Dragon's Egg is a science fiction novel by American writer Robert L. Forward, published in 1980. The story is set on a neutron star where life evolves thousands of times faster than on Earth. Human scientists establish a relationship with the cheela, the intelligent lifeforms living on Dragon's Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years. The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers.
