Neutron Stars are considered to be among the densest objects in the universe. Consider a star with a mass about 1.5 times that of our Sun compressed into a 15-kilometer ball, the density of this would be similar to the density of Neutron Stars. 

Immense density comes with intense gravitational forces. 

 When two Neutron Stars merge in a violent collision, the forces involved can be powerful enough to result in the formation of a black hole. Where the gravity is so large that nothing, not even light, can escape it. 

 This Neutron Star Collision and the formation of a black hole can cause ripples in the surrounding gravitational fields. These Gravitational Waves alter the fabric of the universe through the expansion and shrinkage of spacetime.
