When dying stars detonate
as supernovae, spread out a shock wave lead the so-called "rebound" -
matter and elementary particles are compressed towards the center of the star
to achieve the density that come into play in the nuclear force.
In the development of a
supernova nuclear particles can create different and often bizarre forms, such
as rods, plates or vials and long threads - which gave the name to this
phenomenon, associated with the famous Italian pasta. Creating a
"paste" because in the dying star DIURNAL two types of forces - the
Coulomb revulsion of the same charges and nuclear forces of attraction.
