Neutron stars are created when a massive star runs out of fuel and collapses. As the star collapses, the density becomes so immense that protons and electrons are squeezed tightly together to form neutrons. The end result is a star only 20 km across but weighing 1 1/2 times more than our sun and made up mostly of neutrons.

  • Thank god that we guys are lucky to have good voice and features. Never estimate a person based on their voice/features. Infact the more the disabled, the more the intellect. Consider for example: Stephen Hawking. He has taken life as a challenge and his conclusions about the universe are beyond imagination, but a reality!. So, instead of calling a person "Disabled", call them "Differently abled"!. Everyone`s special on earth!.

  • neutron starts are just a load of bullshit. stars doesn't collapse. they are not soap. they do expand but they don't explode. when they reach a certain size they produce a mass ejection to create a conductive pathways. when star produce jets it depend on having this conductive gaseous medium for the jests to form circles as it grow into a quasars and eventually become a galaxy. the EM force is the only force that is strong enough to shape the universe. gravity is a very weak force compared.

  • this guy sounds sooo boring and vague , i kinda wish i could hurl him at a neutron star, ,

  • ok, so let put a stator around one and see whats what.

  • @ananth85 I hate it when people try to sound smart and say things that they either dont know about or dont know at all. There is NO DIRECT CONNECTION to how disabled someone is to how intelligent they are. What is correct, is that the more disabled they are, the less the brain has to focus on. Therefore, if my arms and legs get paralized, my brain no longer has to focus on the function of my limbs anymore, not that Im automatically going to become a genius. Look at people with ADL for example!
