SO WHAT IS A QUATSTAR?
- 1) For business let's say it's an acronym for a star company that's good at implementing the QUAT strategy:
  - QUAT Strategy
    1) Q - Quality
    2) U - Userfriendly (or Usability)
    3) A - Accessability (or Availability)
    4) T - Teamwork.
    
    Personally within software development field I find this strategy greatly supporting the business when applied as a whole. It impacts the company's reputation more if applied globally (more than as a sum of its parts) - and that these concepts do so more than many other concepts.
    
    Notice these are all abstract resulting type of concepts where each can have a real global impact. That means a lot of other concepts must happen first before these get firmly established.
    
    For instance 'Equality is essential for Teamwork' (rarely the other way around). For teamwork to really happen we should focus on optimizing the triggering forces/concepts like ensuring real equality exists in the work place. How do we get equality? Drill down the concepts further and you find that harmony and two way communication are essential for equality to occur.
    
    Also 'Quality' has always been difficult to operationally define. The quality pursuit is not a quick fix - it's a commitment to a way of life where quality is always in the driver's seat.
    
    2 critical quality aspects:
    1) Know the target of what the end users want now. Do we have a product/service that is currently on target for all end users?
    2) Concern with what end users don't want ('lack of quality'). Do we have a product/service that causes no failure (not defective)?
    
    Both aspects must be working in tandem - I've seen far too many places focus on only one of the two aspects.
    
    A company that pays attention to both aspects would at least:
    1) be tuned in with who/what its external end users want/experience now
    2) also know how such critical variables map to all employee activities.
    
    For instance companies often have no satisfying roadmap for how to deal with 'issues of quality'. Customers suffer the most - from their pockets. Everybody may know they have what customers are looking for (on target). But customers can still get miserable with their desired product/service because the producer doesn't know how to reconcile this bad experience for the customer. So both go down to an unforseen rabbit hole.
    
    It's easy for perceived quality translations made by the business from their customer relationships to get distorted. Essential is that both management and the people working in the systems agree on the company's perceived quality definitions. For operators part of the quality definition is knowing precisely what is expected of them and knowing what they are accomplishing as well what processes they are regulating to ensure they meet the expectations. Also essential is the realization that overall 'Quality' is largely a management issue not a worker issue.
    
    For management a key strategy/component that ensures they provide quality products and services is to exhibit constancy of purpose. Constancy of purpose requires that main aims do not shift despite market pressures and that leaders regularly communicate effectively with those working within systems.
- 2) The second definition for the 'Quatstar' is a real (theoretical) object from a totally different subject - Astronomy.
  - To me astronomy is now to become the new geography - it is now the 'shape of outer space' we explore. For some time now I explored an old hunch that a special undiscovered star type exists, one that's more massive and stable than a typical quasar. If such a star were found, we should see it for it would light up the whole universe more than a quasar would.
    Shortly after the Big Bang when the expanding universe was still quite hot and very compact, conditions were ripe for the formation of the first hydrogen stars. Early on the first stars were only mainly very massive stars (and blackholes) so close to each other they'd frequently collide and rebuild. The baby universe's background was still quite hot enabling large stars to clump together into incredibly large stars that remains stable by staying very large and very hot via mainly possibly by the emission of ghost like particles called neutrinos and its antiparticles - antineutrinos. A quatstar is so big it could produce a whole galaxy of quasars!
HOW DO YOU THINK A QUATSTAR CAME TO EXIST?
- In the early days of the universe - during its first 100 million years or so the first stars born were fusing helium atoms from the primordial soup of hydrogen gas. These first stars were typically very very massive and large in volume as well. Initially such stars were hundreds, thousands, or even million times more massive than our sun. (Like our sun the first stars convert hydrogen into helium through 3 branches of the proton-proton process which also yields beryllium, electrons, neutrinos and gamma rays.) And like the large main sequence stars we observe today the larger they are the faster they die. So the first stars mainly fused only hydrogen and quickly went supernova after existing for maybe ~100 million years or so. Actually specifically when a large fusing star burns off much of the hydrogen and begins to fuse into the iron fusing stage it then gravitationally collapses and eventually (~10 million years) die as a supernova leaving behind as a core a small neutron star (extremely massive stars leave a behind a blackhole instead.) An island of such hydrogen fusing stars that co-evolved together formed what is called a 'proto-galaxy'. A proto-galaxy is thought to be much smaller group of stars than what a typical galaxy today puts out. Early universe was much more compact and far hotter that stars in a proto-galaxy were clustered in such close proximity. Undoubtedly powerful gravitational shock waves must have frequently forever altered neighboring bodies causing many to collide and merge. Some of these bodies were blackholes and neutron stars. After doing so the resulting blackholes and neutron stars themselves become very hot and expand considerably. Surely some of these neutron stars get much larger after merging many times.
  
  Now depending on mainly its initial mass when a large star goes supernova it can leave behind a renmant that is either:
  1) a neutron star;
  2) or a pulsar (very dense and fast rotating neutron star that over long time slows down and loses its magnetic field only to eventually become invisible);
  3) or a magnetar (from 30+ solar mass stars) - a small bizarre star containing powerful magnetic fields.
  4) or a blackhole. Massive stars leave behind a blackhole. (Similarly when ultra massive quasars (quatstar) die they leave behind a supermassive blackhole).
  
  Now imagine our young universe filled with frequent titanic supernovas and star collisions in a much tighter volume of space. Trillions upon trillions of large neutron stars and massive blackholes must have been present then. When a neutron star (or a hot blackhole belches out radiation when it is too compact and hot) remains with powerful jets radiating huge amounts of energy through its poles it becomes a special kind of high energy star astronomers call a 'quasar'. And periodic exploses releases of energy from such poles produce the most intense type of radiation source in the known universe called a GRB (Gamma Ray Burst). A typical quasar is the brightest kind of star we see in the universe today. A single quasar can easily outshine even an entire galaxy containing a 100 billion stars like our sun. Quasars are thought to be the oldest objects in the known universe. Astronomers believe within core of all galaxies today are supermassive blackholes (including our own Milky Way) and that at one time they likely were quasars so that galaxies as a whole tend to evolve from quasars. The universe today has expanded a good deal so that stars within galaxies rarely collide unlike the first stars in the early universe.
  
  Now much like the first hydrogen stars in the early universe even the quasars must have collided together. When quasars merge I theorize that an even more special kind of new star (or blackhole) emerges. If it survives as a star it becomes a more rare kind of hotter quasar that might be more stable and likely has other rather interesting properties as well. I call it a 'Quatstar'.
  
  Now similar to how a large star leaves behind a small neutron star after it goes supernova, a Quatstar is most likely an overgrown superhuge hot magnetar left behind after an incredible ultranova from a quasar like object. The universe was very hot so that magnetars can get much larger than they typically now do. This star is so big that even without looking at its possibly incredibly long lobes if you were replace our sun with it our entire solar system would easily fit inside the nuclear bomb furnace of the Quatstar. Quasars themselves are big stars typically dwarfing the entire solar system as well. If you include its rather long jet lobes which likely makes a quasar much bigger - its diameter can stretch to be roughly 1 kiloparsec (that's 3260 light years!). Without its jet lobes its diameter probably the size of the solar system. However not looking at jet lobes I say a quatstar can in turn be thousands times hotter and larger than a typical quasar and contain a 100 billion or more solar masses. The lobes of a quatstar eventually would become the arms of a new large galaxy stretching out to 50,000 light years or more.
  
  Large massive galaxies containing the most supermassive cores could very well have been the site of a quatstar or once was after a stupendous hypernova of a quatstar left behind a supermassive blackhole.
HOW CAN A QUATSTAR BE SO STABLE?
- There's a property 'Jean's Mass' named after British physicist Sir James Jeans. It occurs when the internal gas pressure of a body is not strong enough to prevent gravitational collapse of a region filled with matter. He considered the process of gravitational collapse within a gaseous cloud and was able to show that, under appropriate conditions, a cloud, or part of one (note I am extrapolating this to a star) would become unstable and begin to collapse when it lacked sufficient gaseous pressure support to balance the force of gravity. So a mass of a cloud (or of a star) is stable for sufficiently small mass (at a given temperature and radius), but once this critical mass is exceeded, it will begin a process of runaway contraction until some other force can impede the collapse.
  
  Likewise if the star's temperature and radius both were increased for a given star mass then the star itself can be more stable. He derived a formula for calculating this critical mass as a function of its density and temperature. So the greater the mass of the cloud (star), the smaller its size, and the colder its temperature, the less stable it will be against gravitational collapse.
  
  So in our case if a quasar's mass is held constant while star's temperature (surface and core) is made hotter and the star expands with a larger radius then such a quasar could be more stable. Most stars in our own galaxy including our sun are now third generation stars (aka population 3). Meanwhile the core of our galaxy has always existed there. Clearly whatever's in the core is no ordinary object, for what could exist there for so long with a mass of at least 2 million suns? A supermassive blackhole.
  
  Many astronomers now believe this supermassive blackhole at the core was once a quasar that blew away much of its gasses through its 2 jet lobes. Over time it loses its brilliance and momentum so that eventually the galaxy evolves into a whirlpool (like ours) with spiral arms guided by strong magnetic currents originating from the core. In turn the core slowly retreats - sucking all the stars back into its supermassive blackhole. So the core of all galaxies like ours has a supermassive blackhole that lives a very long time - longer than most stars. Eventually each may evaporate after feeding on its own galaxy of stars.
  
  But I wonder for some rare giant galaxies - is there another similar scenario? What if there really is a visible star at its core? In this case an enormous supermassive magnetar would be left over from the early universe - a Quatstar!
  
  Such a star would have more mass (or comparable) than a typical quasar but also be far larger and hotter so that it can remain stable and survive as a star living to be as old as the known universe. Obviously like a blackhole, its mass can still increase by having a faster rotation which causes it to suck in more mass from neighboring bodies and clouds. But like a blackhole even though the quatstar is much larger than a quasar - it can still get very tight for hot gasses to move about. And like all other stars, a quatstar can go unstable. Massive hiccups/belches can occur where it emits powerful shockwaves streaming through mainly its jet lobes. But these disturbances can be so great that it actually triggers the whole star to blow up as a massive ultranova. It expels most of its layers leaving behind in its core - once again a supermassive blackhole.
