Re: Can Neutron Star Become Black Hole

Free - You provided: "... fall from just one meter high it would hit the surface of the neutron star at 2 thousand kilometers per second, or 4.3 million miles per hour." Since the speed of light is 670,616,629 mph, relativistic effects would be negligible.

I invite a mathematician to calculate the impact velocity from one kilometer above the surface.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
