Once again, a very compelling and informative presentation. However, a bit of editing work could still be done to ensure correct pronunciation of personal names, etc. It seems there has been some improvement in that respect. Please continue. :)

Neutron stars will shed angular momentum by forming BiPolar jets, releasing any excess angular momentum through it's magnetic field lines, out of the system to prevent the stellar remnant from desroying itself.

Love to see it much closer with a space probe. That would be a really thrilling experience

How much would one weigh on one of these? <br><br>I’m guessing at some point the angular momentum could counteract the gravity and give a normal (1)G force.
