Neutron stars have surfaces so smooth that any feature taller than 5mm collapses under their own weight due to gravity 100 billion times stronger than Earth's, and their crust consists of iron nuclei locked in a rigid crystal lattice 10 billion times stronger than steel.

What If You Went Close The Neutron Star #neutronstar #universe #whatifuniverse #spaceAdded:
The tidal forces alone would tear you apart before you ever arrived.
But let's say you survived. Because the things waiting below are stranger than the fall.
The surface of a neutron star is perfectly smooth. Not smooth the way glass is smooth. Smooth the way physics demands.
Any surface feature taller than 5 mm collapses immediately under its own weight.
The gravity here is 100 billion times stronger than Earth's.
Even the smallest imperfection is crushed flat in an instant.
Beneath your feet, if you could stand, is a crust of iron nuclei locked into a rigid crystal lattice.
10 billion times stronger than steel.
