It's amazing what a really big boom can do. We can't even fathom the bigness of that kind of boom. To get a star remnant rotating faster than the human eye can detect is just... mind boggling.
Youโll definitely find video gamers who claim to be able to see that temporal resolution, of course.

Your username is intriguing. Have you tried it? Is it any good?
Also, neutron stars are awesome. Densities on the order of "Mount Everests per teaspoon"? Almost unimaginable.
