Strange Stars

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the right place for this post. Just learned that some supernova stellar remnants may exist as quarks. According to this illuminating PBS Space Time video, the collapse of massive stars into neutron remnants may further collapse into quarks, Strange quarks particularly are described. According to the video's host, a square centimeter of neutronium weighs about a billion tons and conditions at the core of certain collapsed quark stars might even resemble the condition of the universe before the Big Bang. The video also suggests that nova remnant 1987A may be evidence of a quark star.

I just saw this video not too long ago too. Pretty interesting huh?

Yes, very interesting indeed. I try to learn something new every day. I hear it keeps you young...although my mirror vigorously disagrees.

Are they fairly accurate?

 

 

I have fact checked a couple of them they were spot on. He is reporting, often anyway, on cutting edge stuff and he manages to explain it in a reasonably easy way to understand. There are a hand full of You tube channels that I have found that represent science rather well..

I seem to recall similar research in the past along these lines. It was several years ago though so can't recall too much about it. It is also why this post doesn't surprise me. As it has been suggested in a similar manner before.

 

Here is an arxiv file on the subject.
