Fun fact!
12 years ago
An object dropped from a height of one meter from a neutron star of 1.4 solar masses would impact the surface with a speed of around 4.3 million mph (1.93*10^6 m/s, for men, or 1.93*10^8 cm/s, for REAL men).

Stuff is big. Stuff is dense. Stuff is far apart. Stuff is extreme in ways that can not be fathomed.
The rest of the time I remember that my brain can not fluidly do operations beyond extremely simple (read: 2 digits) addition. Even so far as subtraction I've gotta talk it through in my head. :\
But REAL men use relativity.
Right now I'm stuck on the electromagnetic tensor and the principle of least action.
Part 2: Derive an equation for the change in mass of the object for an observer standing on the neutron star as a function of distance from the surface over this meter long drop.
