I don’t get the connection with “fuzzball?”

“And probably smelled like black holes, too”
I’ll take your word on that.

Meh, “string theory” is not a theory, or even a valid hypothesis, so who cares?
However, black holes are still a problem for physicists. Logically, you can have black holes, or you can have the Big Bang, but you can’t have both, or at least you can’t if you consistently apply your scientific methodology without engaging in special pleading and the like.

Lol. The battle of the cosmological theories without one scrap of evidence for any of them. What if the universe is riding on the backs of elephants atop a tortoise?
You want to get the astrophysicists pants in a wad? Mention the Electric Universe. Heads explode at the mere mention.
Actually astrophysics has become indistinguishable from theology. Very ironic

That’s ridiculous. It’s all tortoises, no elephants.

They haven’t changed the name to “holes of color” yet?

"[I]n a neutron star, atomic camaraderie breaks down and dissolves, leaving behind just neutrons crammed together as tightly as possible."Wouldn't gravity then fuse the neutrons, probably into some sort of undifferentiated energy or something unknown?
