Same here, it takes you away from everyday problems; to think how large scale universe really is. And as the saying goes: "Astronomy is much more fun when you're not an astronomer"
Once you cross the event horizon theres nothing going back, the blackhole will eat it away but some energy could also spill depending on how violent the blackhole is.

As a social scientist with a huge interest in other fields of science but not enough background knowledge in physics, this was the first time I understood Neutron Stars and how they form. You really do have a talent for finding the right words and comparisons to explain even complicated things. Huge kudos to you for creating this video - its fantastic!
@@judepeppers1206is that the channel with that annoying fish. I tried to watch a video from that channel but I couldn't get around the dumb talking fish.
I think the channel was called "Why Files". It popped up when I was watching this video. Crazy how things pop up when you least expect them huh? However I'll keep the channel you mentioned in my list as well.
Lol, social science isn't real science. C'mon now. With the possible exception of computer science nothing that has "science" in the name is real science. For those wondering why I said "possibly computer science" it's because you could argue that computer science is a culmination of all the sciences, even biology, when you get into quantum computing and what that may look like in the future
To be fair, we are even worse at estimating what is happening inside black holes, complex or otherwise. Even far enough in neutron stars, that's the case.
Extremely well organized and presented. People keep taking for granted that just because you know the subject, you can also communicate it. Communication is a different skill and how you present the info can affect how it's interpreted. This was communicated so that it could be presented in most jr high classes. Good job.
Bro, how do you only have 35.7K. This is honestly better than most other channels. On top of that, you don't do that 10 min midroll pad bs that most others do. GOOD VIDEO :D:D

I don't mean to come across as smart but I have watched virtually all the big science channels on youtube for years (At least 20 of them) and I rarely learn something completely new. This was the best breakdown I have ever seen of the state transitions of neutron stars and I genuinely learned several completely new things I had never known before. Wonderful content!

I appreciate the fact you said "we just don't know" .. I've always found Magnetars the most interesting things in space. Maybe bc the way their depicted idk. It would be cool of we could get close enough to one to see in detail the crazy optical effects it would have but I certainly don't want one anywhere near here lol
This video deserves a double thumbs-up. I like the calm and straightforward narration. So many of these sorts of "educational astronomy" videos are amateurish. With blasting graphics, rushed narration, goofy music. As if they were made for MTV. I learned more about magnetars watching this one video, than I would have gotten watching a dozen or more of these types of videos out there.
Neutron stars are my favorite astronomical objects. Every quality of a Neutron Star is so extreme it blow me away! Like dropping an object from waist high and it will be going nearly light speed by the time it hits the ground
It was so refreshing to watch an explanation of these incredible objects without drama and condescension. Thanks for the really enjoyable post. Would love to see more such, about our strange and wonderful universe.
You probably already know this but I think of it as a fun fact: The interesting thing about the centimeters high "mountains" on a neutron star / magnetar is that if you were standing on one and jumped down from it, you'd hit the surface with the energy equivalent of (drum roll please) all of the world's nuclear weapons detonating at the same time... Yeah, that's insane.
Just to echo what everyone else is saying here. Well done! This is by far the best explanation of magnetars I have seen and I will be recommending this to all my students. These stars can be difficult to understand but you made it easier through your clear animations and descriptions (with a trustworthy midlands accent). ❤💯
Thank you so much. My aim was always to try and make a channel where you didn't have to be a scientist to understand what I was saying. I want others to get as excited about science as I am. I'm not saying I get it right every time, but comments like yours mean so much to me because they mean I'm hopefully on the right track, so thank you again.
@@LearningCurveScience This is the way to reach as many as possible. Unfortunately many people aren't interested in science because they simply don't understand the jargon.
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!!
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)
The beginning is the best, straightforward description of how red giants, neutrino and pulsar stars are created I've seen on YT. I'd never heard of Magnetars either. Thank you.
Excellent watch. Admittedly, I have a personal obsession of watching video topic that I'm already fairly disciplined in, especially on TH-cam. This approach, I mean not just your format but the density and touch to familiarity would be great to see in the classroom. Just a thought.. have you considered reaching out to some public school systems to provide materials for free through TH-cam? I don't know why exactly I thought of this, just food for thought. I'm nobody special, but I'll try to mention your material to some of the 'big hammers' of content creators etc. Liked, subscribed, interested in seeing the future of this channel. Nice work!
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
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.
Fantastic video, I’m in awe at how extreme Magnetars are! Also makes me have to go back to Magnetism 101 haha and wonder what would “win” in an encounter between a Magnetar and Black Hole.
"neutron stars but scarier" is like saying "we took this polar bear that's been fed steroids and taught to lift cars and made it scarier!" How. How could it get scarier!?
Well, have you seen the new Jurassic park? Ya it's like how they took the T rex and added all the scary parts of other dinosaurs, and you end up with the Andominous Rex
I’m so grateful that TH-cam recommended this channel to me, I am a huge space nerd, and I could watch this content all day and night! The universe never ceases to amaze me the more I learn, the more I’m humbled by the fact that we’re all just stardust
@@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.
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
excellent video!! never thought neutron stars could have a more magnetic variant 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 ;)
A proper journey I'd say this was. Good storytelling, it truly leads one to imagine and visualize the narrative you're trying to bring upon. Subbed instantly!
I liked the part at 3:19 where you said "the star has used up all of its fuel," followed by the next sentence at 3:28 "This means the star has used up all of its fuel."
Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker.When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand.
There was a scene in Another Life where their ship got too close to a magnetar and almost got torn apart. It was pretty cool. Also, your Time and Space Machine looks an awful lot like a TARDIS
What a fun person to be around, but I do get what you are saying, some people simply just want the knowledge without the baggage. I think other creators use comedy to get everyday people interested in the topic.
TH-cam does surprise me on occasion by recommending channels such as this one. Excellent presentation of the subject matter. During the video, my mind flashed to Robert L. Forward's novels "Dragons Egg" and "Starquake"! Time to read them again!
I like how your time and space machine closely resembles the original appearance of a tardis. See where the first doctor steals the one we know and love that soon gets stuck looking like a police box.
This is astrophysics meterial that I love, whilst others on your board deal with the more anomalous and quantum stuff. Subscribed, as I will watch all your videos. Kitty Ferguson is my favorite on black holes, for instance; Brian Greene on theoretical physics and cosmology... and so forth. You've become my favourite science refresher course so far on TH-cam. In appreciation -
my favorite type of neutron star. i even created a superhero called Magnetar :) and i JUST noticed around 8:30(ish) looks like the un camouflaged TARDIS that the Doctor stole when he ran away from Galifrey :P this alone DEFINITELY earned a subscriber!
3:45 Death Star reference (it’s already been proven that although that ring on the horizon looks cool. It’s impossible to happen in space spring an explosion 💥 so the only explanation why you did this on the animation is that you wanted to reference to that scene when the Death Star exploted from StarWars 😅 8:26 “hyperspace animation” I’m 100% convinced you getting inspired by Star Wars. To clarify, discs in space do happen such as planetary discs around new stars and galaxies themselves are usually shaped like a disc. However, their shape has nothing to do with an explosion because in space and explosion would have the same exact release of material from all sides in a three dimensional sphere. This is what I mean by an exploding supernova will never have a ring. Only I. The movies😅
You're absolutely correct, those things wouldn't really happen in space, but I like to try and make my animations as visually appealing as possible, and I really like that effect. I think the first time I saw it was in Star Trek VI when the Klingon moon blows up and I've liked the visual appeal of it ever since. Even though I'm not the worlds greatest 3D artist I always try to make my videos look interesting, so the same effect will appear again in my next video, though slightly altered. The hyperspace animation is based on the Time Vortex from Doctor Who, of which I am a massive fan, but I'm also a massive fan of Star Wars as well. Basically I'm a geek
100% magnetars are my favourite type of star, ever since I was introduced to their existence. I mean a star with a magnetic field that can crack its own "crust" apart. Very cool. Thanks for covering this!
Thank you for this fascinating video! Your explanations are so clear and logical that even I can (almost) understand. I have immediately subscribed and look forward to learning more.

Just to echo what everyone else is saying here. Well done! This is by far the best explanation of magnetars I have seen and I will be recommending this to all my students. These stars can be difficult to understand but you made it easier through your clear animations and descriptions (with a trustworthy midlands accent). ❤💯
Thank you so much, that's very kind of you.
Mmmm.... Nuclear pasta....
I very much like the clear explanations in simple words. This channel deserves way more subscribers and views. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much. My aim was always to try and make a channel where you didn't have to be a scientist to understand what I was saying. I want others to get as excited about science as I am. I'm not saying I get it right every time, but comments like yours mean so much to me because they mean I'm hopefully on the right track, so thank you again.
@@LearningCurveScience This is the way to reach as many as possible. Unfortunately many people aren't interested in science because they simply don't understand the jargon.
Thank you for your great presentation.
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!!
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)
The beginning is the best, straightforward description of how red giants, neutrino and pulsar stars are created I've seen on YT. I'd never heard of Magnetars either. Thank you.
Excellent watch. Admittedly, I have a personal obsession of watching video topic that I'm already fairly disciplined in, especially on TH-cam. This approach, I mean not just your format but the density and touch to familiarity would be great to see in the classroom. Just a thought.. have you considered reaching out to some public school systems to provide materials for free through TH-cam? I don't know why exactly I thought of this, just food for thought. I'm nobody special, but I'll try to mention your material to some of the 'big hammers' of content creators etc.
Liked, subscribed, interested in seeing the future of this channel. Nice work!
Thank you very much. I am actually a science teacher in the UK in my 'normal' job
This was a good informative video. I'm gonna try and prank my friend with a magnetar tomorrow! It's gonna be so funny!
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
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.
3:43 That was a rather cute "BOOM!" for a supernova!
Of course something is named after pasta. It is required.
Also love the off brand tardis.
I've been drawn into your magnetar,
Pit
Trap

That is totally an un-formatted TARDIS.
Your videos are so dense with knowledge that your magnetic field has captured me for good!
Thank you so much
Fantastic video, I’m in awe at how extreme Magnetars are! Also makes me have to go back to Magnetism 101 haha and wonder what would “win” in an encounter between a Magnetar and Black Hole.
A gravitational anomaly vs a magnetic anomaly? Interesting indeed
Gravity wins, always.
After I year, I can confirm, the quality has remained consistently good!
"neutron stars but scarier" is like saying "we took this polar bear that's been fed steroids and taught to lift cars and made it scarier!" How. How could it get scarier!?
Like this!!
Well, have you seen the new Jurassic park? Ya it's like how they took the T rex and added all the scary parts of other dinosaurs, and you end up with the Andominous Rex
100000000000¹¹² times scarier
teach it how to pick locks!
I’m so grateful that TH-cam recommended this channel to me, I am a huge space nerd, and I could watch this content all day and night! The universe never ceases to amaze me the more I learn, the more I’m humbled by the fact that we’re all just stardust
Thank you.
I love you sir! You have such great videos. I always smile when I watch your stuff and enjoy it greatly!
Thank you, that's such a nice thing to say and I'm glad you enjoy my videos.
I learned several new concepts I had never even heard about before. Fantastic job!
Gold is formed when two neutron stars collided which means we already touched some parts of a neutron star.
Type 1A supernova
@@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.
@@marshalltjones well that may be, but my answer was that it’s not created by type 1A
Glad I came across this in the morning because there’s no way I would have been able to sleep well right after watching this.
12:16 Neutrons are not fundamental particles! The Quarks and Gluons that make up a Neutron are fundamental particles.
This channel is quite good, straight to the point and explained each part clearly
Fantastic video about an incredibly weird ... thing. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
At least the Chameleon circuit on their TARDIS isn't stuck on '1960's police box'....
i enjoy your channel very much
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it
I'm happy I found a clear explanation of how the magnetic field would polarize the vacuum and that would look like.
6:32 "Pulsars can swim very quickly" :)
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, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
love that we travelled there in an undisguised TARDIS
I just found this channel. No flaws whatsoever. The calming narration is a bonus. I'm subscribing.
Thank you so much.
@@LearningCurveScience You're welcome! :)
A wonderfully narrated story, thank you!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
excellent video!! never thought neutron stars could have a more magnetic variant
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 ;)
Thank you very much. Shhh I don't want the Time Lords to know I've got one.
Love the idea of being magnetically disincorporated.
Would the magnetic field get you before the tidal forces?
To be honest, you probably wouldn't get anywhere close. I just wanted to do the animation.
Far enough it would begin to steal your money and keys
A proper journey I'd say this was. Good storytelling, it truly leads one to imagine and visualize the narrative you're trying to bring upon. Subbed instantly!
Another great video.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed
Thanks! Most complete explanation of magnetars I've found
Thank you so much John. That's incredibly kind of you!
I love this channel, please keep up the good work, you're making relatively complex subjects very very accessible to our kids.
..and brainwashing them even further into thinking the Heliocentric model is accurate.
Very cool video! Fascinating to think about a magnet so strong that it stops chemistry itself from happening from thousands of miles away…
I liked the part at 3:19 where you said "the star has used up all of its fuel," followed by the next sentence at 3:28 "This means the star has used up all of its fuel."
I know, sometimes my scripts get a bit out of hand.
Everybody’s a critic. You try to research, write a script and do all the video graphic stuff. I loved the video regardless.
When he said literally rip you apart I was like doesn’t everything in space do that?
Thanks so much for this. You really managed to make a really complex topic easy to follow without a headache - thank you!
Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker.When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand.
There was a scene in Another Life where their ship got too close to a magnetar and almost got torn apart. It was pretty cool.
Also, your Time and Space Machine looks an awful lot like a TARDIS
One of the biggest disappoints of that incident, is that they didn’t die only became sterile.
That was insane. Nicely written! Wow.
Extreme!
Thank you for the Video, seeing extreme forces break down the rules of the universe is always super fascinating
The tardis-like animation to travel to the magnetar was pretty funny
Ah yes, nuclear lasagna
Don't forget your complimentary nuclear neutron sticks!*
*while supplies last
That would be so cool if we could comprehend what the matter in and around the Stars looked and felt like and how it acted.
So glad you dont make jokes and attempt to be be funny in your videos, I personally HATE when people try to mix comedy + science.
😐!!
😐!! Is it that serious?
What a fun person to be around, but I do get what you are saying, some people simply just want the knowledge without the baggage.
I think other creators use comedy to get everyday people interested in the topic.
Wow you seem fun at parties lol
I hate when people are really stuck up
16:16 - I love the default configuration TARDIS!
I like how he uses a TARDIS.
I totally haven't got a Tardis, The Time Lords are not missing one at all
TH-cam does surprise me on occasion by recommending channels such as this one. Excellent presentation of the subject matter. During the video, my mind flashed to Robert L. Forward's novels "Dragons Egg" and "Starquake"! Time to read them again!
My favorite celestial object.
I like how your time and space machine closely resembles the original appearance of a tardis. See where the first doctor steals the one we know and love that soon gets stuck looking like a police box.
Scientists really are the worst at naming things
Glad someone else says it for once thank you
Space is just so wild and fascinating. Ever since I was a kid I've loved this stuff!
Me too. I'll never see any of these things in real life, and I can't draw so this is the next best thing to imagining them
Massive congrats on the algo push. You deserve the audience. Excellent content.
Thank you so much 😊
This is astrophysics meterial that I love, whilst others on your board deal with the more anomalous and quantum stuff. Subscribed, as I will watch all your videos. Kitty Ferguson is my favorite on black holes, for instance; Brian Greene on theoretical physics and cosmology... and so forth. You've become my favourite science refresher course so far on TH-cam. In appreciation -
Glad I was reccomended this by the youtube algorithm. The little spaceship we traveled in is great. Don’t change what you’re doing. This is great!
Thank you very much and welcome aboard.
my favorite type of neutron star. i even created a superhero called Magnetar :) and i JUST noticed around 8:30(ish) looks like the un camouflaged TARDIS that the Doctor stole when he ran away from Galifrey :P this alone DEFINITELY earned a subscriber!
3:45 Death Star reference (it’s already been proven that although that ring on the horizon looks cool. It’s impossible to happen in space spring an explosion 💥 so the only explanation why you did this on the animation is that you wanted to reference to that scene when the Death Star exploted from StarWars 😅
8:26 “hyperspace animation” I’m 100% convinced you getting inspired by Star Wars.
To clarify, discs in space do happen such as planetary discs around new stars and galaxies themselves are usually shaped like a disc. However, their shape has nothing to do with an explosion because in space and explosion would have the same exact release of material from all sides in a three dimensional sphere. This is what I mean by an exploding supernova will never have a ring. Only I. The movies😅
You're absolutely correct, those things wouldn't really happen in space, but I like to try and make my animations as visually appealing as possible, and I really like that effect. I think the first time I saw it was in Star Trek VI when the Klingon moon blows up and I've liked the visual appeal of it ever since. Even though I'm not the worlds greatest 3D artist I always try to make my videos look interesting, so the same effect will appear again in my next video, though slightly altered. The hyperspace animation is based on the Time Vortex from Doctor Who, of which I am a massive fan, but I'm also a massive fan of Star Wars as well. Basically I'm a geek
100% magnetars are my favourite type of star, ever since I was introduced to their existence. I mean a star with a magnetic field that can crack its own "crust" apart. Very cool. Thanks for covering this!
Thank you for this fascinating video! Your explanations are so clear and logical that even I can (almost) understand. I have immediately subscribed and look forward to learning more.
Great video well explained enjoyed it very much subscribed.
