Numerical simulation of a black hole-neutron star merger.

The left side of the simulation shows the density profile (blue and green contours) with the magnetic-field lines (pink curves) penetrating the black hole, unbound matter (white color) and its velocity (green arrows). The right side displays the magnetic-field strength (magenta) and magnetic-field lines (light-blue curves).

The power of a black hole is impossible for me to grasp, but watching the ease with which it shreds a neutron star-- within just a few seconds!-- blows my mind. Incredible.

Under the immense gravity, what would be the perceived time from the refence point of the neutron star?

Do time vibrate as a gravity wave pass earth?
If you close to a collision of two black holes. Do time vibrate as the gravity wave pass.
Is there any phenomenon that create a gravity wave so that time vibrate as the gravity wave pass?

Is the component of the magnetic field that is parallel to the angular momentum vector of the black hole parallel or anti-parallel or can it be either. Do those vectors point in the same direction or opposite directions or either? Could you suggest any accessible reading that go over the basics of a black magnetic fields? Thanks.

What happens to the matter of the neutron star? It's now not in a very compact state anymore since the star has been ripped apart and therefore gravity is way less. Right? So does it reassembles back into "normal" matter?

I believe the time clock is shown for the observer's position. How far is the position of the observer from the black hole?

Matter bends spacetime, or is energy released (fast radio burst) when space time bends?
