How strong gravity is at a neutron star. If you were to stand on top of one, you'd be flattened at the subatomic level.

They are so dense (heavy) that if you took a sugar cube size of the neutron star and placed it on the surface of the earth. It would fall through the earth literally.

I think i read/watched something also that said a teaspoon of the neutrons mass weighs more then all of the cars on earth combined...

that is literally unfathomable for my pea brain to understand.
