Can the mass density of atom's nuclei match such kind of object ? On a scale of atom, this star and black hole what would be the mass density ?

  It's about nuclear density. Neutron stars are held up by neutron degeneracy pressure. Another fun fact is that the magnetic field energy density alone near the surface of a pulsar (1e12 gauss and up) is about that of lead. (~40 g/cm^3).

    What does that even mean in any sort of a human-relatable way? What would happen to your body in the presence of such a strong magnetic field?

      There's not really a way to convey it in human terms. It's as if the magnetic field flowing through your body had the same energy as if you ate a slug of mixed lead and anti-lead with the same volume as your body, and it was undergoing matter/antimatter annihilation while it was in your stomach.

      Atoms don’t work in that kind of a field, let alone molecules. Nothing wants to go across field lines, just along them.
