Hint: it's the same person to say "we're surrounded by lots of particles"

You're welcome! I'm glad you like it :)

One of the most sublime things I've ever had the privilege of imagining. Truly incomprehensible forces. Probably safest never to witness them but God how amazing would it be to see this in action

But sometimes you'll get currents on the surface of the neutron stars if some charges manage to free themselves briefly. These create magnetic forces so strong that despite these unbelievable powers holding it together against the centripetal force, they'll still rip pieces off the surface

Imagine that! Imagine the forces you'd experience in a city that's spinning around its axis 1000 per second!

And yet, it stays together, because the forces keeping it together are so humongously strong that even such preposterous centrifugal forces can't rip it apart

Conservation of angular momentum means that neutron stars have to maintain the rotation of the original stars, which can be millions of kilometers big, inside a radius only the size of a small city. So they spin up to 1000 per second!

So if you get something that's *only* nucleus, it's going to be immensely heavy

If I'm not mistaken the usual fact that gets thrown around is that a teaspoon of a neutron star is heavier than the Mount Everest

But what doesn't often get mentioned is the enormous centrifugal forces!

Neutron stars are more or less just the nucleus of an atom, but the size of a moderate city. They're just neutrons packed exactly like you would have in a nucleus, but just ENORMOUS

As you probably know, atoms are mostly (>99%) empty space. The electron orbits are HUGE compared to the nucleus.

What this means is that the sheer pressure of the collapse forces the protons to absorb the electrons & become neutrons

Normally neutrons aren't stable on their own. After ~15 minutes they decay into an electron and a proton. But not in neutron stars, there's literally no space for that to happen!

As you may know, stars consist of plasma, a big soup that's so hot that electrons can't stay bound to the protons and instead they're zipping around independently

When a star explodes but is not heavy enough to form a black hole, they will sometimes form a neutron star.

But he has impeccable proof! Someone who already agreed with him made an AI agree with him!

He posts nothing but AI hype, so if it's a bit he is extremely dedicated

Other way to see it is that you can google Tel Aviv and see that's not how you write it in Hebrew

Also the Tel Aviv sign for some reason has two lines in Hebrew instead of one in Hebrew and one in Arabic like the sign above
