Re: [math-fun] neutron stars are superconductive? superfluid?

And incidentally, neutrons by their decay emit neutrinos and by their synthesis also emit neutrinos (and/or anti-neutrinos) so the enormous energy loss attributed to emission of invisible neutrinos and/or antineutrinos could have been due to neutrino synthesis and/or its opposite. Both could be going on all the time in a young neutron star and could have absolutely nothing to do with anything being superfluid or superconductive. That fact makes me even more dubious those astronomers know what is going on. There's guessing, and there's knowing. -- Warren D.
