    No you mean theoretical. As neutronium is a theoretical substance. To our knowledge there’s no way to find it outside of neuron stars. It is therefore physically impossible, within our current state of knowledge.

    It’s highly unlikely, bordering on theoretically impossible to assume that mankind will be able to synthesize enough to fill a cardboard box with. Then the practical side says even if that was possible, there would probably no way a cardboard box could contain that (and a plethora of other practical impossibilities).

      Well, you wouldn’t actually need to fill the box, just exceed the weight limit. And since neuronium weighing just 70 Pounds would have negligible volume, the problem becomes on of making a containment chamber that would fit inside the box.

      That and the neutrons would rapidly undergo beta decay producing a LOT of free energy and other particles.
