Nuclear Pasta May Be the Strongest Material Ever - SciShow News

The video discusses nuclear pasta, a material found in neutron stars, and its potential as the strongest material in the universe. Simulations show its resilience under strain, which could help understand neutron star behavior. Additionally, new observations of black holes reveal matter falling at unusual angles and speeds, suggesting tilted accretion disks. These findings advance our understanding of both neutron stars and black holes.

What is the primary composition of neutron stars?

• Photons

• Neutrons

• Protons

• Electrons

What are the technical terms used to describe the structures formed by nuclear pasta?

• Ravioli and Tortellini

• Spaghetti and Lasagna

• Fusilli and Penne

• Macaroni and Rigatoni

What did the supercomputer simulations reveal about nuclear pasta?

• It is made of protons

• It is potentially the strongest material in the universe

• It cannot withstand any strain

• It is weaker than expected

What unusual observation was made about matter falling into a black hole?

• It was not emitting any X-rays

• It was spiraling inward as usual

• It was moving at 30% the speed of light

• It was moving slower than expected

What phenomenon explains the direct fall of matter into a black hole?

• Event horizon expansion

• Hawking radiation

• Chaotic accretion

• Gravitational lensing
