Jan 2, 2020 at 17:55 comment added Alexander Black hole evaporation happens because one of the particles in a virtual pair is getting captured by event horizon - and the other one is not. Since neutron stars do not have event horizon, this mechanism does not work.

Jan 2, 2020 at 11:55 comment added Starfish Prime Neutron stars don't decay (unless proton decay turns out to be real...), but once you've taken the neutronium out of that gravity well it'll have the same half life as any other free neutron, about 30 seconds or so. Black hole decay is totally unrelated. After 5 minutes, there will be less than 100 grams left of your 100kg initial block, and the highly energetic decay of all those neutrons will cause it to go foom so you won't have a block for very long.
