Quark Stars

Quark Stars

A quark star is a hypothetical type of star that forms when a dying massive star collapses beyond the neutron star stage but stops short of becoming a black hole. Inside, matter is crushed so tightly that quarks — the fundamental building blocks of protons and neutrons — break free, forming an exotic soup called quark matter.
The Wiggers Diagram

The Wiggers Diagram

The Wiggers Diagram is a classic graph in physiology that represents all the events of the cardiac cycle in one picture. It combines: Electrical activity (ECG) Pressure changes (atria, ventricles, aorta) Volume changes (in the ventricles) Heart sounds (phonocardiogram: S1, S2, etc.) This is why it looks so complicated—because everything is happening at once. But if we follow it layer by layer, it makes sense.
