Thank you for your response. I am not insisting my theory is correct. It is just my theory. I am always looking for new information which can tell me if my theory(s) are wrong.

I learn so much more from being wrong, than from being right.

Is is possible that a neutron star could undergo some other kind of transformation (other than the supernova phase) that we are not aware of yet that would allow this possibility?

I know that is kind of a self-supporting and unanswerable question, unless you can provide me with a good NO answer.

Which wouldn't bother me. Always happy to find the truth, whatever it may be.

None that I know, but I'm not an professional astronomer or astrophysicist. There are professionals in those areas on FR, I bet. I know of at least one particle physicist.

But what you're proposing would have to be one very tiny piece of a neutron star, from the gravitational effects alone. Venus is the same mass as the earth, so it would need one, too, the same with the other planets.

It's been proved pretty definitively that planetary formation occurs fine on its own without these gravitational catalysts. But there are always unknowns out there, like this flash.
