If we teleport 1mm^3 of a neutron star outside it what hapens?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Teleporting a 1mm³ sample of a neutron star will result in the sample remaining as a dense neutron clump, known as neutronium, due to the extreme gravitational forces that stabilize its structure. However, if the sample is removed from the neutron star's gravitational influence, it will destabilize and likely convert into cosmic radiation, primarily neutrons, which may eventually decay into hydrogen. The discussion emphasizes the unique properties of neutronium and the implications of its instability outside the neutron star environment.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of neutron star composition and properties
  • Familiarity with nuclear physics and particle decay processes
  • Knowledge of gravitational forces and their effects on matter
  • Basic concepts of cosmic radiation and its components
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of neutronium and its stability under different conditions
  • Study the processes of neutron decay and the formation of hydrogen
  • Explore the effects of gravitational forces on matter at extreme densities
  • Investigate cosmic radiation and its implications in astrophysics
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and anyone interested in astrophysics, particularly those studying neutron stars and the behavior of matter under extreme conditions.

if we teleport a small amount of millimeter cube of a neutron star outside it, will it remain still as a very dense heavy neutron clump or will it revert back into its components (iron) or will the neutron destabilize and turn into cosmic radiation of neutrons which then turn back into hydrogen?
