Quark stars? Are there string stars -- as in string theory -- so dense that the quarks break down into strings?

Intense flashes of gamma rays in far-off galaxies might be produced by a bizarre kind of star, consisting of phenomenally dense material in which the particles that make up atomic nuclei have fallen apart. Fallen apart, or squooshed?

Lol, I was wondering about something similar to that; i.e., how much does a can of Campbell's Quark Soup weigh?

Quark Soup?
Isn't that what McNabb's mother makes for the Eagles?

No and no, but my wife makes it and I have cosmic flashes every time.

Not a physicist, so I am waiting to be slapped down by someone who is but... I believe that quarks are not composed of strings according to string theory, but rather that quarks ARE strings. That is, the various quark flavors are different vibrational modes of a string. Electrons, neutrinos, and other leptons would be other vibrational modes of the string.

Wouldn't a Quark Star be an actor that was in the show 'Quark'?
A very funny sitcom about an interstellar garbage scow.

Ping the list??? Arrrggghhh. This is interesting, but not earth-shaking. We already have a big bang thread going this morning, and it drives everyone crazy to have multiple threads going. I'm gonna wait before pinging the list.

And for some of us it's just a short putt.

An argument for a Science Forum. With keyword searches, you can find all the science threads you want. My personal preference is to keep these theads where they are.
