Dropping something the mass of a tennis ball into this pulsar(assuming 2 solar masses for it) would generate approximately the same amount of energy upon impact

Dropping something the mass of a tennis ball into this pulsar(assuming 2 solar masses for it) would generate approximately the same amount of energy upon impact as that of 12 atomic bombs like the one tested in New Mexico, and it would reach the surface at 60% the speed of light...relativistic effects aside
- saalweachter 13y agoWhich is to say: the escape velocity is 60% of the speed of light! So even starting from 24% of the speed of light at the equator you need to go 10,000x faster than on Earth to escape.
