Neutron stars are one of the most extreme and violent things in the universe. Giant atomic nuclei, only a few kilometers in diameter but as massive as stars. And they owe their existence to the death of something majestic.

I'm really happy that Kurzgesagt remade this video. I already thought that their original video on Neutron Stars was brilliant, but it seems that enough progress was made in both science and the development of this channel that they felt it necessary to have another go at making an improved version- and what a corker it is! There was no mention of _nuclear pasta_ in the last one for sure!

Miracles of the Quran Orbits of the Moon and Sun Quran Surah (21- The Prophets, 33) 33- It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun, and the moon; each of them floating in an orbit . High altitude pressure Whoever Allah wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam . But whoever He wills to leave astray, He makes their chest tight and constricted as if they were climbing up into the sky. This is how Allah dooms those who disbelieve. (Quran 6 125) . Atom is not the smaller thing And not absent from your Lord is any [part] of an atom's weight within the earth or within the heaven or [anything] smaller than that or greater but that it is in a clear register. (Quran 10 61) ( People believed that atom is the smallest thing in the world. Later discovered neutrons and protons) .

(Later his body was found in 1881. Researcher of the body Dr. Maurice buccaile converted to Islam) mountains resist earthquake (16 15) And He placed mountains on the earth, lest it should shake with you, and rivers and tracks, so that you may find the right way scientific Miracles of the Quran IRON 27 iron came from outer space (57 25) We sent down iron with its great might, benefits for humanity 28 iron is the center of earth and Quran ( Quran have 114 chapters and middle chapter 57 is iron.

@@2009samiy Huff, bro, you're going to have to get a lot more compelling both scientifically and philosophically if you're going to tempt me into believing the same god created the immeasurable heavens, the infintescimately small atoms which they are made of AND the cordycepts fungi which can only exist by controlling your mind and make all your internal organs bust out your forehead so it can start it's life cycle again. For every one absolutely brilliant absolutely incomprehensible thing I see which I could attribute to God, I am instantly reminded of the cruelty of existence and how their is no Abrahmamic god with the imagination to design something like ebola. You wanna say god exists? I'll agree. I've met them. You wanna say "his" name is "Allah"? I'll tell you that a 6000 year old book cannot comprehend the true majesty of the awesome boundless existence and the astounding solitude of earth's isolation. Also you didn't mention a neatron star once, so you can do one in that regard too. Way to compliment your maker's talents 😑

[@yanderevenom9793]

Nuclear pasta… spaghettification… I think the scientists came up with these theories before lunch 😂🤣

[@malloid]

They could do with remaking it again and mentioning (and animating) Neutron Degeneracy Pressure (that stops the collapsing core of the star becoming a black hole), and also the 'R-Process' which makes the heavier elements in a kilonova. Also: their pronunciation of magnetars seems a bit off. They could do with explaining magnetars a bit more (like: how they're formed, and also that they're potentially one of the most dangerous objects in a galaxy). Also: they didn't even mention starquakes and the possible relationship between those and fast GRBs.

It's wild to me that something so ridiculously, incredibly extreme could have irregularities in its surface at all, let alone "a few centimeters high"-- the idea of a neutron star, this impossibly dense ball of particles, could have a surface rough enough that you could actually hypothetically _see_ its irregularities with the _naked eye,_ is mind-boggling to me. I would have imagined it to be completely uniform

[@dethkruzer]

I have to wonder, if you actually could get close enough to one to hypothetically observe it with the naked eye, without immediately dying spectacularly, could you actually see it for what it actually is? Considering it bends light by merely existing.

I like the voice of this narrator. That British accent. Very soothing and just nice. I like how he doesn’t pronounce supernova emphasizing the “a” at the end lol. He would have failed vocabulary in grade school here 😂 I also love learning about neutron stars. They aren’t as extreme as black holes, but we know way more about neutron stars so it kinda makes them more interesting in some ways. Also lots of scientists think it’s neutron stars that gave our advanced life possible. Kilonovas (collision of binary neutron stars) giving heavy elements that created us. Not to mention they may harbor strange matter (which might be what we know as dark matter). It’s pretty cool to think about. Wish I understood it all better.

“No one knows for sure, and that’s why we do science” Brilliantly put. So much more respect when we can openly admit we don’t know something.

[@nyqa]

Agreed. To me science is humans ways to understand our reality. We use science to learn and describe every part of what we see, hear and feel. Some science change over time when we learn more about us, our world and universe and some science seem to stand true until time itself.

*To the Kurzgesagt translator for the channel's Spanish subs* : There's a *massive mistake* in the Spanish translation that's repeated in every video: numbers beyond 1 billion are always wrong, as they aren't converted from short scale (used in English) to long scale (used in Spanish): thus, "billions" are wrongly translated into "billones", "trillions" into "trillones", etc. Those are _false friends_ because, actually, 1 billion [in English] = 1000 millones [in Spanish], NOT "1 billón"; likewise, 1 trillion in English = 1 billón in Spanish; and so on. These mistakes are present in every Kurzgesagt video I've seen with Spanish subs and therefore the quantities are wrong by a huge order of magnitude. Please correct them so people don't get the wrong info. *[Explanation:]* This is because Anglo-Saxon countries use the "short scale system", while Hispanic and continental-Europe countries use the "long scale". In the first case, "one billion" means "a thousand millions" (1,000,000,000), whereas in the long scale, "one billion" equals "a million millions" (1,000,000,000,000), also called "a milliard". The Italian subs, for example, got this right and translated the English word "billion" into "miliardi". (The only correct translation in this video is "1 million" to "1 millón", since both scales coincide in using that same word for the number 1,000,000.)
