[@antonystringfellow5152]

Besides the over-simplicity and a few errors in the information (molecules in a neutron star), you seem to have missed one possible property of a neutron star that really would make it more dangerous than a black hole - "strange matter". Strange matter is only theoretical but may well exist in some of the heaviest neutron stars. If two neutron stars containing strange matter were to collide, some of this strange matter (composed of strange quarks) could escape into space. Any ordinary matter escaping from the collision would simply expand back to its regular size and density, once away from the intense gravity. Not strange matter. That would still be ultra-dense (the mass of Everest in an area smaller than a sugar cube). The possibility of such super dense chunks of matter flying through space isn't the worst part though. Should a fragment of this matter, however small, come into contact with normal matter (such as a planet), it would quickly convert all that ordinary matter into strange matter. That planet, and all that it contained, would quickly shrink into a tiny ball of super-dense strange matter. Now THAT'S a scary thought! PS Try not to have nightmares though. No-one is certain this stuff actually exists and we haven't observed any planets or stars disappearing yet. So, even if this stuff is out there, there can't be very much of it.

@M87 Star It might exist in neutron stars and be ejected in a collision before the merged neurton star collapses into a block hole (or it might even not collapse at all, it is unknown if the TOV limit is more or less than 2 times the Chandrasekhar limit. The Chandrasekhar limit is 1.4 solar masses and from theory and empricial data we know that the TOV limit is somewhere between 2.53 and 2.9 solar masses. There is no exact calculation because for this we would need quantum gravity).

In fact later papers suggest that the moment you cross the event horizon you cease to exist, 'cosmic firewall' is a term to look for.

[@bi1iruben]

Science badly explained, simplified to point where almost all statements are just wrong. (A) Hydrogen & helium don't burn in stars, for burning is the chemical reaction of molecules/atoms undergoing oxidation & reduction reactions to release energy - instead nuclei in stars fuse together in nuclear reaction called fusion. (B) Most stars will continue to fuse beyond helium, with each successive step (which are not "chain reactions" which is what happens in fissile reactions inside nuclear reactor or atomic bombs) starting when the core of the star compresses further and so has greater pressure and temperature for the next step to occur creating yet further heavier elements. (C) The higher core temperatures heat up the outer layers of the star which then expand out as red giants. Some of the outer layers are shed off, possible causing large clouds confusingly termed planetary nebula (they have mothering to do with planets and are the size of solar systems). (D) For smaller stars the eventual iron core cannot progress further and most of the star remains lighter elements. What remains after the outer envelops of the star have blown off is no longer supported by the energy of fusion and instead compacts tightly as nuclei with electrons able to travel freely through the material It is the pression of the electrons that gives rise to the name of "Electron degeneracy" matter with a density approx. 10,000kg per cubic cm. Cooling down from millions of degrees in their cores the remands are white hot, hence the term white dwarfs. These are about the size of the Earth with the mass of the sun. (E) In larger stars the end of fusion results in the core collapsing to form what will be the remnant of a neutron star, the layers above the core then fall inward under gravity only to hit the surface of the neutron star at significant fractions of the speed of light. The rebound of this causes an explosion in which much of the middle and outer layers of the star are blown outwards as a supernova. The energy of the implosion/explosion causes atoms to fuse higher than iron (element 26) up to Rubidium (element 37). The gravity of remnants heavier than 1.4 mass of our sun overcomes electron degeneracy and the pressure density favours electrons fusing with protons to become neutrons and it is the strong nuclear force of repulsion that resists the effects of gravity (neutron degeneracy) . Neutron stars may have the mass of 1.5 Suns in an object just 12 miles across, the corresponding density being about 4×10^11 kg per cubic centimetre. (F) Stars of above 8 solar masses are expected after their supernova explosion to leave remnants of 3-4 Solar masses which is more than even neutron degeneracy can not support. The remnant therefore collapse ever tighter and in the absence of any known physics to provide additional resistive force continues to collapse. Current physics theories are incomplete as they allow the whole of the 3-4 solar mass to compact without limit to form a singularity - literally mass in infinitely small volume and with thus infinite density. Infinities generally don't exist and merely indicate that better maths or models are needed, and a quantum theory of gravity might suggest the neutrons collapse to plank length separations of 1.616255)×10^-22 m but we have no such theory at present. The "size" of a black hole is not given by this uncertain stellar remnant but the distance away from its core at which escape velocity ceases to be greater than the speed of light - this event horizon is the point of no return - outside of this light can escape though will be bent, within all timelines point to the singularity.

Funnily enough, there is something about neutron stars that is scarier than black holes: they are more "stable", while potentially able to "die", their properties mean that most likely they will only die until heat death or big rip.

blah blah blah Scarier ? No ! Neutron stars are likely failed black holes, emitting much more radiation (in multiple wavelengths) and with strong magnetic field (pulsars). What do I have to get afraid of ? Should I prefer to get near a black hole or a neutron start ? I bet the result is pretty much the same : death if I'm stupid, wonderful sights if I use the appropriate protection. A black hole or a neeutron star is NOT a giant space vacuum, you just don't get sucked in, you CAN orbit them just like a satellite orbits Earth. BTW, black holes can collide with anything, including other black holes, they are much more spectacular than clliding neutron stars. ^^ so much blah blah blah and failing to point out the only specific case where one may fear a neutron star : a wandering neutron star getting relatively close to the solar system (impossible in the next million years, highly unlikely in the next trillion years) : you just don't want your electronics to stop working because of strong high frequency magnetic field disuptions.

[@arkadasgupta4664]

it might be childish thought so spare me, but if expressed my thoughts: if the positive and negatives come too close to each other (as if becoming one), what i think is they will escape to a different space-time (as they might become a particle similar to that of nothing? a particle of time perhaps? lest if not said becomes zero), thus creating a vacuum in space-time continuum, when this happens, there a continued connection be made. The particle formed might be Gravitons, as they are mass-less. Just imagine a place inside a neutron star, full of Gravitons, which travel to and fro from one space-time continuum to another. I won't say any further. Thank you for reading this thought imaginations of mine.

[@MaverickBlue42]

I'm just going to put this out there, neutron stars are definitely not denser than a black hole. If they were, the laws of physics would demand that they become a black hole. Black holes effectively have infinite density, which is why they warp space back on themselves so strongly that not even light itself can escape. Go learn some science @Insane Curiosity. In fact, if enough mass were to get caught in the gravity of a neutron star and collide with it, beyond a certain point the star would collapse(according to theory) into a quark star(we still don't know if these exist, but the maths say they do), and then a black hole. Basically, any object whose gravity is strong enough to crush itself beyond the Schwarzschild radius becomes a black hole by definition. If neutron stars were denser than a black hole, they would also meet the definition of a black hole. If you would like to learn a bit and look like less of a fool with your claims, here's an article published by the Goethe University Frankfurt: phys.org/news/2016-04-neutron-star-collapse-black-hole.html

Straight from neutron star to black hole on a gradient of "scary?" Come on, you forgot about the NEXT scariest thing after the neutron star but before the black hole: MAGNETAR (has magnetosphere light years across so powerful that it'll pull the electrons out of every atom. You'd get magnetized into liquid. Steer clear during interstellar travel)

[@kangxu4839]

You obviously only talk about stellar black holes, which are the remnants of dead stars like neutron stars are. The biggest of such black holes is 70 solar mass, according to a Nature paper last week. But there are far bigger black holes in the universe, the super massive black holes, which are billions of solar masses, and whose origins are not understood yet.

The video has a lot of mistakes, you should check your bibliography for a better understanding of black holes and neutron stars, you have good concepts but you are not explaining them as they should be explained, especially physics ones.

[@paulgagnon9830]

Even a Neutron star would dump protons at the sight of my mother in law ! (Shudders)

[@snailsnatcher1707]

Well neutron stars aren’t scarier black holes have so much mass it literally pieces space and nothing and I mean NOTHING can escape so if a neutron Star wus near it it would be swollowed into abyss

The Sun will become a RED GIANT, NOT a Red Supergiant. The Sun is not massive enough to become a supergiant.

[@johngrey5806]

Too many mistakes, this narrator is no scientist. Please have the script checked by a real scientist next time. (For example, he talked about the "molecules" inside the neutron star when there aren't even atoms.)

4:35 - "and then electrons start transform into neutrons - OK, 'nuff of this garbage. Beam me up, Scotty... (and a thumb down).

[@terryjaster4771]

All I will say is if you people didn't like it, don't watch it. And stop being a bunch of whiners. And with only 188 thumbs down a lot of others enjoyed it too.

[@stvp68]

Actually, I have not seen you wax about anything, since you are not shown on screen.

[@cryptodiesel1177]

Love how half of the reasons have to do with how it is related to black holes, including #1, that it can create black holes..... yeah black holes are still way fucking scarier.

[@Mr_AlcoN]

This was the most annoying to listen to. Stop acting like your audience are morons. And I think you have missunderstod the concept of numbered lists, made no sense to have a list in the video.

[@cameront3768]

Black holes are scarier. They eat entire galaxies when given the chance and if you are not near them you can’t see them unless they get hungry and some poor star or gaseous matter gets too close. On the other hand you can clearly see neutron stars and stay away from them. Black holes are also scarier because they become ultra massive while eating. Never seen a neutron star eat as much as a black hole. So in conclusion black holes are scarier

[@micstonemic696stone]

a Magnetron type star has the ability to strip our atoms apart to our planet and us with very strong gravity and magnetic strength, that would be a bad day on planet earth. what if we were unable to detect its approach or were and have a limited time to prepare for it as Jupiter gets swallowed up, that's a scary possibility.

[@jarradgreen1573]

They don't call it strange matter because they don't know what to call it they call it strange matter because there is an actual thing call the strange quark and they believe that the neutron stars cores are potentially made of strange quark like a soup of strange quarks

[@MrWildbill]

It does not matter who this is aimed at, it is materially wrong on so many points it is amazing. It is riddled with errors, mistakes, and misunderstanding from end to end. Also note, it is not molecules being crushed, it is atoms, the electrons are crushed into the protons converting then into neutrons, thus the name neutron star.
