You would not even get as far as eating it. A teaspoon of neutron star would weigh roughly 2.3 billion metric tons, enough to have a noticeable gravitational pull at close range. By the time you got within arm's length of it, you would be subjected to gravity 40 times that of Earth. At a distance of 1 inch, any part of your body would be subjected to a force 24,000 times that of Earth's gravity. In other words, it would kill you before you could even get it in your mouth.

What is a supernova What is a neutron star?

The name is a bit of a give away really. A neutron star is a lump of matter composed entirely of neutrons, thus containing a large mass (typically between 1.4 and 3.2 solar masses in a very small volume. This matter is so dense that typically one teaspoon of neutron star (5 ml) would have a mass of about 5 and a half billion tons.


How heavy is a pin head size neutron star?

It would not exist. A neutron star is what it is by virtue of the mass of the whole star. Extracting just a pinhead would revert that matter back to normal matter. For the sake of density - as weight has nothing to do with matter outside of a gravitational body. The denisty of a pinhead of neutron star would be the equivalant of about 100 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza


What would happen if one were to add a few protons to a neutron star would it become some sort of highly concentrated element?

A neutron star already does contain a few stray protons and electrons, but that does not make it a new element. A true atomic nucleus is bound together by the strong nuclear force. A neutron star is held together by gravity and is composed of neutron degenerate matter.


The density of a neutron star is?

The neutron star's density varies from below 1×109 kg/m3 in the crust increasing with depth to above 6×1017 or 8×1017 kg/m3 deeper insideThis density is approximately equivalent to the mass of the entire human population compressed into the size of a sugar cube.


How old would you be on Pluto and i am seven?

You would be seven, no matter where you happen to be.

How heavy is a teaspoon of a neutron star?

A teaspoon of material from a neutron star would weigh about 6 billion tons.


What would happen if a teaspoon of neutron star material were to come into contact with Earth?

If a teaspoon of neutron star material were to come into contact with Earth, it would release an immense amount of energy, potentially causing catastrophic damage. The extreme density and gravitational pull of neutron star material would likely result in a powerful explosion upon impact, leading to widespread destruction in the surrounding area.


A very small dense star It forms after a huge massive star explodes and then collapses A teaspoon of it matter would weigh millions of tons?

The description matches that of a neutron star, which is formed after a supernova explosion of a massive star. Neutron stars are incredibly dense, with matter packed tightly together. Due to their high gravitational pull, a small amount of neutron star material would have an extremely high mass.


What is a neutron star left after a supernova explosion?

The name is a bit of a give away really. A neutron star is a lump of matter composed entirely of neutrons, thus containing a large mass (typically between 1.4 and 3.2 solar masses in a very small volume. This matter is so dense that typically one teaspoon of neutron star (5 ml) would have a mass of about 5 and a half billion tons.


What would happen to a neutron star with an accretion disk orbiting in a direction opposite to the neutron star's spin?

The neutron star so affected wouldn't really notice. The mass of the neutron star is huge compared to that of the material in the accretion disk. And that matter, when it falls in, wouldn't really "slow" the spin of the star much unless there was a gigantic quantity of matter falling in and/or it acted over a very long period.


A teaspoon of this shrunken star weighs as much as a car?

A teaspoon of a neutron star would weigh as much as a car due to its incredibly high density. Neutron stars are formed when the core of a massive star collapses under its own gravity during a supernova explosion, packing an immense amount of mass into a small volume. This results in a teaspoon of neutron star material being incredibly dense and heavy.


What would happen if a neutron star collided with earth?

It is extremely unlikely that a neutron star (or any star or planet) will collide with the Earth, so this is not something that you need to worry about, however, if a neutron star were to collide with the Earth, the Earth would be captured by the intense gravitational field of the neutron star, and would be absorbed by the star. Under sufficient pressure, electrons and protons will merge to form neutrons, and so the atomic matter of which the Earth is composed can be converted into pure neutrons.


At what state would matter be incompressible?

degenerate matter would be incompressible. This would not be ordinarily met with, but is considered to be the material of a neutron star. Where, upon the collapse of a giant star, the gravitational forces would collapse all the neutron matter to a solid. Fond subject of sci-fi writers, e.g. Larry Niven (I think) wrote a story with the title Neutron Star, which will give a rough guide to the supposed physics.

What is a neutron star collision?

That would be a collission between two neutron stars. Since many stars are actually double stars, this can happen now and then.
