10 km? I thought they were more Earth-sized...

Do they get SMALLER as you approach the Chandrakasan limit?....???

Magnetars are cooler anyway... TEN GIGATESLA.

>>1058208
Yup, depending on mass, they are usually around 10-15km in diameter, with an average density of 6.6 * 10^17 kg/m^6, which is more dense than the atomic nucleus WHAT THE FUCK.

Nice, that's almost the speed my penis arrived at the surface of your mother's ass with.

>>1058254
Not cool bro :(

You drop a marshmallow from 1km height.

It hits the start with an explosive force of 300 megatons.

>>1058238
A cubic centimeter of neutronium weighs like 100 tons. Keep in mind that a 1.4 SM is so heavy that it's about to collapse into a single fucking point. It's so heavy that it's own gravity is only barely resisted by degeneracy pressure.

Fuckin supernovas, how do they work?

>>1058297
*100 million tons
fix'd

This seems appropriate.

>>1058297
Motherfucking electrons become relativistic at that point. Space is so badass.

>your face when you realize that's barely 1% of the speed of light

bump for thread containing awe of nature and genuine intelligence

I read about 'star quakes', where the thin crust of a neutron star (neutron stars are crunchy shell of a few cm with a gooey center) can shift and settle down moving less than a centimeter and this triggers a GRB srong enough to kill all life within a few light years.

Hahaha, this thread is thoroughly enjoyable.

>>1058238

m^6

What dimension do you hail from?

>>1058238
>average density of 6.6 * 10^17 kg/m^6, which is more dense than the atomic nucleus WHAT THE FUCK.

What the fuck indeed.

>>1060509
oh here and there

>>1060490

I've heard about this too, and I asked about it in the last "astronomy" thread I saw but no one would comment on it.

In fact before I went to sleep last night I was thinking about starquakes. I was thinking of a situation that is pretty close to OP but more natural I guess.

Hmm. I won't even break a sweat!

>>1060611

Could barely handle 400x gravity and now he thinks he can handle a star, let a lone a neutron star.

>>1058297
>Fuckin supernovae, how do they work?

fixed it for ya

>>1058320
Why is the man going faster?

>>1060678
He's not. The cum is going 3.75 billion trillion, and the man is going 4681 trillion.

fucking magnetars are the shit.

so does the strong force help hold neutron stars together or is that shit all gravity?

>>1060678
billion trillion > trillion

>>1061761

pure gravity. the most powerful force in the universe.

>>1058320

technically, relativistic effects would prevent such speeds and instead he would be spaghettified by the force.

Too bad you didn't account for relativity..... fucking nub.

>>1062691
not really.

>>1062722

>implying the force that holds together strings of superclusters and creates supermassive black holes isn't the most powerful force.

gravity is actually the weakest force in the universe.

>>1062748

k, i see what you're saying. you think that because it's got the lowest coefficient that it's the weakest force. yes, the gravitation constant is the smallest of the 4 primary forces, but in both very small scales and very large scales, gravity trumps all three other forces in terms of effect on the universe - hence, the most powerful force.

>>1062761 completely false. On the smaller scale it is obviously the weakest of all forces.
even the weak force...(or the weak nuclear interaction) is far superior to gravity.

>>1062691
Here is a fun and COOL experiment for you to try, Anon!

1. Take a magnet
2. Attempt to place on a metallic object, such as a refridgerator door
3. The tiny magnet wins at holding its ground agains the ENTIRE FUCKING EARTH gravity well.

>>1062780
>>1062778

>gravity is the most influential force in the universe

does this satisfy the wording now? i guess powerful was a bad choice.

another example...

the entire earth's mass and your mass...attracted to each other by gravity...
is completely repelled by the strong force when your feet interact with the ground. otherwise u would fall into the centre of the earth

>>1062780
Earth's gravity isn't all that strong

Also, obligatory reference to miracles

another victory for science!

>>1062806

in a star's core and in a neutron star, like op's post and like this whole thread, gravity overcomes the electromagnetic force (chandra's limit) and the strong force to make a black hole. gravity is more powerful than both those forces in those conditions.

relative strengths of forces

set strength of gravity to be 1
weak interaction is 10^25 times stronger
electromagnetic is 10^36 times stronger
strong interaction is 10^38 times stronger..

many many times stronger

>>1062829

i refer again to a star's collapse, where none of these forces can overcome gravity.

Gravity may be weak as shit, but I think it's definitely the most AWESOME of all the forces. Why? Because mass attracts mass. That's fucking why. Shit's awesome.

>>1062796
it's still bullshit.
the most influential force?
without strong nuclear we wouldn't have atoms, assface.

Feed your brain with...

http://chandra.harvard.edu/resources/illustrations/neutronStars.html

Oh, and regardless of what your object was...when it strikes the surface of a neutron star it become iron.

>>1062869

yeah, you'd have a sea of atoms and nothing else. without gravity you wouldn't have well - FUCKING ANYTHING. stars, planets, all the elements above hydrogen, fucking gravity - ASSFACE.

>>1062896
Maybe we can all join in hating the electroweak forces? Apparently the universe could still exist in more or less the present form without them

>>1062829
Don't you mean:
Set mass of proton to 1
Electromagnetic charge of proton is 10^36
(insert related stuff for weak & strong interaction)
You cannot directly compare the strengths of the different forces, for they 'respond' to different things - some of which just happen to be more strongly present than others.

>>1058208
Ten... OH GOD

How many tesla has the earth's magnetic field? I am no expert but isn't it a few microtesla?

WHAT THE SHIT

>>1062869

here's a recap. without gravity, those atoms wouldn't collapse into a star and without stars, there's fucking nothing but hydrogen. every single element above hydrogen is made in stars. gravity made those stars. where's your strong force now?

>>1062917
hatersgonnahate.jpg

...

Without strong force you wouldn't have atoms
Without gravity you wouldn't have stars or planets
Without electromagnetism you wouldn't have light

all forces are fucking important, this is not a contest to see which force kicks the other force's asses- ASSFACES

>>1062931

>>1062896
he is obviously trolling, don't mind him.
we all know that the universe wouldn't be what it is today, if any of the forces was missing

>>1062931
You are too right: it is a point we are far too apt to forget in our rush to defend our beloved fundamental forces. Which one of us can honestly say that we have never yawing fish? Can the gravityfags and strong nuclear forcefags not put aside their differences for one moment and consider that yawning fish - even for a fleeting instant? I think it was Richard Feynmann who put it best when he said "The great process of science is an eternal, uplifting quest to separate the truth from a vast yawning fish"

>>1062947

my force is better than your force.

>>1062969

i thought the fish was mad. as in umad.jpg

>>1062706
Would hardly change the numbers.

>>1062982
You might be right... I've never seen utired.jpg thinking about it...
