Good to be back.
Neutron star collapsed core star 'supernova'.
fusion core star out, no heat pressure counterbalance gravity.
core star collapses enormous density.
1,500,000 km diameter collapse 30 km diameter sphere.
Volumetric compression 125,000,000,000,000 to 1.
neutron star density same atomic nucleus
700,000,000,000,000 Tons/cubic yard
Steel 7 tons/cubic yard
wristwatch made of neutron star weigh 12,500,000,000 Tonnes.
12,500,000,000 = 175,000 battleships
Try getting out of bed with that on your arm

Not necessarialy, It would not have enough mass to create a significant gravitational field, but it would certainly tear through your arm, bed, floor, foundation, and a few hundred feet of bedrock
I have teh ub3r 1337 question:
Why does toast always fall butter side down?
NO QUOTING MYTHBUSTERS!

Because the butter is so much denser than the other side of the toast.cowami wrote:

And supercompressed matter would be hotter than the core of the sun, so get the Aloe Vera
And yes, the butter shifts the center of gravity slightly towards the buttered side, which would cause it to land face down on a long-ish fall (if it had time to turn)

Well, this is the part where I become a jackass and quote Mythbusters.
They tested it with 30 pieces of toast, dropped off the side of a building
50% butter side up, 50% butter side down. Butter has no bearing on which side falls up or down.
Man, I'm an asshole today.

Well, if the plate slides off the table, it will rotate due the the fact that one side fell first, and will likely land face down

It actually depends on how the toast is dropped as well as the height from which it's dropped - if one simulates the conditions under which toast usually falls on the ground (i.e. by being knocked off a work-top or table) it has been shown that likely hood of landing butter-side-down varies according to the height of the surface from which it was knocked - and, coincidentally, the 'standard' height for tables and work-tops just happens to be within the zone of maximum-likelyhood for it landing butter-side-down. This was reported in New Scientist, IIRC, about 5 years ago (well before Mythbusters supposedly busted the myth).cowami wrote:
