its 100 under gravity 1.6.5.1^1-^-35 x 3 + 6 seconds = 0
my reading: squeeze all 100 elements under enough gravity and every one of them becomes element 0: the neutron, the stuff of a neutron star. that's real, and it's where this whole thread started. it's not quite 0: a neutron star keeps a few percent protons. as arithmetic the line doesn't close: 1.6 × 10⁻³⁵ × 3 + 6 is 6, not 0, and metres can't be added to seconds anyway. but the Planck part is so small next to 6 seconds that no clock could ever see it. the 3 + 6 = 9 seconds sits inside the ~10-second neutrino flash a collapsing star gives off. that match is loose.

how the 100 become 0. in ordinary matter each element is set by its protons, Z. pack matter tight enough and the electrons are forced into the nuclei: a proton plus an electron makes a neutron, and a neutrino flies out. nuclei turn neutron-rich, then above about 4 × 10¹⁴ kg/m³ neutrons start dripping out of them. at nuclear density, 2.3 × 10¹⁷ kg/m³, the nuclei dissolve into one neutron fluid. every element is gone; the page calls that element 0. the steps between are a smooth sketch (AMBER); the thresholds are LIT. a few percent of protons and electrons always stay, because pure neutrons would decay, so "= 0" is really ≈ 0.07. the clock. a star's iron core falls in within a few tenths of a second: at 10¹³ kg/m³ the free-fall time is 0.02 s. it bounces at nuclear density, and the new neutron star then pours out neutrinos for about 10 seconds; in 1987 detectors caught that flash, lasting about 12 seconds. your 3 + 6 = 9 s lands inside it. the Planck line. 1.616 × 10⁻³⁵ m is the Planck length, where gravity itself turns quantum. three of them, turned into time at light speed, is 1.6 × 10⁻⁴³ s. added to 6 seconds, that's a part in 10⁴⁴: zero to any clock ever built, but not zero.
small words: squeeze anything hard enough and it all turns into the same stuff, neutrons, like a neutron star. gold, iron, carbon: all gone, all the same. it happens fast, in less than a second, and then the star glows with invisible little particles for about 10 seconds.
