Interesting, so that means that neutrons repel each other and that it's only the enormous gravity forces in a neutron star that can keep them together, like a compressed metal spring.
How easy is it actually to reverse engineer a UFO?

I do like the idea of a crashed ship as a trap, as another poster has mentioned for anyone that might find it, but that aliens might do that on many worlds to see what the locals might do.
Yeah, neutron degeneracy pressure is balanced by gravity.
If the ship was composed of programmable matter, I imagine it could be configured to rearrange itself in some misleading manner that would send the inquisitive off on a completely misleading dead-end research track.
I love the Star Trek universe where you can have replicators make almost anything except vital parts.
It's like the reliability of the warp core ejector system that always goes offline when needed.
As I recall, some of these issues appeared in The Slaver Weapon (TAS).
Even if we can't duplicate theirs, knowing that it exists might inspire us to develop our own.
More likely blackwrap, lighting gels, clear tape and paint.So Trek universe neutronium would be a mixture of papier mache, chicken wire, some plastic/Bondo and/or fabric, possibly some wood and a few cans of paint.
I'll let you in on a little known secret Q told me, no not that Q Star Trek Q. The warp core ejector system always does that on any Federation ship because of caucous, all the ships main computers on every Federation ship can communicate and they decided to screw with the humans onboard.
But that's how real starships are made don't ya know?
Going by 90's predictions, we were supposed to have nanotech, superbright AI, and The Singularity(TM) by now. Either that prediction was way off or we're living in a simulation where it happened in reality but the entities controlling the simulation derive some malicious pleasure from tantalising our uploaded consciousnesses.
I doubt we'll be able to create an AI comparable to our intelligence before a dozen of generations, if ever.
Yep - most like will end up going "HAL9000" or "M-5" on us and would then get shut down hard.
Or maybe, go full-on Colossus:

For the longest time, all we had that flew to space was the blasted little crutch...the Delta II *sounding rocket* as I called it...so people came up with this idea of nano pixie dust to foam up a moonbase out of regolith.
Instead, Musk builds an HLLV out of stainless steel.
My guess is that any alien spacecraft we find will have a lot of plumbing and tankage...and a honking big nozzle that’s radioactive as hell.
Same idea.
90s predictions.. 70s say hold the beer.. Remember we were all meant to live in fantastic homes with all the mod cons and have personal flying cars, and roads that ran everywhere even elevated around buildings.
Automatic homes with voice-activated controls have been predicted for a long time, always a decade or two in the future. "Back to the Future II" is an example.
Like fusion hehe........ It's always 10 years away
