    Is it possible that the wacky magnetic fields could be partially caused by them dragging against the interstellar medium? The pulsar’s magnetic fields are so strong that they rip material off of the pulsar and slam them back into it. Is it possible that these fields are so tangible that them dragging against the interstellar medium causes them to be “pushed” to a relatively similar location?

    First time i've seen your videos pop up on my suggestion feed. Good stuff! Quick thought on the subject at hand. Is it possible we're seeing an effect from frame dragging? It's more slight than a black hole, sure. But would still have an impact. What I find of even greater curiousity is the VERY specific angle it's escaping from. Maybe the EM can only 'sneak out' at specific angles.

    always a pleasure to watch these videos. what if the differences in the observations can be chalked up to almost refraction and their specific angle or view, since pulsars can bend space time and thus light there could simply be 2 poles we can see and one on the opposite side/ far side. we could only be seeing just one side of the pulsars yet 2 flashes each from 2 of the same polarity poles. its not uncommon for several poles when dealing with planetary + electromagnetic fields.

    • @LaunchPadAstronomy
      @LaunchPadAstronomy  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Andy, The beams emerge from the magnetic poles, which in the traditional model are thought to be similar to those of a bar magnet. But the "bar" is tilted with respect to the rotational poles of the pulsar, so the beams rotate with the the pulsar as a lighthouse. Hope that helps!

    This tactics of cosmology .... always they tell us "we know this exactly, we can explain everything" and what they can't explore they just hide in the core. Same on Earth, on the Sun etc. Everything get's a magical core that hides everything what they can't explain.
    In fact they don't know at all what a pulsar is, becasue the gaseous sun model is falsified ans a liquid sun can't compress. They can't explain the pulsars that change it's pulses frequencies rapidly. The kinetic energy of the braking and accelerating the rotation added to the centrifugal force of this rotation speed of a dentist drill would extend the gravity and it would disintegrate.
    They really should work first on a model of the sun before speculating a lot of nonsense about superdense matter.
    For more then seven years this one paper killed the sun model entirely:

      Launch Pad Astronomy THanx a lot! I knew jets travel at near light speed, my doubt is about “what is the thing/phenomenon that really rotates”. Since we didn’t even have a precise rate for our Sun, and the one we have was estimated by observing sunspots, and we know not all the body rotates at same speed.
      Do you think is correct/fair to assume +10Hz as radiation field’s rotating rate and not necessarily full body’s rotation?

    I think this might have been what I seen about an hour ago. I've seen this before (I think this past fall) and did a LITTLE googling, but didn't find anything similar. When I noticed it tonight, after the second rotation (that I saw), I tried to quickly get my phone out and capture it. Sadly, only one more rotation was visible to me, but I did manage to capture that last one.. JUST IN TIME too. I'm just assuming this was a pulsar.. it's the only thing that comes close to the description of what I have seen.. TWICE IN ONE YEAR!

    From the results, it looks like a standard multistream dynamo consensus field, much similar with our observations of the solar magnetic field and even earth's field. Not a single equatorial stream, but multiple "rivers" of electrons in a superconducting mantle region and events when the entangled field lines disconnect.
    Overall, I'll editorialize in saying, that's a really rough neighborhood to try to live in. ;)

    You sure the two groups observing the Pulsar are watching the same one? Since their sizes and masses and even the placements of the magnetic field line spots are different?

    • @LaunchPadAstronomy
      @LaunchPadAstronomy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      They're really not so different in the sense that they both predict one or more magnetic poles in the southern hemisphere of the pulsar, as opposed to one model showing the traditional dipole model and the other showing something completely different. If that were the case, then confidence in the data or the analysis would be much lower.

    Hey, I used to have that "Space Places" book, once upon a time! Last time I had it in my hands was probably well over 20 years ago. I remember it being EXTREMELY heavy. Probably one of the heaviest books I've ever owned. I can only think of maybe two others.
    Anyways, my religious parents are ... not into the whole "space thing" ... so they tossed it. I really miss that book. =(

    Yes, the current understanding of pulsars is wrong. To start with, only the magnetic field spins, not the pulsar itself. Secondly, the pulsing of pulsars is an expression of electromagnetic activity in a larger electromagnetic field - a pulsar is a point in a pattern similar, metaphorically speaking, to the points of light that scintillate, dance and sparkle on waves when the sun rises over the sea, (I don't mean to suggest monotheism here but I am gesturing toward a unity of the pattern). This is a pattern that expresses itself through all the objects - the objects aren't isolated, like islands unto themselves, producing the phenomena they produce purely by internal dynamics. In fact, the objects themselves are predominantly products of the pattern though they affect the pattern upon coming into existence. No, I'm not coming from the mainstream kind of astrophysics that sees gravity as the dominant force in the universe. Yes, I am a scientific heretic.

    It has been known for forty years that the magnetic poles of a neutron star can be quite close together, and number more than two. A polarity reversal is way out of the question. The crust medium is extremely rigid, not like our Sun, and the flux is "frozen" to the crust.
    Even the planet Jupiter does not have the "canonical" shape of its magnetic field.

    The core of a Neutron Star is made up a fluidic mass that fluctuates between normal mass and Hexaquarts. However, Neutron Star don't have the mass of conditions to maintain the Hexaquarts which is constantly breaking down do to the weak gravity.
