RE: Super Cool Science S#!t #14 - Atoms the size of cities
It is incomprehensible for me to imagine anything having such density and gravity as a quark or neutron star..and yes, I always imagined them huge, not tiny. I'm learned now. So, question...how the heck does a magnetar come to be so magnetic? Thanks!
It's thought that the dynamo mechanism at the stars core before it collapses conserves energy as it shrinks, which serves to multiply the field exponentially
Got it! The road to becoming a pulsar. Fascinating stuff. Thank you!
