Yes, the density of the matter is high but has anyone thought about the density of the magnetic field? At 10^14 Gauss a teaspoon of the magnetic field has an energy comparable to all the electricity used on earth for two years. If we use Einsteins formula for calculating that to mass it will be about 2000 kg.
Great video! I like how you used sound with your graphics; I haven't seen many creators make clips as immersive as yours. But I do think that the quick animations would benefit from a 60 fps upload. What you presented definitely gets the point across, but at 30 fps many animations felt jagged to me. Just some observations, I hope the feedback helps!
I think it would take a whole team of CGI creation specialists to produce such an animation. Some of the animations from the video were produced by NASA over months and even years after the whole complex of pre-simulation process.
@RT-qd8yl What @maxstrelets263 said, it technically wouldn't be upscaling. Some AI could probably interpolate the other frames, but that sounds expensive. Most modern graphic libraries should provide things like this in 60 fps though, even if it requires a more expensive license. My point was mainly that 60 fps graphics are much more digestible for people who don't understand the topic already. It feels way more coherent at those higher speeds
Neutron stars are the craziest objects in the universe to me. They are more bizarre and interesting than black holes even. Probably because they are researched (seemingly) and talked about a lot less.
Magnetars are where it's at though. If a magnetar were where the moon is, you would barely be able to make out the dot blazing such bright light, but would wipe every credit card on the planet. Closer would polarize all of the atoms in your body which is what am FMRI does. Closer still would break most chemical bonds which keep you alive.
If you want something even more bizarre... the larger the black hole, the LESS DENSE the material that makes the black hole. So Stellar black holes are like neutron stars, Sag A, its density is pretty high but reasonable, and a supermassive, would only be as dense as water.
Neutron stars… 100,000,000,000 tons in a spoonful… That’s not how chemistry works. It’s lunacy for a much better alternative. If you’re interested check out the electric universe.
Neutron stars can be classified as "compact objects"; in which the force of gravity dominates. Black holes, neutron stars and white dwarf stars fall in this classification.
You can of course never have a teaspoon of Neutron star material. Without the immense gravity of the whole star your teaspoon of material would instantly explode as the electron degeneracy pressure re-asserts itself.
The writing on this channel keeps getting better imo. Not sure where he gets his ideas from but I’m loving it. This has got to be one of the top sci-fi channels on UA-cam. I love the concept of a “neutron star.” I’d love to see the idea fleshed out in future episodes. The only issue I have is I think he went a little overboard with the density. 1 billion tons in a teaspoon sounds cool but it takes away from what is otherwise a very realistic idea. I think it should be toned down just a bit, maybe 10 tons for a teaspoon would be more believable. I’m pretty sure anything as dense as what is described would collapse into a black hole.
Please pardon me as I merely wish to be informative and not to offend, but this is a science video about actual things. Neutron stars are real. They were predicted long ago based on Einstein's equation and have since been observed. The weight of a billion tons for a sugar cube sized amount of material is based on neutrons without electrons nor empty space as atoms are. I truly hope that what I said here has been helpful. I wish all the best for you and those you love.
I’ve been watching videos like this for years. The creator did a great job in this video, but none of this info is new and hasn’t been covered before. Search “neutron star” and you’ll find plenty more just like this, along with the scientific calculations of the teaspoonful weighing a mountain. That’s a hard idea to wrap our puny human brains around, but that doesn’t make it false
@@gregg9725yeah I agree. There are a some inaccuracies thrown in here as well, but I understand that he’s probably also trying to keep it limited to a depth no further than the general audience he receives.
6:14 If we could figure out a way to study the inner working of a neutron star, we just might be able to figure out what a black hole singularity is made of?
What about black holes or quark stars? I know the density of supermassive black holes is potentially low if you include the entire volume contained within the event horizon but at the singularity the density is effectively infinite...
The first Sci fi book that I have read is Dragon Egg. Neutron stars hold a special place with me since. But after I've seen a periodic table that showed the sources of all the elements, the respect and awe for neutron stars has exploded.
Okay... But how is it that these massive distant bodies come to find eachother and collide in the vastness of the observed universe? Theres a lot of space... And yet they seem drawn to eachother from distances which seem impossible. What happens to the stuff in the space between them? Is there loads of planetary debris orbiting these massive neutron stars?
Man, neutron stars collide when they're in binary systems or close enough to attract each other gravitationally, eventually spiraling in due to energy loss from emitting gravitational waves. The vast space between them might contain some matter, but as they near, their intense gravity dominates, possibly capturing or disrupting nearby debris. This process is slow on human timescales but inevitable over cosmic time.
I meant. If you go outside and ask people in the street what they think about neutron stars or thermal nuclear fusion, not really a subject for a short 😊
We r here just to pass few insignificant years in terms of cosmic scale and then disappear but look @ the ego factors of 99% humanity.... It never dies
We are here to argue the points of view we have using our personal first hand accounts of life and utilizing the accumulated experience we acquire through the extent of our conscious state here in this human body, whatever this is…..Sadly the difference between our points of view causes pain and suffering too often.
At 6:41 you mentioned strange matter as consisting of equal numbers of top and bottom quarks, as well as strange quarks. What you meant to say was up and down quarks, not top and bottom quarks, which are flavors of third generation quarks which do not have an approximate isospin symmetry like the up and down quarks.
If we reason reason sensibly, neutron stars have magnetic fields due to electric currents from charged particles inside them, similar to electromagnets. Although they are filled with neutrons, the presence of protons and electrons contributes to these magnetic fields. The enormous strength of these fields is still a subject of research, and theories such as "flux freezing" offer a partial explanation.
There is some sort of friction that's rubbing the electrons off the neutron causing magnetism. Maybe it's super fast rotation is rubbing against the fabric of space/time?
They have nuetrons at the core, that's called neuclear sheets/pasta. Next layer is of protons followes by a cloud of electrons. Outter layers don't have enough pressure to crash electrons into protons creating neutrons. Hence the massive magnetic field.
Could a neutron star or a pulser be a faild black hole or maybe a black hole losing its density? Kinda like people aging. Sounds like the process is similar but with more density.
So, what do the soectral lines look like when one 9bserves neutron stars with a spectroscope? Ive never heard anyone discuss the spectrosopy of pulsars, magnetsrs, or neutron stars. If the neutrin is unstable and has a half-life, of 12 minutes or so, then why di we even see neutron stars at all. How can the neutron be radioactive in ine scenario, but not in anotger, these neitron stars? Explain that one.
It is quite simple. Neutron stars are observed using X-ray and gamma-ray telescopes. These telescopes detect the high-energy radiation emitted by neutron stars, revealing their properties and behaviors through the analysis of their spectra.
It's fun to think about neutron star as really a giant atom with a collosal nucleus. Would such a thing have a 'chemistry' defined by an electron cloud?
I have a question, is it the material of the star that actually weighs that much, or is it the gravitational pull of the star itself. That makes it weigh that much?
From what I am understanding here is that the time dilation between the particles in the neutron star and relatively empty space causes the gravity from the the difference in time trying to equalize itself. This may also happen on the atom scale but at barely noticeable gravity effect to us feeble humans. I really think gravity has something to do with non equal passage of time.
Speaking in real - you are highlighting a fascinating aspect of Einstein's general relativity, where gravity, influenced by mass warping spacetime, affects the passage of time. This phenomenon, known as gravitational time dilation, is most noticeable near massive objects like neutron stars. It does imply that at the atomic scale, or in regions with less significant gravitational fields, time dilation effects would be much subtler and harder to observe directly.
If an intelligent being with the ability to manipulate gravity fields came to earth, they could theoretically live entire lifetimes within 30 milliseconds. Humans can’t perceive time in lesser segments than this. So, beings could theoretically live on earth without us even knowing
Interesting factoid about neutron stars: The *_speed of sound_* inside a neutron star is approximately equal to c / (3^.5) - that is, the speed of light divided by the square root of 3.
You can use pulsars as a time base to measure the one way speed of light in both directions. It should be the same value, but nobody has ever actually done it. I want to write a white paper showing how.
Being this dense, what would these stars consist of. What is the heaviest element that we know of and how can it be compressed to such extreme density?
Atoms of the highest density are still filled with mainly empty space, at this level of density all that empty space is gone and you have a new form of matter entirely called nuclear pasta.
The habitable planets are just part of the cosmetics of the universe. Maybe Neutron, Magnetar, Black Holes plus similar, are the ones giving galaxies and the universe it's shape and distribution.
@10:56 you say that neutron stars can affect nearby bodies with their gravitationally reach, but then go on to explain their MAGNETIC, not gravitational, impacts that they have on these bodies. Not to mention the fact that the neutron stars' gravitational reach wouldn't be greater than the original star that they replace, but would actually be WEAKER than the original star because it has shed much of its mass in the supernova and since the gravity of a star is dependent only on its mass and isn't dependant at all on its density. This is how we confuse people.
Can anyone confirm whether or not the following ideas about neutron stars are true? These have fascinated me for years. 1) To an imaginary observer on the surface, the only sky visible would be confined to a hole overhead -- an illusion due to the intense gravity bending light from over the star's horizon, making it appear that the observer was at the bottom of narrow bowl. In other words, only light coming straight in from above could make it to the observer, and the horizon would appear to almost close up overhead. 2) If you were to somehow materialize on the surface, your atoms would almost instantaneously be spread out over a large area, disassociate in a flash, and become part of the star. Thanks!
I'll take one nuetron star, a cup of dark matter, one cup dark energy, one super massive black hole, add in some gravity waves, the c.m.b ,mix in some warped space- time and, lest we forget,a big bang and cosmic inflation. This horse manure passes for real thermo dynamics in astrophysics. Ain't it nice? Sorry if I've offended the anyone.
Psht, what kind of half-baked recipe is this? Any true cosmic chef will add a pinch of strange matter and leave it all sauteéd in a high dose of gamma radiation for no more (but certainly not less) than 15 minutes. Bon appetit!
Apparently, around 98% of the gold on Earth originates from the matter that's created during the relatively rare occurance of two neutron stars colliding with each other.
Gold and all elements heavier than iron are created during a supernova. After the supernova there will remain a neitron star or a black hole depending on the mass of the star, heavier stars become black holes. If two neutron stars collide it probably creates a black hole.
@@garrett6064 You need to recheck your sources and consider changing your "all elements heavier [you meant more massive] than iron are created during a supernova". As powerful as the great majority of supernovas are and though it's absolutely true that the origin of almost all the elements more massive than iron are made as a result, MOST aren't powerful enough to create gold and some other, rare, heavy elements (like uranium, etc.).
@@garrett6064 honestly it is a weird distinction but there is a category of elements called "heavy elements" but to compare one elements particle count to another or a group of you would label that in terms of mass. So by Science jargon they used it correct "heavy elements (like uranium, etc.)" you did not "Gold and all elements heavier than iron" Just trying to help your understanding, after all that is what Science is all about.
I have observed an anomaly in the behavior of stars. Contrary to popular belief, I do not believe that stars undergo explosions or supernovae. This is because neutron stars have planets orbiting them, and an explosion of such magnitude would clear the surrounding area for millions of miles. I propose that the recent solar wind is significantly stronger than usual, causing everything to move away from the star's core. As a result, the planets are now orbiting the newly formed neutron star.
Black holes get too much attention sometimes. I love Neutron Stars! Their magnetic energy potential is phenomenal--and to think some of them have planets in orbit!!! Whoa! Any "life" that may develop on a planet that encircles a Neutron star must be extremophiles!
Yea that is interesting. Scientists just took some cancers into space to see if any responses to negative gravity. Any life found in the vicinity of a neutron star might have irregularities.
if a neutron star falls into another star such as a red giant, you now have a Thorne-Zitkow object. The neutron star will survive the conditions inside the star, and the intense gravitation of the neutron star will ignite a zone of fusion around it, This thermonuclear fusion zone has been calculated to be around 40 meters deep.
The equations are actually not difficult to perform. It’s the relative density of degenerative matter packed into the defined space, that amount of mass is calculated to determine the weight on earth under standard gravity at the surface.
Never heard the collision between neutron stars called a kilonova, but I have a question: you say this is where some of the more precious (heavier) elements are created and that those elements are created by neurons bombarding atomic nuclei (R-process). But I was under the impression that neutron stars have shed all of their atomic matter, leaving behind only neurons. Is this not correct? Because, at first I thought, okay, he means that the neutrons shot out into space (the bullets, if you've seen Chernobyl) and THEN encountered other elements with which they interacted, but then you said that they interact with these elements AND THEN were ejected out into space, so there goes that theory.
But we cannot say a black hole is denser than a neutron star because we don't know what space matter is occupying inside the black hole. Is that correct?

Not to mention the fact that the neutron stars' gravitational reach wouldn't be greater than the original star that they replace, but would actually be WEAKER than the original star because it has shed much of its mass in the supernova and since the gravity of a star is dependent only on its mass and isn't dependant at all on its density.
This is how we confuse people.

They just can’t help themselves so have to add in explosion sound effects for a supernova.
It seems like they use too many crude AI videos, to the point where I wonder if the script is also made by AI.
Which mountain?
Can anyone confirm whether or not the following ideas about neutron stars are true? These have fascinated me for years.
1) To an imaginary observer on the surface, the only sky visible would be confined to a hole overhead -- an illusion due to the intense gravity bending light from over the star's horizon, making it appear that the observer was at the bottom of narrow bowl. In other words, only light coming straight in from above could make it to the observer, and the horizon would appear to almost close up overhead.
2) If you were to somehow materialize on the surface, your atoms would almost instantaneously be spread out over a large area, disassociate in a flash, and become part of the star.
Thanks!
I wonder what movie
I'll take one nuetron star, a cup of dark matter, one cup dark energy, one super massive black hole, add in some gravity waves, the c.m.b ,mix in some warped space- time and, lest we forget,a big bang and cosmic inflation. This horse manure passes for real thermo dynamics in astrophysics. Ain't it nice? Sorry if I've offended the anyone.
No intelligent people are offended, we are mostly amused by simplemindedness.
Ok then in my simple minded way I thank you and refer you to a great scientist Dr.Pierre Marie Robitaille. Nuff said.
Psht, what kind of half-baked recipe is this?
Any true cosmic chef will add a pinch of strange matter and leave it all sauteéd in a high dose of gamma radiation for no more (but certainly not less) than 15 minutes.
Bon appetit!
how about a sprinkling of God's will? :D
Nature works in a simple easy way. These theories represent the death of astrophysics.
Apparently, around 98% of the gold on Earth originates from the matter that's created during the relatively rare occurance of two neutron stars colliding with each other.
Gold and all elements heavier than iron are created during a supernova. After the supernova there will remain a neitron star or a black hole depending on the mass of the star, heavier stars become black holes. If two neutron stars collide it probably creates a black hole.
@@garrett6064 You need to recheck your sources and consider changing your "all elements heavier [you meant more massive] than iron are created during a supernova". As powerful as the great majority of supernovas are and though it's absolutely true that the origin of almost all the elements more massive than iron are made as a result, MOST aren't powerful enough to create gold and some other, rare, heavy elements (like uranium, etc.).
@lazurm love how you use the same non-technical jargon "heavier" two sentences after trying to correct mine. 🤣
@lazurm but on another note, you are correct that neutron star collision does initiate the r-process and my info is out of date.
@@garrett6064 honestly it is a weird distinction but there is a category of elements called "heavy elements" but to compare one elements particle count to another or a group of you would label that in terms of mass.
So by Science jargon they used it correct "heavy elements (like uranium, etc.)" you did not "Gold and all elements heavier than iron"
Just trying to help your understanding, after all that is what Science is all about.
I have observed an anomaly in the behavior of stars. Contrary to popular belief, I do not believe that stars undergo explosions or supernovae. This is because neutron stars have planets orbiting them, and an explosion of such magnitude would clear the surrounding area for millions of miles. I propose that the recent solar wind is significantly stronger than usual, causing everything to move away from the star's core. As a result, the planets are now orbiting the newly formed neutron star.
Black holes get too much attention sometimes. I love Neutron Stars! Their magnetic energy potential is phenomenal--and to think some of them have planets in orbit!!! Whoa! Any "life" that may develop on a planet that encircles a Neutron star must be extremophiles!
Yea that is interesting. Scientists just took some cancers into space to see if any responses to negative gravity. Any life found in the vicinity of a neutron star might have irregularities.
if a neutron star falls into another star such as a red giant, you now have a Thorne-Zitkow object. The neutron star will survive the conditions inside the star, and the intense gravitation of the neutron star will ignite a zone of fusion around it, This thermonuclear fusion zone has been calculated to be around 40 meters deep.
Wonder how they came up with 1 spoonful of starmatter weighs 1 billion tons.
Density if the matter was brought to EARTH.
The equations are actually not difficult to perform. It’s the relative density of degenerative matter packed into the defined space, that amount of mass is calculated to determine the weight on earth under standard gravity at the surface.
My neighbor is denser than a neutron star.
You mean your neighbour is heavier than a neutron star
@ her skull is denser than a neutron star. Haha.
@@The_Rodge so her 10 teeth might be heavier than a spoon of neutron star
Usually things happen for a reason so what reason for this?
No new information here. Showing of the size comparision is full inacurate. Besides that, it's a nice work.
Can you be more specific, please?
your spelling by comparison is inaccurate
Never heard the collision between neutron stars called a kilonova, but I have a question: you say this is where some of the more precious (heavier) elements are created and that those elements are created by neurons bombarding atomic nuclei (R-process).
But I was under the impression that neutron stars have shed all of their atomic matter, leaving behind only neurons. Is this not correct? Because, at first I thought, okay, he means that the neutrons shot out into space (the bullets, if you've seen Chernobyl) and THEN encountered other elements with which they interacted, but then you said that they interact with these elements AND THEN were ejected out into space, so there goes that theory.
A neutron can transform in to a proton,electron... thanks to beta decay.
But we cannot say a black hole is denser than a neutron star because we don't know what space matter is occupying inside the black hole. Is that correct?
It was great to vibrate in that way.
Mmmm
