He said then that supernovae probably cease to exist as ordinary stars; that protons and electrons coalesce on the surface into neutrons which, having no electric charges to repel one another, "rain" down toward the centre, pack sluggishly together, creating a heavy, lifeless "neutron star." With the possible exception of one 19th Century supernova, the supernova reported...
