Neutron Stars Just Keep Getting Weirder

The video explores the concept of blitzars, a hypothetical phenomenon involving neutron stars. It explains how neutron stars form, their properties, and their potential to emit radio waves. The video discusses supramassive rotating neutron stars, which might collapse into black holes, releasing a blitzar. It also connects blitzars to fast radio bursts (FRBs), a mysterious astronomical phenomenon. While there's no concrete evidence for blitzars, they could explain some FRBs, offering a non-alien explanation for these signals.
