What If a Magnetar Entered Our Solar System? #Shorts

This is the most powerful object in the Universe. The biggest spinning magnet to ever exist.
It's the cosmic equivalent of a great white shark. But it wouldn't eat you. It would just turn all your atoms to dust... If you thought neutron stars were big and scary, well, you haven't heard of their more powerful stellar cousins yet. Like neutron stars, magnetars are leftovers from supernova explosions.

What If is a mini-documentary web series that takes you on an epic journey through hypothetical worlds and possibilities. Join us on an imaginary adventure through time, space and chance while we (hopefully) boil down complex subjects in a fun and entertaining way.

"This is the most powerful object in the universe"

A black hole, Kilonova and a gamma ray burst: 🤨

[Toineie]

"Most powerful object in the Universe"

Black Hole: "Hold my gravity."

"Did you thought neutron stars are big and scary?" No they are small and scary

[Jack-mbjx]

If it entered our Solar System it would destroy everything, you'd be literally ripped apart before you even realized what was happening most likely, so it'd be painless.

We got a magnetar close to our planet over here in the andromeda galaxy, oh and hello to those of you staying in the milky way 👋

[RaeezTheDeadPoet]

It would take all the metal from our planet 😭

[christopherroberts]

So if Superman was near this star he would be invincible.

[CtWolffe]

now im no scientist, but that thing wouldn’t take long to kill us

[TheWatermelonSquad]

Pulsars and Magnetars are neutron stars

[LiamRoddis-fc]

Magnetar sounds like it should be a fire type Pokémon, a good one aswell.

[JayLKing]

Is there a distance at which a planet could orbit a magnetar without being torn apart, but still be warm enough to sustain life?

[Thatguy]

I like the part when he showed it in our solar system.

[Ingenuine-Sky]

Im waiting for that space cold edit about this

[jbragg]

So y'all saying a black hole could oust a magnetar? That would be interesting to see for sure

[keithmerrell]

What if an asteroid hit a huge plane before it hit earth. What kind, if any, differences would it make?

[leroy.jackson.]

Neutron stars are stillborn black holes, or in other words naked singularity s.

[moltpikachu]

i want to know what would we look like if we had a Magnetar insaid of a sun

[WantingVideosTHEROOKIE]

tell me what is there in the space that will not try to kill me if they get a chance

[brettjessop-pcrv]

It goes to show just how much more there must be to a star to become a black hole and the weight it must have to be over, does anyone know what is the mass needed for a star to reach the point where it doesn’t go supernova but collapses overcomes even time itself to an extent

[ioanbota]

Realy I like this video its so so interestyng
