Hii, This is Science Feed.
Have you ever heard about strange matter ??

If no, then this line is for you ;)
"Strange Matter is a hypothetical form of quark matter which is more stable than nuclear matter."
There is a reason for saying it strange.
It is predicted that strange matter is found in the core of the neutron star. Neutron stars are one of the densest bodies in the universe. When a star, having 8 times the mass of its initial mass, gets exhausted all its nuclear fuel, then the star starts collapsing in its own core and temperature exceeds. As temperature rises, electrons and protons start forming neutrons by the electron capture process. Slowly, the repulsion force and neutron pressure stop the contraction of the core but start moving outwards leading to the formation of a supernova. Inside supernova, if the left core has 3 times less than the mass of the initial star, it becomes a neutron star. Otherwise, it becomes a black hole.
Now, inside the core of the neutron star, the density is beyond the critical limit due to which protons and neutrons break up into their native quarks. the final matter is hypothesized as strange matter,
So, According to the prediction, its inside neutron star.
But, Why Strange matter is problems for us?
Even after no singe proof, Strange matter is a problem.
Here is why.
Stranger matter has a bizarre property. It is so much stable that it can convert any nuclear matter in strange one. Even a small strangelet is able to destroy our whole planet in a small interval of time (as prediction). Neutron stars have strange matter in is core. Maybe two colliding neutron stars eject out strangelets, which will reach our planet from a distant part of our galaxy.
Currently, researches are going on quarks which may reveal more secrets about strange matter.
Some scientists also believe that one day we will be able to harness the life-saving energy from this weird state of matter. The strange matter may become our future source of energy.
But, we cannot say what will happen in the future.
