What happens when the core of a neutron star is crushed so hard that the quarks inside neutrons, particles confined since microseconds after the Big Bang, finally break free?
In this video, we explore one of the most extraordinary unsolved questions in physics: the transition from ordinary nuclear matter to deconfined quark matter deep inside neutron star cores.

Where do you get your ideas from?
It has been more than a year since I have been exploring the nature of gravity as the most fundamental force and not merely space geometry with AI, even though the AI had the tendency to compare or defend GR but we finally could get some progress to develop our own where neutron stars are the best visible candidates to explain what maybe happening inside of blackholes and that black holes are not infinite curvature of space time and there is no singularity but extreme gravity and blackholes are dynamic and may possess enough pressure under the gravity to trigger matter phase transition and that blackholes may have quantum core where the condition is close to the condition of big bang and that blackholes are where at some point in universe's evolution and life span, could cause quantum bounce back!
