    I understand that a six-hour spin is slow and that redefines our understanding of the universe, but reading about regular neutron stars:

    "When the star collapses it may go from a million-kilometre radius to just 10 kilometres....A full spin usually takes these collapsed stars just milliseconds or seconds to occur."

    Such mind-boggingly enormous amounts of energy. Wow.
