In the laboratory it was possible to recreate the sound of the star.
What sound can we hear inside a neutron star?
It’s impossible to know, gravity would destroy you long before you can get close to it.
However, now, a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has managed to recreate the conditions to mimic its sound in the laboratory.
To do this, they created what they call “perfect fluid”, a liquid that flows with the least possible friction according to the laws of quantum mechanics.
Thus, they were able to hear how sound waves travel through this fluid, which is what they estimate to occur inside neutron stars and plasma from the earliest stages of the universe.
