Neutron Star

12 minLarry Niven

What's it about

How would you survive a trip to an object so dense its gravity would tear you apart? Discover the secrets of a star where a single spoonful of matter weighs a billion tons, and learn how one man outsmarted physics itself to escape the deadliest force in the universe. Join Beowulf Shaeffer on a terrifying mission to the heart of a neutron star. You'll explore the extreme physics of tidal forces, gravitational fields, and relativistic effects. Uncover the ingenious, counterintuitive solution that allowed him to survive an environment that crushes spaceships and defies all known laws of survival.

Meet the author
