“With all reserve we advance the view that a supernova represents the transition of an ordinary star into a neutron star consisting mainly of neutrons. Such a star may possess a very small radius and an extremely high density. As neutrons can be packed much more closely than ordinary nuclei and electrons, the gravitational packing energy in a cold neutron star may become very large, and under certain conditions may far exceed the ordinary nuclear packing fractions.” MayScienceCertainEnergyStarsViewsConditionsTheoryColdOrdinaryNuclearTransitionReservesExceedFractionsElectronsPackingDensityNucleusRadiusSupernovaNeutrons Author:Fritz Zwicky
