What happens when matter can’t get any denser yet somehow does? The answer - it becomes “strange.” Strange Stars may be the most massive stellar remnant that is just shy of forming a black hole. And they could be even cooler than black holes. Space Time is now on Patreon! If you’d like to support the show you can go to http://www.patreon.com/pbsspacetime and throw us a few bucks.

It was thought that this was the densest form of matter possible but some theoretical physicists believe that at the core of some neutron stars the Neutronium breaks down even further, into quark matter. It may even evolve one step further into “strange matter", the densest and most stable substance in the universe.

What sort of college major will teach me to understand these things and how to contribute to their research? I'm totally interested.

some stars have twins... look up at the night sky with a pair of binoculars. if you focus your vision just right you can see two sides of the same star (foreground to background). you'll notice, one side flashes a different color then the other...

Great show..............Thanks!!!!!
-
5:50 statements like these shouldn't make you think "wow, the universe is weird" but instead "wow, our theory is obviously incomplete".
-
No Planck stars? Or dark stars?
-
"We must star-t" 😂
-
LOL the secret science salute earned my like.
-
If neutronium is the densest substance, mathematically speaking shouldn't it all become a black hole?
-
What happens past the Event Horizon?

I feel like he was expecting animations while filming that were never edited in.

quaaax
-
Does this mean that a neutron star continues to collapse despite the outward pressure and stability?
-
"Science Deniers" like the Global warming Cult ?

Thanks for all of your great videos. You're the "Bill Nye" that this generation needs.

U r telling that the core of a neutron star is made of the densest substance in the universe .
We know that gravity Is directly proportional to gravity so in that case the gravity of a neutron star should be higher then the gravity of a black hole.
Why is that not so -
YOU"RE SO DUMB!!1 lol jk
-
Hypothetically if you tried to pick up neutronium in a container made from atoms, say an iron cup, would the neutronium just ooze through the bottom since they are not repulsed by the electromagnetic force of the electrons and protons in the iron atoms?

Hey!
PBS Space Time at 5.48 you have said that Pauli exclusion principle is tricked out because of 3 different quark types "more particles can occupy the lowest quantum energy state" but how is that so? Can you say anything more? It would be great if you explain it further. Thank you. -
Thank you! Great video.
