    So glad I UA-cam recommended this channel. No annoying intros, no annoying transition sound effects, no annoying loud background music, no annoying jump cuts, no forced smartass jokes, edited appropriately with relevant educational information, Excellent job. I sub because of these factors. Please don't change.

      Given the power of the field, I'd say potentially. Maybe small magnetic vortices created by imperfections like temperature differences. Sort of like a magnetar's version of sunspots and solar promontories. Instead of being swirling "cold" spots and immense plasma arcs... They're just little dips and bumps because of how much more extreme the forces are.

    My favorite stories from this niche are "Dragon's Egg" and "Xeelee: Flux."
    "Dragon's Egg" follows microscopic (yet sapient, thanks to their incredible density) alien organisms dwelling on a neutron star's surface as they make contact with human scientists in orbit.
    Meanwhile, "Xeelee: Flux" is told from the perspective of microscopic posthumans engineered to live within the mantle of their neutron star. Highly recommended.

      There's no singularity at the core of a neutron star, that only happens in a blackhole.
      What is a singularity flux? What is a runaway singularity?
      A certain mass collapses to a black hole once it is compressed inside its scwarzshild radius, that is all.

      It probably has somewhere between a supercritcal hydrogen/plasma soup or maybe some forced Bose-Einstein condensates (even though those are meant to be low activity due to cold, maybe this is low activity due to density)

    also... nice choice of a time/space traveling device, I also noticed the lack of a groan and wheezing when you left the magnetars, nice of you to not leave the brakes while dematerializing ;)

      @@martynewsome6881 no A Type Ia supernova (read: "type one-A") is a type of supernova that occurs in binary systems (two stars orbiting one another) in which one of the stars is a white dwarf. The other star can be anything from a giant star to an even smaller white dwarf. This doesn’t produce gold and platinum, but merger of two neutron stars is thought to create them

      The jury is out on that. Neutron star mergers do make some of the r-process gold, but not all of it. They think there is some kind of exotic supernova that may form the balance. Normal supernovae don't make appreciable amounts of gold.

    Very nice high-level overview of both neutron stars and magnetars. I felt, however, that most of the video was on development of the concept, leaving very little for delivery. For example: how are magnetars affecting the Universe? Are there magnetars in binary systems? trinary systems? How many magnetars are in our local region? Estimated amount in the Universe? What are their impact on the growth or death of the Universe? Are they speeding things along or slowing the Universe's aging? Are there practical applications for magnetars? Is a Dyson's Sphere around one a good or a bad idea? Why?
    This video gave us 'hey, magnetars exist,' and did a good job of that. I wish, however, it went beyond just this introduction. Thumbs up on content and delivery.
