neutron stars are fucking beautify

the only thing keeping them from collapsing into black holes is degeneracy

literally

Can i has teaspoon of neutron star matter in me tea

enjoy 1000d6 slam attacks because of the gravitational field, bitch

The compression of neutrons in the contracting core, however, creates a neutron degeneracy pressure

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_matter#Neutron_degeneracy

the gravity is so strong, the only thing keeping it from collapsing further is the pauli exclusion principle keeping identical fermions from occupying the same state

someone should insert a picture of VICE news or something on that wiki lol

lol

Thots are made of that

100%

Pozzed Matter

No, I take that back

look up the wiki for Skeksis

degeneracy is the most fucking beautiful thing in quantum mechanics

kek

jewish mechanics

Trannies pedo furries are made of 100% degenerate matter

At lowest total energy (when the thermal energy of the particles is negligible), all the lowest energy quantum states are filled. This state is referred to as *full degeneracy*.

I've never even heard of degenerate matter

damn that's cold

@fuguer what do you know about the observer effect and what are your thoughts on many worlds

observer effect isnt anything mystical due to consciousness, it's just the fact that when you an observer measure a quantum system you become entangled with that system.

measurement = entanglement

I like that

i think many worlds is the most rational interpretation of quantum mechanics, especially when you consider observable experiments like the double slit, and delayed choice eraser

the idea that probing nature creates an effect in itself is very unsettling

if you spend some time trying to understand the double slit experiment, you either have to accept retrocausality + non-locality or many worlds.

actually theres a theorem in that called the quantum no cloning theorem, it means its IMPOSSIBLE to ever copy the state of a quantum system

because in order to observe its state you change it

i mean its not that surprising. to see something you need light to bounce off it and enter your eyes.. so the only way to observe something is to interact with it

yeah that does make sense

and at the quantum level these interactions are HIGHLY significant because observing it means you may have very precise information about its position/momentum/energy/etc which constrains future observations

I think many worlds is completely awesome if that's the state of being

we already know superposition states exist, thats the source of interference patterns..... and we can create these interference patterns with anything, photons, helium nuclei, etc.

particles don't like being pinned down unless you force them to

and they literally have different experiences, going right and left

until we definitely measure it, then we constrain the consistent histories
