The extreme gravitational field of the neutron star...an object with typically 4 to 8 times the mass of our sun, packed into a diameter of about eight miles...pulls mass off of any close companion star, which spirals into the neutron star. If the companion star is close enough, it may over time totally disintegrate and be consumed by the neutron star, which itself may become massive enough to finally become a stellar "black hole", an object whose surface escape velocity would be greater than the speed of light, so that nothing, not even light, can escape beyond its "event horizon".

How do you tie a shoelace in a star?

To tie a shoelace in a star, start by creating a small loop with one end of the lace and hold it at the intersection of the laces. Then, wrap the other end of the lace around the loop to create a star shape, and tuck it under the loop to secure the knot. Finally, tighten the knot and adjust the loops to form a star shape.


How many times can your intestines wrap around the earth?

It is estimated that the total length of the intestines in an average adult is around 25 feet. The circumference of the Earth at the equator is about 24,901 miles. Therefore, the intestines could wrap around the Earth 0.0012 times.

How many times can you wrap the Nerves from a body around the earth?

The average length of human nerves is estimated to be about 80,000 kilometers when combined. The circumference of the Earth is approximately 40,075 kilometers. Therefore, if you were to wrap the nerves around the Earth, you could do so about two times, as 80,000 kilometers divided by 40,075 kilometers equals roughly 2. The actual number could vary based on individual nerve lengths and types.


How many times would paper be able to go all the way around earth?

Assuming the paper is 0.1 mm thick, it would take 1000 sheets to make a 100 mm (1 cm) stack. To calculate how many times this stack would wrap around the Earth's circumference of about 40,075 km, divide 40,075,000 m by 0.1 m (the combined thickness of all 1000 sheets), which gives 400,750,000. So you would need 400,750,000 sheets of paper to wrap around the Earth once.
