Friends of Steemit! They discover a strange material that hides in the depths of the Cosmo in the form of spaghetti, gnocchi or lasagna.

What is Nuclear Pasta?

A team of scientists released a study through the magazine Physical Review Letters, according to data provided there is a kind of material that has been released with the name of nuclear paste that hides in the depths of the cosmos and takes shape of spaghetti, ñoqui or lasagna which is considered as the strongest that exists in the universe and has a unique structure, this material would appear after the explosion of a star, which is known as SUPERNOVA.

The force of the paste resulting from the supernova in the neutron star comes from the enormous density of the material that remains. And that star has a compact mass of a much larger star in a core of only about 20 kilometers.

Once the phenomenon occurs, it remains in the place where once had a star, a concentration of neutrons, which rises a temperature and a gravity, a fact that is known as a neutron star.

Neutron stars are called those that arise when stars reach a certain age, explode and collapse leaving a remnant rich in neutrons compressed at extreme pressures by powerful gravitational forces, resulting in materials with strange properties.

Under the crust, protons and neutrons are assembled in shapes that resemble types of pasta such as "lasagna" or "spaghetti.
