    Quick heads-up: Between <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEyS7-OK57I&amp;t=1635">27:15</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEyS7-OK57I&amp;t=1655">27:35</a> there’s a fast-flashing pulsar animation. If you&apos;re sensitive to flashing lights, you might want to skip that part.

    I was doing some housecleaning and I wanted to organize all my neutrons in neat stacks. This came in just in time.

    &quot;A neutron walked into a bar and asked &apos;How much for a drink?&apos; The bartender said, &apos;For you, there&apos;s no charge.&apos;&quot;

    I love how pathetically weak gravity is. Everyone is familiar with it, and most people think it&apos;s fairly strong, but that&apos;s only because there&apos;s an entire planet pulling on them.

    &quot;The incredible thing about our universe is that, in a narrow window between too little and too much something remarkable happens, stars explode, elements scatter and planets and people can form &quot;

    <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEyS7-OK57I&amp;t=333">5:33</a> it call a &quot;weak&quot; force because there is a &quot;strong&quot; force that x1000 time stronger which hold the nucleus itself together. It is insane to think about the potential power in the quantum world.

    My jaw dropped at 230N of proton - proton repulsion. I hope you will keep finding joy in making videos. Your deeper, but still accessible level of dive in physics is a gem. Especially when we have more and more &nbsp;channels which shift to shallow, sensational TV-like quality.

    My dumb brain is telling me that you can stack neutrons until the gravity makes it collapse into a neuron star. And continue to stack neutrons until the increasing neutron mass and gravity turns the neutron star into a black hole 💀

    no i’ve never wondered what happened if i built an object made entirely of neutrons, but here we are at 4 in the morning

    The real question is can you build a Jimmy out of Neutrons
