Welcome to The Marvels of Science, a podcast about the science and tech of the MCU! Each episode, I sit down with a Science Expert and a Color Commentator to discuss the plausibility of a character, bit of technology, or sci-fi phenomenon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We keep it mostly jargon-free - lots of analogies and layperson language in this lightly structured chat. If you know any science experts or funny people, send them my way!

Episode 17: The Heart of a Dying Star

Thor once said that his hammer, Mjolnir, was forged in the heart of a dying star. We see in Avengers: infinity War that what he really meant was that the forge is encapsulating a neutron star. Not the same, Thor. But what is a neutron star? Is it dying? What's at the heart? Why do we always talk about teaspoons of neutron stars?
