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.
When electromagnetic waves come in contact with an object, several things can happen depending on the properties of the object. The waves can be absorbed, reflected, transmitted, or refracted by the object. The interaction is determined by factors such as the material of the object, the frequency of the waves, and the angle of incidence.
If an electromagnetic wave never comes into contact with matter, it would continue to travel through space at the speed of light indefinitely, without losing energy or changing its properties. It would not be absorbed or reflected by any material since it never interacts with matter.
Light can be absorbed by the material it encounters, scattered in different directions, or transmitted through the material if it is transparent.
No, conduction can occur between objects without them needing to be in direct contact. Heat conduction can happen through a material medium or in the form of radiation, where energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
When light is transmitted, it can be absorbed by the material it passes through, scattered in different directions, or reflected off the surface of the material.
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.
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.
When U-238 absorbs a fast neutron it forms plutonium-239
Absorbing a neutron and emitting a gamma photon Th-232 become U-233.
Nothing would happen. It is not a material defect.Nothing would happen. It is not a material defect.Nothing would happen. It is not a material defect.Nothing would happen. It is not a material defect.
That would be a collission between two neutron stars. Since many stars are actually double stars, this can happen now and then.
The temperature of this material decrease.
the material looses its shape
It would be Deuterium, also called Heavy Hydrogen.
increase by 1, i.e. become carbon-13
Contact Sam Cruise happened in 1986.
This is called inverse beta decay and it forms a neutron. Normally a neutron will decay into a proton and electron, but the opposite will happen given enough energy. Coincidentally, this is how neutron stars are formed (the immense pressure from gravity overcomes the force separating protons and electrons.)
