Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the curvature of space around - and within - a neutron star substantial enough that euclidean geometry doesn't really hold anymore? The volume of a basketball is the surface area x R/3, but is that true of a neutron star? I was under the impression that the difference between Euclid and actual was statistically significant, to the point that you get the wrong behavior if you don't account for it.
