The power of gravity?

Know what a neutron star is?
ONE tablespoon of neuronium(main componant of neutron star) would weigh SEVERAL BILLION TONS!!!
If you were to land on a neutron star, the gravity is so strong that you would be squished into a little pile of GOO an eighth of an inch high INSTANTLY!

The strong force (inside atoms) is about one hundred million billion times sronger than gravity, however it acts on VERY short distances; at one millionth of a foot it would be much weaker than the gravity feild on earth.

Gravity affects the large scale structure of galaxies because it acts over HUGE distances; light moves at 180,000 miles per second. One light year is the distance light travels in one year. Galaxies are THOUSANDS of light years across! Gravity is what holds galaxies together...
