okay, next silly question, what is neutronium?
Sorry for the slightly glib answer. My intent was to convey the idea of the material that makes up neutron stars, which is a dense soup of neutrons, protons, electrons, pions, etc, all bound gravitationally to a degree that the nuclear forces are overwhelmed.

The actual word neutronium is a science fiction term, which was actually out of place here.
