Life on the surface of a neutron star would be unlike anything we have ever seen. The creatures would certainly be flat and would slither about like slugs.

I don't think any BIOLOGICAL life forms that can live there. But who's to say there isn't some other life form mad of something other than organic material out the that can withstand the gravity and heat.

If the neutron famous individual replaced right into a pulsar the place its radiation replaced into being shot harmlessly out into area and not at a planet close to it, then, it would be possible. yet some places are lots extra possibly to assist existence than others. and observing neutron stars isn't nicely suited. We do understand of extremophiles that exist here in the international. we will not understand basically how weird and wonderful existence available can get till we start to locate different worlds. If existence exists on a international orbiting a neutron famous individual, for one, it in all possibility would be some existence type we've under no circumstances even imagined. something proof against severe tiers of radiation - perhaps even utilising it as an capability source. And the incredibly international itself would be a moon orbiting a gasoline substantial 1000's of tens of millions of miles faraway from the be certain famous individual. it would additionally be a water international with a thick ice sheet such as Europa the place existence would desire to proceed to exist under the ice and be rather secure from the radiation.

The problem with that is, the gravity on the surface of a neutron star is so dense that no known material can withstand it, aside from neutronium which is what neutron stars are made of in the first place. If you tried to touch a neutron star, it would literally rip your atoms to pieces and turn you into a small clump of neutrons. Even if your hand was made of titanium.

If you were transported to the surface of a neutron star you would squeeze down to a point smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.

Well, they'd certainly have a pretty boring existence...the whole of the star is pretty much identical. And they'd have pretty strong shields against radiation...and there wouldn't me much liquid to do any slithering.

DO You know what a star is?
Anything living on a star, would be toast!
