Topic :- “Cosmic Fireworks: Ultimate demise of exotic stars”

Everything about space is interesting, especially some violent deep-sky events termed as transient astronomical events (supernova, gamma-ray bursts, etc.) stand at the edge between horror and wonder. But Why!?

Some supernovae may leave behind denser quark stars (or exotic stars), in which neutrons dissolve into their constituent quarks, and the cores of which can reach the same density as that of the universe 10^-10 seconds after the big bang, making these cores the only place in the modern universe where matter naturally returns to their primordial state.
