Can anything survive being swallowed by a neutron star's gravity well?

Jayvon Butt

Yes, it's very unlikely that anything could survive being swallowed by a neutron star's gravity well. Neutron stars are incredibly dense, which means they have an incredibly strong gravitational pull. In fact, their gravity is so strong that it can crush anything that gets too close.

So, if something were to be swallowed by a neutron star's gravity well, it would be compressed and crushed into a tiny, dense ball. This would happen even to objects that are normally very strong and durable, like rocks and metals.

However, there are some things that might be able to survive being swallowed by a neutron star's gravity well. For example, if something were to be swallowed by the gravity well very quickly, it might be able to pass through without being completely crushed. Additionally, if something were to be swallowed at an angle, it might be able to avoid being completely compressed.

But even in these cases, it's important to remember that being swallowed by a neutron star's gravity well is still very dangerous and would almost certainly result in the destruction of the object in question. So, it's best to stay far away from neutron stars and enjoy them from a safe distance.
