Understanding QCD is one of the preeminent problems in all of physics. I
would like to venture into the world of high density QCD and explain some of the interesting physics that occurs there. Specifically, I'll give a brief background of high density quark matter and color superconductivity. Then I'll spend some time on a particular phase of this dense quark matter: CFL-K0. From there, I'll explain some of the physical predictions that can be made about the existence of these phases in a most unique spot, the core of a neutron star!
