The hardest material in the universe is possibly the nuclear pasta. The nuclear pasta is estimated to be around 10 billion times harder to break than steel. It is found probably in the crust of a neutron star
It is not completely proven to exist yet, it’s an hypothesis that explains that the pressure from the gravity would be too high inside a neutron star that it would only allow a solid crust to form

What type of pasta is it
Avatar of Poweranony

Not an eatable pasta for sure.
Seriously tho, the reason it is called a pasta is because the density is so high, the competition of some forces can make unique structures, similar to pastas. 
Here is a picture of an hypothesis of how nuclear pasta's structures could look like:

chocolate is a fruit (according to my now retired teacher) because it comes from coco beans which are seeds. and fruits have seeds. (don’t ask) (gone wrong)

Constant linear motion has no acceleration, but constant rotational motion always has acceleration.

For example if you're in a moving car or train, if it's not speeding up or slowing down you don't feel any forces on you. But if you're on a one of these things (picture)

Even if it's spinning at a constant speed, you feel like you're being pushed to the outside. This is because at at each instant in time you're traveling in a straight line. To make someone travel in a circle you need to constantly push or pull on them which constantly changes their direction.

Traveling at suuuper Speed is Not a risk of death......its suddenly and abruptly coming to a halt that gets u

Oh, here's a good one.

On the international space station you see people floating around. You might think this is because in outer space there is no gravity... but on the international space station they experience about 90% of the gravity compared to us.

So why do they float as if they're weightless? Because the space station is falling towards the earth! It's the same reason if you went sky diving you'd feel weightless as you fell... but the space station doesn't crash to the earth because the trajectory of the fall keeps it at a constant height (that's what orbiting is). A funny way to think of it is the earth is moving out from under the space station as it falls, so then the space station has to fall in a different direction, but the earth moves again, etc.

If it were truly so far away from earth that there was no gravity, then it wouldn't orbit, it would sit in space as the earth sped away from it (because the earth orbits the sun).
