There were a couple of important things that were missed in this video. Approaching that material through water would also be a bad idea. The overwhelming pressure would crush your finger. Also, the water surrounding the material would become so pressurized that a layer of super hot ice would form around the material. There would be no practical way to remove this ice. Dropping neutron star material would not cause it to settle at the core on the first pass. In fact, it would oscillate about the core several times before coming to a stop at the center of the planet.
I read a book, don't remember the name, about a collision between oscillating neutron "bullet and another object with Earth's core. Meanwhile the aliens that set this up were separating hydrogen from water into resevoirs along undersea fault lines to effectively tear Earth apart. A separate alien race saved a small quantity of humanity for preservation and vengeance. Can't remember the author either.
Yeah so this is fake, none of that would happen lol

"Buoyancy is independent of the gravitational factor." Can't say I ever remembered learning that. Thank you.
Buoyancy just means that a less dense material will be displaced upward by a more dense material. But there needs to be at least some gravity for there to be an "up," so you do need gravity in order to easily see the effect.
" gravity ' does not exist , it's only a theory

Awesome! An actual original KZhead video concept. That is more difficult to find than it is to touch a neutron star. Great work sir.
Neutrons are not visible and you can't see them because neutrons are charged particles that generate power or something else but definitely neutrons are not visible because first we can't see them and second its hidden in electric stuff like batteries and etc
Seen the exact some setup years ago in a book called “what if?” The only thing original about this is that it’s a video. Otherwise there’s an incriminating amount of similarities to the book.

@@Kriss-ys5pl i think he meant if it was real, then he would've made the smallest and deepest hole.
Smallest? By what metric? Deepest? Not really. We've already dug deep down enough that the earth behaved closer to a fluid/plastic, and that was achieved with engineering techniques to prevent collapses. Given there was no real attempt at preventing collapse, the hole would just sew itself shut after some depth, but the neutron mass would just keep dropping, swimming through the earth.
@@zenthr still the deepest. Idk abt smallest tho

No way! how do you make the magnet that dense?? its so cool, This is too Cool Man, Thank you so much for your videos and risking your life to teach us!
The degenerate neutron gas in a neutron star is only held together so dense by gravity. If you ever somehow managed to pull away a chunk of the neutron star matter, there would be nothing left to keep the neutrons in that chunk together and they would just disperse immediately, it would be an explosion literally.

I get it, he's done some unbelievable stuff before, but c'mon… first, he calls it a "magic" cube. Second, the water would have been curved at some point as the cube would be pulling in the corners.
if you had a drop of neutron star , it instantly after being removed from the intense gravity, would "unfold/uncompress" back into normal matter , becoming stable and unstable heavy elements , heavier than iron [ which is the maximum that can form in stars , without supernova] mostly uranium, thorium , gold, lead , platinium , iridium, ect, the usual things you find in asteroids and places where they have crashed
