How can it be so massive?

At one atom diameter

What's the compression ratio there?

lightspeed is big number

Nuts

thats right

thats the gravity you need to create an event horizon the size of an atom

if its a billionth the size of an atom it gets more managable.

aka within the radius of an atom light cannot escape

when you really want to punish your party, you throw a neutronium golem at them

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.
