This is so much more informative and detailed than other KZbin sources. I love it!

Since the neutron star can withstand the bounce upon forming by rebounding to a higher state of equation then they can be much larger than the smallest ones we see. However some up them upon cooling do drop into nothingness of a black hole. Also spin angular momentum also seems to aid the largest size. So the balance is exquisite. The fact that they were theorized soon after the discovery of the neutron means they do need added more abundantly to heavier elements to keep the protons from flying apart with so much repulsion. In fact why they gain so much energy upon fission and why less and less energy is obtained when heavier elements fuse. My guess is most of the heavier elements in the Earth's crust was from a kilonova in the cloud forming the solar system. Thus the range of rare earths seeming to be so numerous was from decaying neutron star collision fragments and had to cool enough to collapse into the solar system. All this means I wonder how rare life is in the universe.
