What is gravity

“What is gravity”

No, “What is gravity, Alex.”

There are some big numbers in astronomy.

And we only know a tiny fraction of what is out there.

So what is the puny human going to do about it? The Universe will do what it does. We’re just dust in the wind.

“What is gravity?” That reminds me of an ancient skit by Edgar Bergen with one of his “dummies” Mortimer Snerd. Bergen sez to Mort, “You know what gravity is, don’t you?” To which Snerd replies, “Yeah! That’s what ya put on mashed potatoes, ain’t it?!” Of course it’s lame in today’s world, but to a 12 year old in the early 1950s; that was funny.

teetering on the edge of existence

How do they know this when they don't even know where the edge is?

"approaching the theoretical maximum mass possible for a neutron star',

At the risk of sounding negative, are they absolutely positive?

...the most massive star to date...

I initially thought this was a Rosie O'Donnell thread.

The theoretical edge of size for a neutron star.
They can only get so big then “BOOM” & collapse.
