What is your #1 scientific mindfuck, Veeky Forums? The one that gives you an exestensial crisis or just makes your mind go fucky.
Mine would be
>The fastest-spinning neutron star known is PSR J1748-2446ad, rotating at a rate of 716 times a second or 43,000 revolutions per minute, giving a linear speed at the surface on the order of 0.24 c (i.e. nearly a quarter the speed of light).
>0.24 c
Neutron stars in general.
Cooler than black holes desu.
>A piece of matter from a neutron star would fall straight to the center of the Earth as if Earth were made up of a near vacuum.
And then it would pop back out again and oscillate for a bit.
String theory in general.
This. Neutron Stars and Magnetars are mind boggling.
What's so mindfucking about neutron stars? They're literally no weirder than atomic nuclei. Things like black holes, """dark energy""", false vacuum are way more mind boggling.
Wait till you get up to speed with Polchinski. Now that's what i call mindfuck. But a beautiful one
>what's so special about about x lol
>y and z are like so much cooler lmao
>ywn know what's inside a black hole
Yes, that's essentially what I wrote, why are you quoting it?
