Quark Stars: Have We Finally Proved Their Existence?

Explore the universe's mysterious quark stars! Learn how these exotic objects, composed of free quarks, could reveal secrets about gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, and the very origins of our cosmos.

To be fair in this case they're just named after the elementary particles that make them up. Blame the particle physicists.

I feel like the comparison to Tsar Bomba doesn't really do 10^47 Joules justice. It would take the Sun about 8 trillion years to put out that much energy, which is about 600X the age of the universe

[@DereliqueMahBAWLS]

🤯 This hurts my head to think about. Absolutely insane

[@ambion19]

If I'm reading you right, your saying a GRB has about as much energy flashing out in an instant as the entire output of the sun, over it's entire life, 800 times over

[@Jason-vn5xj]

The fact that we're about to lose Chandra with no replacement even on an appropriations list, much less being designed and built, means we are about to lose a full generation of X-ray astronomy. Budding astronomers in undergrad right now will be retired before they see a new X-ray telescope in space. We never run out of money for bombs or tax breaks for people with a billion dollars, though. Weird.

[@bennyb.1742]

Remember when people like, did things together "for all mankind"? That was cool.

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

The Joan Pearce Research Associates noted in their initial report on the names and terms used in the DS9 pilot script that the word "Quark" was coined by Murray Gell-Mann "to denote a theoretrical particle." Gell-Mann actually borrowed the word from James Joyce's 1939 novel Finnegans Wake: "Three quarks for Muster Mark."

LIGO is also operated by LSU Louisiana State University. The LIGO observatory in Livingston is only about 40 miles from LSU. Or it’s in the general area. Out in the country south east of Baton Rouge. The director of that one is an LSU physics professor.

[@ilionreactor1079]

Top and Bottom quarks were originally going to be called Truth and Beauty, but that was thought "too cute." I wish they had kept that.

[@rob.parsnips]

If quark stars exist, I’ll be interested to see why they appear so much rarer than neutron stars. We’ve observed upwards of 2000 neutron stars (according to google), but no confirmed quark stars. Are they actually rare, or just harder to observe? Is material in the correct mass range just hard to come by? Maybe they’re very short-lived? 🤷‍♂️

[@brianlittleforest631]

Whew. That was a doozy.

[@RickStormT]

Wish Simon would slow down and chill for space content.. When I put him to .9 speed he just sounds slurry drunk lol

[@Kadath_Gaming]

One comment for the editor, the wobbly graphs and infographics zooming around in these videos are very distracting

[@Pseudo___]

I’ve read that strange matter would be likely very stable. And considering the current expected mount of heavier atoms that are supposed to come from neutron star collisions… And the lack of strange matter ever found. I’m going to guess no. And this video not at least mentioning that is pretty bad.

[@danielalexander799]

If you compress a neutron star to a more dense object you get a quark star with gravity so strong that light cannot escape and form a black hole.

[@SnowSnake666]

[@aluisious]

Is Tom Cruise a top or bottom quark star?

[@Pseudo___]

We haven’t

[@andyharris3084]

Gravity is not a fundemental force in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The hypothetical force carrier for Gravity (i.e. the Graviton) has not so far been discovered. There is a good chance it doesn't exist as gravity is a derivative effect rather than a force. If General Relativity is correct anyway.

pffffftt! Have not even proven the existence of these " quark " things. Now we making up stars made from fairy dust?

[@Unknowngfyjoh]

I independently theorized quark stars without knowing anyone else had theorized it before. It's obvious they exist. It's also obvious there's no such thing as a "black hole."

[@jeremymagee9559]

Ignorant thought here. Do you know how the middle of a black hole and neutron stars is strange matter, or we have no explanation for what it is because it doesn't make sense? And you know how we don't know what dark matter is? But it takes up most of the empty space in our universe. What if condensed strange matter creates New material for a new universe inside the core of a black hole? Complete with its own set of physics

[@shinobitatsu]

No, we have not proven thier existence and it doesn't matter at all.

[@Axonteer]

How many Quarks does a Quark Quark when a Quark Quark's Quarks? CHANDRA MANY... sorry im tired
