Is neutron star material stable?
5 answers
Oft heard it said that a teaspoon of neutron star material may be heavier than a mountain. Is this stuff actually real? And stable? Also, if this were to say arrive at earth—would it just pass through the crust and settle in earth's core?

It's stable under enormous pressure. If you remove the pressure, it will explode.

At the surface of a neutron star, the gravity is about 200 billion g's. But even that is not enough to keep the neutron material stable, you have to go down 1 or 2 kilometers to get enough pressure to have the neutron-proton Fermi liquid.

nobody knows , neutron stars, black holes etc are theoretical , we can't see them or study them we can only observe the effect they have on other bodies

It would be stable only under the enormous gravitational pressures of a neutron star. A teaspoon of a neutron star would not be stable if it was not part of the neutron star.
