Is the Size of Neutron Stars A Lie, Or Only A FRIB?

The video explores the use of particle accelerators and telescopes to study objects from tiny particles to galaxies. It highlights the role of particle accelerators in understanding the universe, focusing on a study of lead molecules that revealed a thicker neutron skin than expected. This finding has implications for the size and properties of neutron stars. The video also discusses the new F rib particle accelerator and its potential to enhance research by reducing measurement uncertainties.
