Anura Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 :doh:Nuetron stars, I believe, are like stars like our sun in which the sub-atoimic particle in which it is comprized of are not in a lump but flying around in all directions. Does that then imply that there is lots of empty space in the heart of star or nuetron star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 "Empty" is a much harder word to define than one might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The electrons were shoved into the neucleus, so there is no distance between nuclei. That is why neutron stars are so dense, and everything is staying put. Not lots of empty space in the heart of a "nuetron" star, hahahahaha. I think there was an episode of The Universe that stated that neutron stars were in a strange liquid state. Can you imagine what a neutron star would look like up close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
