    So glad I TH-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.

    The tardis-like animation to travel to the magnetar was pretty funny

  • @NA-mg2eb

    Are the centimeters high mountains a result of the magnetic field? I had seen another educational video where they were talking about studies of pulsars that had concluded that any deviations from perfect smoothness on said pulsars would need to be considerably less than a millimeter

    • @Knight-Bishop
      @Knight-Bishop ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    I've seen so many videos explaining this whole process by now, but somehow, I can never stop.
    This one was especially excellent!
    I'm not sure I've heard anyone mention yet that they have a light-bending effect similar to black holes, letting you see the other side. The optical effects of the magnetic field itself is fascinating

    Thank you so much for explaining this to me. My question is how is this information acquired?
    About the inside of the star.
    2. What stops this type of star from becoming a black hole? Thank you.

    Neutron stars and their variants are indeed fascinating, enigmatic objects. I wonder what sort of pressures are exerted at the very core? Is there a strange matter/singularity flux going on? Are there neutron stars so close in mass required for black hole formation that it would only take a bump to flip into a runaway singularity? The mind does wonder! Thank you for your channel, great work!!

    • @durshurrikun150
      @durshurrikun150 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

      @technewseveryweek8332 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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)

    My favorite super-niche subset of science fiction involves alien live evolving on/in neutron stars, it makes me wonder if complex nuclear chemistry is possible with the unusual matter found there.
    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.

    7:50 wait so if the earth didn’t spin it would lose it’s magnetic field that protects us from harmful radiation? I thought it was a permanent magnet? How do we know the magnetic field would stop if it stopped spinning?

    • @VulcanM61
      @VulcanM61 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron and nickel in its outer core. This movement creates electric currents, which in turn produce the magnetic field. If the Earth stopped rotating, the movement in the outer core would change, likely disrupting the electric currents and weakening or stopping the magnetic field.
