What would one even look like? Would it look like a gas giant that's glowing red, along with swirls of gas in its atmosphere like Jupiter? Or would it resemble a star and have a fiery surface like the sun? I prefer to imagine them as glowing gas giants but I don't know how realistic that is.

Gas giants in general are fascinating to me as well, I really hope we send a probe into one of the gas giants with a camera before I die. I'd absolutely love to see what it looks like inside a gas giants atmosphere before the probe gets crushed by the increasing pressure as it descends.

It's amazing what a really big boom can do. We can't even fathom the bigness of that kind of boom. To get a star remnant rotating faster than the human eye can detect is just... mind boggling.

You’ll definitely find video gamers who claim to be able to see that temporal resolution, of course.

If your monitor isn't clocking 1000 Hz are you really a gamer?!?!

Your username is intriguing. Have you tried it? Is it any good?

Also, neutron stars are awesome. Densities on the order of "Mount Everests per teaspoon"? Almost unimaginable.

Almost? 😂

Far as my username goes, much like interacting with me, I don't recommend it! lol
