Atoms As Big As Mountains - Neutron Stars Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 вер 2014
- Neutron Stars are some of the strangest things in the Universe. Not quite massive enough to become black holes they
are basically atoms as big as mountains with properties so extreme it's mind-blowing. And if you get too close to a neutron star you are in big trouble…

Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell ey
2nd
So why does gas expand to fill vacuums except in space? Why doesn't gas collapse under it's own gravity here on Earth?
Why outer mass are catapultated ?
how can neutron stars be real if our eyes aren't real
-Incredibly dense and violent
-Layered like onions.
-Massive
Conclusion: Neutron stars are ogres.
John E technically, the stars are the ones layered like onions, while Neutron Stars are a clump of... iron.

@generic username instead of getting mad, how about you go back to watching your roblox songs
@@WAVtbl I...uhm...I think you read into my comment a bit too much. Correcting someone really doesn't mean that the one doing the correcting is angry. The video said in the beginning that protons and electrons are crushed together to produce neutrons. It also seems a bit odd for you to turn to insults (I'm guessing that roblox comment was one) but call me the angry one out of the two of us. Not familiar with the concept of hypocrisy, are you?

@Chris Russell what are you talking about!
Holy shit Chris fucking merked these people
@Chris Russell what ? No
Gravity is faster than light or the planets would lose orbit.
Correction Iron can in fact fuse it just uses energy instead of creating it. This is why heavier elements exist at all. In the dying days of a star it will fuse Iron (losing energy) occasionally which creates heavier than iron elements.
i'm here to make this comment but don't have to because of your fine work. thank you sir or madam and i hope you have a wonderful day.
Heavier elements are created from supernovae aswell
@Elenildo Barbosa
literally every element heavier than iron comes from supernova🤦🤦🤦
When stars burn out in die, they explode into this giant blaze and release insane amounts of energy, which also creates different elements.
Of course iron can fuse, isn't that what happens when two pieces of metal are welded together
@@yvonnevevo6788 No it is not
I love the lil reminders in the corners of all their videos, "its a lot more complex than this", "atoms don't look like this", "this image is wrong", they are constantly telling us "THIS IS REALLY NOT HOW IT IS THIS IS AN ANIMATION I AM BUT A SIMPLE ANIMATOR THIS IS JUST REALLY NOT HOW IT WORKS"
They say "atom core" not "atom". So you're only partly right, an atom doesn't look like this, a nucleus actually does
+alphadawg81 I just think the constant reminders are funny
I like how they do that too, because otherwise, people would be all over the comments nitpicking (which is understandable.)

@@JoelTehMole don't take my argument offensive but do you think the books or professors teaching you physics of stars are made experiments with starts? They're all predictions by our logic with our limited data about this reality. I mean, we had no electricity to use in our houses 100 years ago and now, are we going to categorise people as "genius" and "pseudo" with just a little bit more data?
+Atakan Özel bro, you think all the course content is pulled out of someone's ass but this shit (which is literally just made to entertain) is believable? Do you think these guys even have the time to gain a rudimentary knowledge of this kind of thing rather then just using the first shitty article they found of Google? (they probably didn't even use Google books lol)
@@JoelTehMole Believe me or not, as a low-IQ person i'm wasting all of my days on understanding matter/s and their mechanics and i know what you're trying to say. It is completely right. But this is not chancing some facts like this universe's rules or principles are made by some "ideas" from something. Whatever you call it; evolution, god, creator or maybe an egg who cares? That makes the entire algorithm a pseudo for a person like me. From this perspective, i may enjoy while watching some primitive organic creature, which is also exactly what i am, talking without any knowledge about anything. Because i know it doesn't really matter if it explains it right or wrong, matter is what it is.

lol... Wait
Let me guess, Shrek?
yours kinks scare me
It's worth mentioning their staggering magnetic fields. The strongest magnets we've built are around 500,000 to 1 million times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field. A neutron star has a magnetic field strength in the order of 100 million ~ 1 quadrillion times that of Earth's. The strongest ones, Magnetars, one would not be able to get within 1000 km of, as the effect of the magnetic field on electrons would be so extreme, biological chemistry would completely break down.
Physics is fascinating on the extreme edges.
The neutron stars' magnetic field can reach 1000000 teslas. That's a lot. (For comparison, an MRI machine measures about 3 teslas. The strongest magnet we've built is 1200--almost 1/1000 of a neutron star's field!)
So if you were, let’s say moon distance away from a neutron star a compass would point to it.
When you break the rules, interesting things happen.
This holds true for reality, as well.
Thanks for the info!!
Not quite. They're actually stronger than that. A magnetar at the distance of our closest star (Proxima Centuri, 4.2LY) would STILL end all life on Earth. As close to use as our own sun (150 million miles), it would rip apart every atom in your body and render you down to your constituent subatomic particles. It would basically turn you in to quark soup.

Atom: "Can I enter your magnetic field?"
Neutron star: "Get bent!"

Bend over.
Correct, but this video is wrong. Electro-magnetic force is exponentially stronger than any gravitational force.
Bent atom: okey
Things that keep me up at night:
- taxes
- problems
- the fact that 99.9%+ of atoms is just empty space
So basically everything is 9.99% nothing?
@@Pikachu_mmYes. Yes it is
So theoretically, somewhere in the vastness of the universe, a neutron star has cooled meaning somewhere there is a planet sized ball of solid iron and silicon atoms meaning that if life was to form there then it would be an iron-silicon based lifeform powered by electrons meaning that somewhere out there in the universe Transformers exist.
hey, mayby in a parallel universe.
the surface of a neutron star can never cool to something livable. the intense gravity gradient means that 1) the 10 cm atmosphere is always plasma due to pressure heating, 2) the atmosphere is 10 cm which means life cannot move up or down without experiencing extreme pressure changes (one milometer is equivalent to moving a kilometer up or down in earth's atmosphere), and 3) silicon based life is less stable than carbon based life which means it would need temperatures around as cold as liquid nitrogen
They would either be super flat, or as strong as Goku to evolve in that gravity. But life finds a way i guess.
There is a book about life on a neutron star. "Dragon's Egg" It's an awesome read if you are into hard sci-fi novels.

The entire concept of their existence is just baffling. It's almost as if they shouldn't exist; like a glitch in the universe... Especially the part about its core just proves that there is just so much about this universe we haven't figured out yet, or we might even never know for sure?

False.
It's not that iron can't fuse, but that fusing iron consumes energy instead of releasing it.
magicstix0r It's not necessarily false, just vague.
magicstix0r Yup. If iron couldn't fuse, there wouldn't be any elements heavier than iron. Such elements aren't made by normal stellar fusion processes, but usually in the immense energy released by supernovae.
false.
fusing iron consumes more energy than it is released in the fusion process.
+magicstix0r I think iron fuses into uranium, right?
It's not that Iron can't fuse.. It's that Iron can't fuse in a star, primarily based on what you said: that iron consumes more energy than releases when fusing.

This was a fantastic video, and delicious subject matter.
If you're looking for other concepts relating to space and the universe at large, I would have to be boring and suggest black holes. I say this because there's a large amount of misconceptions surrounding them, and many mysteries left unanswered. For something a bit more abstract, I'd love to see an explanation in your style of the mechanic of gravity and its function in space.
We love Kurzgesagt because we love life. Don't ever stop.

This was the first video form this channel which Blew my mind!
wait.. 5mm irregularities..? That's a whole lot of neutrons and protons sticking out, how come the insane gravity doesn't make it a perfect sphere?
+Peter Timowreef I think it's because of the incredibly powerful magnetic fields. Here's an excerpt from a post I read:
A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an especially strong
magnetic field. Let me give you an idea of the scale we're talking
about, though. The strength of the Earth's magnetic field at the
pole is about 0.5 Gauss. The strength of a refrigerator magnet at
its surface is about 100 Gauss. The strength of the magnetic field
in an MRI machine is about 10,000 Gauss. This barely scratches the
surface, though: the magnetic field at the surface of a typical
young neutron star is about a *trillion* Gauss, which is so strong
that the very atoms are stretched out into cylinders along the
field lines. Magnetars have fields about a thousand times stronger
yet, and at that level really weird things happen microscopically
(photons can split in two, for example).
The effect they have is that the field "wants" to come together
(because this would reduce its energy), and the crust of even a
neutron star can't resist this force forever. As the field pulls,
then, the crust breaks sometimes, giving the great-granddaddy of
all earthquakes. This produces a burst of gamma rays, and the
brightest of the bursts are so powerful that they can produce aurorae
on Earth from 25,000 light years away! Not something you'd like
to get near...
How they are created is a mystery. In fact, in general, we don't
have good knowledge of how magnetic fields are produced in most
objects. In fact, a joke attributed to Sir Martin Rees (an
eminent astronomer in England) is that if you sleep though an
astronomy talk and want to ask an intelligent-sounding question,
just say "what about magnetic fields?" Neutron stars are produced
when a massive star dies and its core collapses, and the best
current guess is that something about the collapse and turbulence
produces an extra-strong magnetic field. The honest answer, though,
is that we really don't know for sure.

+PINGPONGROCKSBRAH So if i manage to fight gravity and heat on that star with some magical trick, the magnetic field would rip-off the iron from my blood.

Kurzgesagt is a german word. It means: short explained. They use it like this: ''short explained: neutron stars are interesting''.

Ermiukas 2 lol
"We need a name for this neutron star!"
*SMASH*
DONE!
A nonsense name for a nonsense thing. Why not

I feel smart watching his vids
Will you feel horny watching his dick

Its not just one person making the videos.
It's their, like bruh, a team works behind these videos, not an individual...
Love this demo process.
Very interesting. Thanks
So, the lesson here children, is the only place in the universe weirder than the inside of a neutron star, is the youtube comment section... LOL. Google's final gift to society - proof that Einstein was right, stupidity really is the most common element...
True...
Kneedragon1962 "So, the lesson here children, is the only place in the universe weirder than the inside of a neutron star, is the youtube comment section..."
So fucking true oh my god
Kneedragon1962 Stupidity has a half-life of 41 years . . .
Kneedragon1962 You have no clue what you are talking about (neutron stars).
But then again, you were stupid enough to reply, so you have that going for you.
Im not sure if your reply was even an insult to me or not.
Blox117 Yeah, that's about what I was aiming for...
The ultimate fidget spinner
Want to see a perfect fidget spinner. Go to meatspin.com
Nathan stop promoting your 'fidget spinner' you have ruined my life
its the bayblade bender
no, ultimate ball spiner
wooooosh
these old videos look pretty simple and cool tbh
The difference between this video's animation style vs now, The improvement is absolutely massive
Ye! It used to be good, but now its SOOO good
It used to look like now if someone poured mayonnaise all over it
Then tried to clean it off but it didn’t work
This is just one of those channel that you *cannot* dislike. You just can't.
Could you make a video similar to this where you explain black holes?
I agree
:D
That would be great.
Jorick Lania Agreed
Jorick Lania Black holes appear when the neutron star becomes so dense that not even the neutrons stay in a stable form but collapse into a single point with an infinite density. Around this object exists a sphere where the escaping speed becomes greater than the speed of light, that means no light can emit or reflect from the star and it becomes totally black. That sphere is called the event horizon. More strange, even time stops at this horizon, that means light rays entering an orbit on this sphere slow down to zero and stay there forever.
SUPERB ..... KEEP IT UP !!!
Simples e fácil de entender!
Obrigado.
This channel is the animated Vsauce
+The Useless Duck this is more space stuff and generally informational. vsauce is informational and makes you think a lot but he goes off tangent a lot so we exactly dont know whats in each video until we watch them. They're both great in their own ways i guess.
Kurzgesagt I challenge you! If you can me understand general relativity and special relativity I will accept that you are the best science channel so far.By the way I'm 12 years old.
Challenge accepted. Might take a while until we make the video though.
***** Hi I was just wondering if you are still doing a vdeo about fusion like you said in a video few months ago,btw your channel is great,you should work with channels like CPG Gray and Minute physics that has the some style as you do.
Lol Rishab I started learning about general relativity when I was 12 too (I'm 14 now) Try Eugene Khutoryansky, his videos go very slowly and makes it really easy to understand. :)
Zoravur Singh I'm 13, and I have to admit, Kurzgesagt is the one of the best channel I've seen that can describe complicated science like a fun story. And their video/drawings is awesome. Just a pity that they have a small board, so they need a lot of time to make videos. And Eugene Khutoryansky is also one of the best science channels too, aiming at Quantum Thermodynamics, and general laws of Universe. But he's even more inactive.
Meh, if I could teach myself all of differential calculus in a week with Khan Academy, I'm sure a 12 year old, having a much more plastic brain, could teach himself both theories of relativity by reading some articles online.
Thank you for for spreading the word
Great vid
So if you have a friend who's insanely dense and weird, just call 'em *Neutron Star*
Wannabe neutron star
Or maybe fatass?😂😂😂
And is a ballrenyny
Dense but not slow
Ok, I shall now dub myself *Neutron Star*
I've been watching your vids for a while now but still don't know how to pronounce your channel name lol.
or just in a nutshell
But there is a vid which explains how to pronounce their name. You clearly have not watched their vids for a while
koohtsgezahkt, pronounce the g as in great
kurtz means "short"
sagen means "to say", and gesagt means "said"
So kurtzgesagt means "in short" or "in a nutshell"
Koortsgezaagt
I know right? But these really are awesome videos. Well done kurgs...err...yeah. Well done.
Imagine stubbing your toe on a small piece of a neutron star.
Rip
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
No thank youuuuuuuuuuu!
You would literally have every atom in you’re body pulled out as fast as the speed of light
o God
NO NO NO NO I DON'T WANT ANY OF THAT NO THANK YOU
This neutron star sounds a lovely holiday destination 😄
So you're telling *me*, that if a small meteorite from a neutron star were to hit Earth, it would literally go right through it like a hot knife through butter?
Oh and if you were to smash into a neutron star, you would be compressed to about the size of a small bacteria!! Ain't that awesomee!?!?
Basically, yes
Oh, yes.
Well. We are probably screwed when one hits the world.
SwiftProductions W.I.P If all goes according to my master plan, this shouldn't take too long to happen. Muhahahahahaha! 😈
Chuck Norris plays pool with Neutron stars.
The pockets are black holes
I've always really found this very interesting! Something so heavy but oh so small! WOW!!!
Those little birds are the most honest scientest in history 🐦🐤🐦🐤
Everything's cool, just one notification for you, guys - the Polish translation has several errors (mostly grammatical). One of those is quite major (most Poles are going to be *extremely confused* by it): silicon isn't called "silikon" here - "silikon" is a colloquial name for breast augmentation and that's pretty much the only application of it around here. The proper name of the element is "krzem".
Here's a reference: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/krzem
And before you ask me: yes, we're weird. So you are. Pretty much everywhere in the world a pineapple is called "ananas" or a similar name. Guess which language is the exception. :D
+lodziklocPL and It's "naprawdę", not "na prawdę"
You can edit it if you want.
Hà Phi Hùng
Where? O_o
*****
Well, that's a nice gold-nugget of some random trivia! Might come in handy someday. Thanks! :D
+lodziklocPL English is the exception.
It's amazing how we find out about stuff like this, yet we still can't reach mars in a space shuttle.

PylonBuffering Wishful thinking, but those guys are a giant scam.
Simon Tang how?
Simon Tang Its not exactly a scam, its just that what they are doing seems very outlandish and impossible, however, they are actually trying to work on it, although the goal is very ambitious and unbelievable
Steve Ton It's amazing that you think those two things are somehow connected.
Like: 'it's amazing people can run so fast, but no one is flying yet, like wtf' -you
Black hole : I am the coolest thing in space.
Neutron star : Hold my neutrons.
