PSR J1748-2446ad is a neutron star located some 18000 lightyears away from us. It has about twice the mass of Sol and a radius of 16 kilometers. That's sixteen, not a typo. It rotates on its axis 716 times a second, which means the equator is moving at about 24% of the speed of light. Surface gravity is about 10^11 times Earth standard.

Whenever I read about neutron stars, I can really only say one thing.

Is there a point to this thread?

This is like the pot putting on white robes and burning a cross in the kettle's yard. I found a cool thing and shared it. What exactly do you want?

Thats suprisingly hilarious.
Anyway, That sounds like one hell of a fucking ride.

fact: the only way something could ever be more dense that neutron stars would be being a singularity.

Or people in a political argument.

no, because that would litterally lead to their heads imploding.
And as much as it would be interesting, republicans turning into singularities at random may not be good in the long run

But it would be hilarious, watching politicians implode randomly.

yeah, but then they will also create a vacuum and/or suck up the entirety of earth in the process

Don't worry the resulting politician-hole would be so dense it would phase through dimensions and fuck up something else.

Depends how big the singularity is, if it's a relatively low massing one then it would 'evaporate' relatively quickly.
this explains it better

Well Republicans tend to be pretty massive compared to most people, so.

The reason for this thread, which you gave me.
