But the story doesn’t end there. A neutron star is a cosmic wonder of compression. Take a teaspoon of this matter, and it would weigh a billion tons on Earth.

The forces of gravity and pressure push the star to an unimaginable limit. Yet, despite this, the neutron star doesn’t collapse further—until a crucial point. If enough mass is added, even quantum
