Some facts about neutron stars:
-If a baseball sized piece of a neutron star was brought to earth and was dropped from someone's hand, it would fall through the entire earth and come out the other side.
-No one knows whats in the center of a neuron star. Some think it could be composed of "strange matter": unstable particles that under most conditions decay instantly.
-A neutron star can rotate hundreds of times per second. Some physicists believe that due to its high mass, a neuron star could theoretically warp space-time in such a way that it could be used as a time machine.
