Neutronium is the fictional material collected from the heart of
collapsed Neutron Stars in Star Trek. But it is based on a real life
thing, the hypothetical matter state of an all Neutron solid. Also the collapsed heart of a supermassive star. But if that is the case, then
there is a glaring issue with it, which I'll look at in this video.

I wasn't aware they utilized such terminology in star trek. I assume
it's a sort of 'metal' used in the construction of something. How cute, but
a typical hand-wavy sci-fi concept.

Neutron stars are remnants of supergiant stellar cores. The exotic state
of matter, in a stellar remnant, adopts its properties due to the
intense gravitational forces at work.

This is tantamount to water at the bottom of the deep ocean. Take a
bottle of deep ocean water and dump it on the surface of the ocean, it
won't stay compressed.

If one had a method of removing an amount of matter from a stellar
remnant, the lack of intense gravitational forces acting on the sample
would allow it to revert, albeit violently, to its natural
state. Explosive decompression.

I wouldn't want to be in the room.

I don?t think the Earth?s oceans are deep enough for anything
interesting to happen to the water in the deepest parts, like changing
into a different phase.

Someplace like Europa or such, with underground oceans that may be
dozens or even hundreds of kilometres deep ... that?s a different
story. I think.

If it were of more than microscopic size, I?m guessing it might be
advisable not to be anywhere on the same planet ...

I was talking about pressure only.

Doubt europa would have deep oceans. I'd like to know for sure.

Fair.

Occam?s Razor: nothing else can (easily) explain the evidence:

? Discontinuities in the pattern of cracks in the surface ice,
indicating that portions of that surface have moved relative to
each other in the past, often by quite large distances, pointing to
the underlying layers not being solid
? Magnetic field patterns pointing to a liquid interior with
high salinity

We see similar things with Enceladus around Saturn.

Actually, I think at least two others? of Jupiter?s big moons show
signs of underground oceans, albeit not with the planetwide extent of
Europa.

?Which effectively means ?all of them, except the volcanic one?.

I'd have to do more reading on the matter. I tend to focus more on
cosmology.
