanatic5602 Yeah i read that the highest mountains on a neutron star would be about 2 millimetres

  • What this doesn't show is that the gravity of a neutron star is so strong that it would be perfectly spherical; like a ball of metal. Even the smallest of imperfections would be crushed flat.
