Video: Two Neutron Stars collide and form a Black Hole

[Times Roman]

initial 10 second commercial
the video can be a little "quirky" so please be patient.

this is a computer generated presentation created by a massive supercomputer

the interesting thing is that as the two neutron stars get closer, one of the stars seems to "reach out" to the other, and draws it into it's embrace.

The Next video is about a magnatar, a super dense star remnant, that is the most highly magnetic object in the universe.

coolest object thought to exist is a quark star.... so dense the neutrons break down into quarks... 1 step above black hole


Most people don't know that under certain circumstances, a star our sun's size could go supernova... (though you need a companion star)

quark stars are theoretical.

in order for a quark star to exist, there needs to be another (yet unidentified) force stronger than the strong force.

I have thought of this over the years, much more so than I care to admit.

I believe there could be a fifth force beyond the known four (gravity, electromagnetic, strong and weak), and a quark stark would prove my point.

good point!

Can you imagine a star made of entriely of quarks.... it would be the only place where free quarks could actually exist!

IT is theorized that the core of neutron stars are actually quark degenerate matter already.
The black hole may actually be preon degenerate matter (preons make up quarks in preon models pf particle physics)

some very basic tidal forces at work there. Just like our daily tides on Earth...but on a massive scale!

so you are saying, more or less, there has to be a 5th force we have not found yet, much stronger than the strong force?
