There are no "atoms" in neutron stars. The density and temperature are so high that they are "crushed" and that the electrons and protons form neutrons. The result is tightly packed neutrons, hence the name.

I believe it is theorised that it might be possible to go even one step further to a "quark star" since neutrons are not elementary but made of quarks. No idea what a black hole might look like with no singularity...

Sure about that? So in 32bit Windows where we still have EDIT, do we also have QBASIC?

Who knows?

Can't imagine anyone here using 32bit Windows and limiting themselves to 4GB of RAM.

Are there even any cheap laptops sold with that little nowadays?
