Comment on Can't throw me off the scent
Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days agoThe unit is Tesla. For reference, the earths magnetic field is around 50 nT on the surface (depending on latitude), and MRI machines have 1.5 T or 3 T. So your 10¹⁰ T might just nail you to the earths Iron core 😂
Given that even 3 T is already considered a large amount of flux, would it be even possible for an object with 10 billion Tesla to even exist? And if so, what would it take to achieve that amount of flux? Does a neutron star or a pulsar* get even remotely close?
* - pulling these examples kinda out of my ass – while i’m sure neutron stars have extreme magnetic fields i’m not so sure about pulsars
Yup, magnetars. Like specifically that number, 10^9 - 10^11 T.
Damn, that’s interesting! Also just realised I forgot that pulsars are a type of neutron star
I didn’t remember the scale, I just picked a number from my head
Yes I got that, wasn’t trying to poke fun at you. It was just a funny mental image to me that I wanted to share.

Nail me harder down tu the core, magnet daddy.
