	Neutron stars are formed under collapse. Electrons and protons merge..etc..etc.. So a neutron star is not a NEUTRON star, as it emits photons. Where do these photons/electrons, come from within a neutron star? By defintion, a neutron star is...... neutral electromagnative? ____________

	Well, neutrons are neutral but have a small magnetic field. Put billions of them aligned together and you have a big magnet. As it rotates, it emits EM waves, that we detect. This is what I remember. Tullio ____________

	The magnetic field is caused by neutrons? Neutron = neutral, or i'll engage in self... Neutron star = a star that has reduced itself beyond aoms, and compressed them to neutrons. Novae is the reaction of that. Light, heat, IRW, etc. In essence, a neutral body. But it's spitting off visible light, i.e. photons, electrons. Did they just materialize (forget the Tardis) out of ,not negatvive energy, neutral energy? ____________

	Neutrons are fermions, that is they have spin value of 1/2 in h/2pi units where h is the Planck constant. Think of them as rotating spheres, and they have a magnetic dipole moment.In the Standard Model they are made of three smaller particles, called quarks, which are electrically charged, but the total electric charge of a neutron is zero, while that of a proton is equal and opposite to that of an electron. What quarks are made of, God only knows. Tullio ____________

	Isn't this what the LHC trying to find out at least in part? ____________ To get back my youth I would do any thing in the world EXCEPT take Exercize,GET up early or be RESPECTABLE.

	Yes, but also particles predicted by supersymmetry. Tullio ____________
