So if you consider a neutron star an atom with a crazy high atomic number and orbit another one close to it so that the sea of electrons can pass between them, would that be considered a chemical bond and a molecule as big as two mountains?

Neutron stars are made of neutrons though, to get an actual tom you need a proton and an ekectron, at least. Neutron can't hold an electron in orbit. Why don't we have proton and electron stars, btw?

@@enricofermi3471 The repulsion of protons and electrons to other protons and electrons is larger than the force applied by gravity. In order for two protons to stick together you need two neutrons. The reason why neutron stars are made of neutrons is because when you force electrons to crash into protons it creates more neutrons. This only happens when the atoms are so closely packed in that the electrons can't go anywhere except into the protons where they combine to form neutrons. In the center of a neutron star even the neutrons are merged into something called a quark/gluon plasma. The outter layers of a neutron star contain mostly free electrons and complete ionized atoms.

"less of the timey wimeyness distortions" Not that much less! A sufficiently dense neutron or quark star would let you see a blueshifted convex sky with sidereal time running in fast motion. Fast rotating neutron stars might have time doing even stranger things.

It’s not that you can only fuse up to iron, it’s that iron is the point where the fusion starts requiring more energy than it releases

Note that rotating Neutron stars don't always deform outwards. If they are compact enough, they may form a photon sphere. A region of space so deformed by gravity that centrifugal force inverts inside, and the star's surface is concave, while the sky is convex. A rapidly spinning star under such conditions will behave very, very strangely, with its spin actively pushing it inward instead of outward.

"I wonder what terminal velocity on that thing is like" Given that there's no dense atmosphere more than centimeters from the surface, very very high. If you meant escapes velocity, also very very high. Potentially approaching light speed.

Iron does fuse, but the energy released by the fusion of iron is less than that, which is present in any star, and only after a star goes super nova do we get heavier elements...

Yea I wanna hear more about neutron stars. How do all the protons in the star turn into neutrons? Do they just get bombarded with electrons? How efficient is this process and is the extra size of the neutron also responsible for the powerful bounce that happens in an exploding star? (and yea those aren't neutron star questions, but I still wanna hear more about neutron stars :P )

Radiation pressure is not strictly true alone either. Yes it is a factor but you also have just run of the mil pressure adding a regulatory effect too. If the reaction rate and compression increased eg because gravity was slightly dominant at a given time both of these will increase core temp also. That will increase the run of the mill thermal pressure exerted by the hotter denser plasma in the core too. Ultimately this is kinda how stars especially large ones remain so stable while the dominant process driving their core is constant if fusion accelerates it causes an expansion in volume and reduction in pressure reducing fusion rate. Also explains a lot why stable is a relative term for stars they all have cycles of oscillation as the forces nudge it towards a balancing balancing point but it oscillates around it.

i haven't watched the video yet, but the thumbnail/title kinda makes me think of neutron stars. this is a stretch, but could a neutron star be considered to be in some ways to essentially be one giant atom, just with gravity as its extra binding force to make it possible?

So wait a minute.. if fusion reactions require heat, pressure, and time.. does that mean that diamonds are fusion reactions?
@iannicolson
Ай бұрын
I don't think so as, when diamonds form, there is no change to either the atomic number or mass number of any involved nuclei. It's just various different types of carbon molecules getting packed so close together that they basically become one big carbon molecule. This is referred to as a covalent network. So, molecules are fusing with each other, not nuclei, so we wouldn't call it nuclear fusion, which is what is usually meant when referring to fusion reactions.
