This may be the golden age of particle physics discoveries.

Never heard the term “quark matter”
Very difficult but interesting stuff.
Waiting for the physicists to weigh in... Love this stuff when explained to lay people like me.

When physicists celebrate, do they pop there quarks?
Okay I’ll stop now.
Thanks for posting... I love neutron stars! They have some weird and scary properties. Such as... If you fell off your barstool on a neutron star, you’d hit the floor at more than a million miles per hour... The magnetic fields are so great, they’d rip the iron right out of your blood (and body) from thousands of miles away... the energy density of the magnetic fields on some neutron stars is more than that of lead (so that THE EMPTY SPACE around the star weighs more than lead)... etc.
“They applied thermal perturbation theory to a high order, generalizing previous work applicable only at zero temperature.”
They’re completely full of it.
Neutron stars do not exist.
Gravitational waves do not exist.
The whole purpose of this exercise is to make grand claims in the pursuit of government grant money, which under inspection are revealed to be not only entirely hypothetical, but also do not conform to actual observations of reality.
