>The only way to stop strange matter is by sending it into a black hole. +1 more reason for Black Hole Civilizations!

Aaron Angert

Brittany B.

Another great video! I studied physics in university and I love your space & physics videos. You provide such an accessible explanation for the weirdest parts of reality. Keep up the awesome work ❤️

Fascinating, although it seems quite early in terms of research considering we have absolutely no way to replicate the conditions inside a neutron star.

While I always am interested and more or less informed about such topics strange matter was something completely new to me. Thank you for this very interesting video!

Stijn Verwimp

Material for horror stories. They should call it the Midas particle. Are you guys n gals working on a political or socioeconomic video again? :)

The idea that dark matter might be strange matter is amazing and terrifying.

Bradley Francis

I can never get enough of these you need to-do a full length one with more-ish.. explanations maybe 40-60 the further you guys dig the more you blow my mind

Neutron stars are the strangest and densest things that are not black holes. And they are born in a supernova explosion, dying in a kilo nova explosion. If they are more dense, they will become a blackhole
