I believe the density chances quickly to match Earth’s pressure.

But what else? Will it release energy enough to blow Earth up? Will its mass create some kind of an apocalyptical event?

      So this event would basically radiate life to death?

          That teaspoon of neutron star material weighs a few million tons and should instantly expand without the gravitational pressure of the star.

          We aren’t talking about the outer parts we talk about a core piece, wich is almost as dense as a black hole because its only little away from becoming one.

            “A neutron star is the collapsed core of a massive supergiant star, which had a total mass of between 10 and 25 solar masses…” as mentioned in Wikipedia

            So the weight varies, and not every “specimen” would be that close to a black hole.

      Close. Everyone forgets that a neutron star is held together by gravity. Take a bit away and that bit will fall apart. Rapidly. Very, very, very rapidly. Like significant fraction of c rapidly. Imagine Mt. Everest suddenly flying apart at a significant fraction of c.
