Been lurking on this topic and been thinking about neutron stars
also. I think "allowed" is not the right word. We use it when stating a
naive form of the Pauli Principle, but fermions aren't forbidden from
being in the same state; the total wavefunction goes to zero in that case.
the superposition yields a 'node'.
I can see where John's view of
pressure comes in with regard to a neutron star. I assume here that the
confinement 'box' he speaks of would be the gravitational potential well
the neutrons are confined in.
But couldn't we still write this as a force
with a vector nature in the opposite direction of the gravity?
Any neutron star theorists here? How do they model the entire star?
