Current physics explanations of neutron star formation mostly rely on electron degeneracy pressure and weak interaction, but the fundamental physical mechanism is not clearly explained. From the perspective of macroscopic universal gravitation and atomic spatial structure, this paper proposes the Atomic Space Collapse Model: the formation of neutron stars is essentially the result of the super strong macroscopic gravity generated by a large number of atomic nuclei in a massive star at the end of evolution, which completely compresses and eliminates the distance between atomic nuclei. Electrons lose their orbital space and are forced to combine with protons to form neutrons, and the star finally becomes a dense neutron star. This model is based on the most basic gravity and material structure laws, with clear logic and complete process, which can more intuitively explain the essential mechanism of neutron star formation.
