Bizarre Star Could Host a Neutron Star In Its Core

Posted by samzenpus on from the look-at-that dept.

ananyo writes "Astronomers say that they have discovered the first example of a long-sought cosmic oddity: a bloated, dying star with a surprise in its core — an ultradense neutron star. Such entities, known as Thorne-Zytkow objects, are theoretically possible but would alter scientists' understanding of how stars can be powered. Since Thorne-Zytkow objects were first proposed in 1975, researchers have occasionally offered up candidates, but none have been confirmed."

    Pretty frequently on slashdot i hear " would alter scientists' understanding of how", this makes me wonder, why the heck did they make people fail or pass in science exams if nothing seems to be a constant in such fields :p, shouldn't they instead program a full fledged theoritical environment where they define certain stuffs and ask you to figure things out and come to conclusion based on that? Nope, they would just ask to "to calculate" based on "whoever's theory" when it seems those morons always gets there understanding "alterred", i wonder if they can be sued for not knowing enough and convincing people that "this time we are sure it is THE thing".

    :p
