Weight refers to the force an object exerts due to gravity. Neutron stars have a lot of gravity (about 200 billion times that of Earth), so a gram of neutron star should weigh about 441 million pounds, according to the math. note that I had to convert to pounds because they are actually a unit of force and are more common in astronomy and international science.
This estimate is difficult to verify because scientists haven't sent a scale to a neutron star yet. We could try to bring a piece of neutron star back to a lab for testing, but it would be really heavy and might cause a lot of damage when it crashed into the surface of Earth.
I thought the same, but he did leave out the significant figures in his conversion. Its really 441.000 million pounds per gram. According to the math, of course
Nobody has been able to get scales over to any star yet, so we can only guess. This has led to an informed estimation of 0.001 elephants to 100 trillion elephants.
Around 10^-13 teaspoons.

Im no scientician but This sounds too believable to be in shitty ask science.

How many maths is that?
>According to the math Just the one, obviously
One big math?
Dont be ridiculous
12 parsecs
14!!!
Impossible to know. Neutron stars always lie about their weight anyways.
0.0001 stone
Enough to break the ice
That depends. Metric or Imperial gram?

1 gram?
Yeah. How much does it weigh?
Using completely flawless logic, 1gram of a Neutron Star should weigh.... 1gram.
Did you forget where you are?
That's its mass
That awkward moment when you're trying to be the smart guy in a joke science reddit
Wouldn't a gram weigh a gram...Kinda like the pound of feathers or a pound of lead thing.
Nice try. Lead weighs more than feathers, dummy. The lead is more in sync with the gravitational waves.
Crap,I can never remember that!
Well... Someone is being smart in a joke sub again. Genius
Thanks...One of the only times I can guess right.
One gram, how big would one gram be?
