- db48x 8y agoIt would start out under the pressure of all that gravity, and then at the instant of the teleportation the gravity would be gone. With no external force holding it together it would expand outward very rapidly.

Only it would release a spectacular amount of energy due to how much it was compressed before. How much energy? We can make a crude estimation: a neutron star has a gravitational binding energy in the order of magnitude of a whopping 10 to the 31 megatons of TNT, and a radius of about 10km. Make a direct proportion to your desired amount of pasta.

- InclinedPlane 8y agoA significant amount of Earth is already made out of neutron star debris. Outside of the extremely high pressure environment it decays to ordinary atomic matter.
