My favorite white dwarf is Grumpy, but Doc and Sneezy are cool too.!

My question is… What happens if one of the white dwarfs is a magnetar? <br><br>Magnetars form under much higher heat with much faster spin which evenly emulsifies the core of the white dwarf star… Afterwards because of Lenz’s law, it slows down. <br><br>Do you think the white dwarf merger results in another magnetar?

if a tea spoon of white dwarf matter landed on Earth, would it suck the whole planet in?
