Space Mystery: The Missing Neutron Galaxies of the Early Universe -A Galaxy Insight

Ultradense cosmic cannonballs used to tear around the universe, punching through regular galaxies like a bullet through candyfloss, going their own way and heaven help the heaven that got in their way - and scientists don't know where they are now.  Luckily this is cosmology, not cinema, or the answer would be "Right behind you!"

Because of the speed of light staring into space is essentially looking back in time, and scientists have seen ultra-intense galaxies zipping around the first five billion years of existence.  Similar in principle to the intense density of neutron stars ( a collapsed star with a core so dense that a single spoonful would weigh 200 billion pounds) these galaxies were a thousand times denser than regular star-scatterings, packing as much mass as the Milky Way into 0.1% of the volume and far before regular galaxies had time to form.

Scientists suspect that these objects collapsed directly from vast clouds of proto-star material, unlike regular galaxies which form by multiple mergers of smaller galaxies.  But more important than where they came from is finding out where they went.  Three hundred billion stars isn't the kind of thing you lose down the back of the sofa.

It's unlikely they merged with other galaxies, since they'd punch through regular star collections like an armor-piercing round with only minimal effects on themselves, and collision with another ultra-dense galaxy would only create an even bigger stupidly intense star selection.  Other processes which could hide them, such as building up a diffuse gas cloud or expanding due to stellar detonations, would seem to take longer than the universe has actually had so far.  Despite being awesome.

Space.  Every time we look there's something cooler.

While they would punch threw normal galaxies if it was near the center of galaxies with supermassive black holes some of them might have fallen prey. But it wouldn't count for all of them missing.

I would guess that the search for dark matter and energy (an exotic form of antimatter) is anticipated to be discovered by the new installed 1,5 Billion $ sensor recently installed on the ISS.
This instrument will shed some light on the 'antimatter galaxies' that formed after the big bang and that are inferred to pull apart the actual universe.

Is this something new ?????

These 'neutron stars galaxies' is it sure they exist at all ?????

I tend to believe that the 1,5 Billion $ instrument on the ISS will discover much more exotic form of matter .

I do not understand these so called 'neutron star galaxies'.

Sorry but why they have spent so much money on ISS sensor if they have to search in different things ????

Regards to an unknown universe.

Dude, it's either $1,500,000,000 -OR- USD 1.5 Billion (or GBP, EUR etc)

Notice no comma if you're using words.
Fix that and remove the extra question marks and you have perfectly good comment... the way it is now it looks like a troll post at best.

Regarding the article...
"Space. Every time we look there's something cooler."
I couldn't have said it better myself

[claudio]

@ myfriend and PROFESSOR of modern languages Shmeeg.

You are perfectly right on the commas even though it is barely understandable in true engish language the recurring sentence in the network comments : "Space. Every time we look there's something cooler" .
Yes the space is rather cold expecially far from "stars".

Regards to the professors in the NET

[Shmeeg]

Why couldn't you just leave it alone and take my suggestion...

"...even though it is barely understandable in true engish language the recurring sentence in the network comments"

^that sentance was barely understandable

"Space. Every time we look there's something cooler".

^All that needs is a comma instead of a full stop.... your sentance needs completely re-structuring.

And wth is, "Yes the space is rather cold expecially far from "stars"... i don't know if you are *attempting* to be funny or simply pointing out an obvious fact.

Please reply

[claudio]

@the professor of language.
Should I need a course I will ....promptly call you.

Why you do not concentrate on the articles rather than trying to teach people around ?

You will not get 1 penny

In Italy the guys like you are promptly defined : "stronzo".
Find the translation your self.

[Shmeeg]

LOL, mate you were the one who started this, I was trying to help you be understood as I knew English wasn't you first language... why you took it as an insult and started *trying* to be funny with me I don't know.

"You will not get 1 penny" - WTF, why would I be after money, this is the internet retard.

And as for "stronzo", you fucking ignorant piece of shit... try coming round where I live and say that, hiding behind your internet alias slinging insults because you can't be hurt, does it actually make you feel big?

Oh, and "your self"... is one fucking word i.e. "Yourself"

[Miles Roldan]

...wow

Claudio, dark matter/energy is completely seperate from anti-matter. There may be dark matter galaxies (as it is hoped for and enabled by the standard model as it now stands) but never anti-matter galaxies.

I am wondering if it would be possible to "trace" the neutron stars through time by following their relative movements through space until the point where we can't find any more of them. Maybe all the neutron stars got caught up in the "dark flow", or maybe they are contributors to the cause of the "dark flow".

:)

Dear Claudio,

This comment maybe slightly late the conversation but in the first post, you used the word "threw" indicating that the neutron galaxies threw a punch? I believe what you meant was "through." Furthermore, I agree with Shmeeg in regards to the manner in which you presented the monetary cost of the new instrument installed on the ISS. It should read $1.5 Billion.

Adressing the comment "dark matter( an exotic form of anti-matter)"..... WTH. What are YOU reading??? The National Iquirer: Astronomy Section???

[Skyler Gambill]

Also, when you tried to make the whole temperature "joke"... you spelled "expecially" wrong. It should be -especially-

Im not trying to be a jerk, but if you are going to post anything and attempt to sound intelligent, dont completely discredit yourself by misspelling words and delivering incoherent senteces.
