Well, if it is said that a spoon weighs 1 million tons!

Well, if it is said that a spoon weighs 1 million tons! So how does it sound? Wondering, isn't it?

But no matter how surprised you are, the word is absolutely true. One tablespoon of neutron star or pulsar can weigh up to tens of millions of tons. In fact, there is probably no shortage of such wonderful objects in the universe.

Honestly, we still know very little about cosmology and the farthest reaches of the universe.

Well, let's find out now what is pulsar or neutron star? Our Sun-like stars are born as a result of the contraction of interstellar gaseous matter.

The main constituents of these gaseous substances are hydrogen and helium. These gases begin to shrink under the influence of their own gravitational ball. And as they shrink, their density gradually increases. The result is intense heat. Atomic fusion reactions begin when it rises to tens of millions of degrees.

In this process hydrogen is broken down into helium and helium is broken down into hydrogen. And the mass that is lost according to Einstein's formula E = mc2 as a result of this drastic reaction becomes a huge amount of energy. This is how the stars are formed. There are two types of forces at work in these stars. And the other is that this huge mass of matter is trying to shrink inwards under the influence of their own gravitational ball.

In this state the stars exist in an equilibrium, distributing their own energy and light. We have the sun and such an equilibrium. It will be 500 billion years old and another 500 billion years old. Wondering what to do next? In fact, not all stars have the same age. It depends on its mass. If the mass of a star is 1.5 times the mass of the Sun, it will blow up its outer surface with an explosion. This explosion is called a supernova explosion.

After the explosion there is a corner of the heavy element in the center. But if the mass of a star is more than 3.2 solar masses, it cannot withstand the pressure at its center. This limit is called the Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit. Although it is not a definite and well-defined limit. However, it is certain that if the mass of a star is between 1.5-3 solar masses, then it will go to the outer layer Ure in the explosion and then only a central object or core made of neutrons. This core is not made up of any atom or molecule, only by neutrons. Here, under the influence of gravity, the atoms do not form any atom or atom, but a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.

electron + proton → neutron + electron anti-neutrino

And the only neutron-filled object is called a neutron star. Now the question is why the weight of the object here is unusually high? The answer can be found in the formation of atoms. An atom has almost all the mass in its nucleus. Because the mass of an atom is the total mass of its protons and neutrons. Here the mass of electrons is so less than their total mass that it does not need to be captured later. And this whole bharatukui is in the nucleus of the atom.

But look where the diameter of an atom is 10 ^ -6 m where the diameter of the nucleus is only 10 ^ -15 m. Then you understand that almost the whole space of the atom is empty. Now if there were no voids in the atom, its mass would have increased almost a million times. But neutron stars are actually much denser. Because there is no empty space like an atom, but the whole neutron is stuck to one another. The nucleus of the atom also had some gaps between neutrons and protons, but that is not the case here.

Moreover, when molecules form objects, there is a large amount of intermolecular space. And there is no atom in the neutron star. That is why neutron stars are so much denser than objects in the world we know.

So dense that if one spoonful of matter were brought to Earth, it would weigh tens of millions of tons. These neutron stars are constantly emitting radio pulses, hence its other name pulsar. Some pulsar vibrations are so perfect that it can be used to make the best clock in the world. Usually these stars have a diameter of 10-30 km. At its center is superfluid (it is found only when helium gas is taken at zero temperature).

And Quark may only be found here naked. In 1932, at the Bell Laboratory, a student named Dosenil received a radio signal 1.3 seconds apart. It was later found to be a pulsar. The Chinese saw it in 1054 and recorded it in the same place in the Kakra Nebula. There was something more interesting to say about Pulsar but I couldn't write today as the writing got bigger.
