If anybody is interested in neutron stars, the SLAC public lecture a few 
weeks ago was very good.

Supernovas: Gravity-powered Neutrino Bombs

When a star runs out of fuel, it collapses.  If it's in the right size range, 
it turns into a neutron star.  That collapse takes 1 ms and involves speeds 
up to c/4 - all due to gravity.  Neutron stars are so dense that it takes 10 
seconds for neutrinos to diffuse out because they keep buming into stuff.  
"diffuse" and neutrinos?

It will be interesting to see if/when LIGO picks one up.  I assume they will 
if it's near enough, but I don't want to be too near.
