All ordinary "room temperature and pressure" matter that we're used to -- that we're made of -- can be thought of as bathtub foam compared to a neutron star stuff that is more like a tungsten brick in that analogy.

Well, not quite, because that analogy misses ten orders of magnitude of density difference. That just hurts my brain.

Magnetars are a whole other level of eldritch madness. The energy density of their magnetic fields is ten thousand times the density of lead.

Let that sink in for a minute.

The vacuum around a magnetar contains so much energy in the magnetic field alone that thanks to the E=mc² conversion ratio between energy and mass it has a "mass density" that is the direct equivalent to every single atomic bomb on the planet blowing up all at once and the released energy of all of that getting packed into a cubic centimeter.
