....fast enough to accelerate electrons to ridiculous velocities.

Can we wrap some copper windings around this pulsar?

“Measuring the magnetic field of a far-distant object is easier said than done, though. As strong as they are, (those fields quickly weaken to become undetectable over distances of thousands of light years).

My memory of formulas is 60 years out of practice, but I think the magnetic force decreases as the distance squared.

it's the only X-ray source in our galaxy to fall into the ultra-luminous category.

And this affects the southern United States in what way??? Don’t really care how it affects the northern United States...

Meh. I doubt even the astronomers are all that excited about it. Just something to do that pays the bills after you find out your degree is worthless otherwise. Can’t win ‘em all.

For comparison - 1.5T MRI is the standard imaging method for most routine scans. In some cases, the increased magnet strength of a 3.0T scanner is necessary.

That is only for the monopole point-source model.

That’s who’s stealing our gravity and magnetic field.

I say we nuke it from orbit, it’s the only...

Iron Man
Black Sabbath

[Intro]
I am Iron Man

[Verse 1]
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or, if he moves, will he fall?

[Verse 2]
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
For the future of mankind

[Chorus]
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

[Chorus]
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again

[Instrumental Outro]

Imho, Ozzie and Keith should donate their bodies to science.

When they leave the planet of course.

Don’t need any more gravity. I’ve got plenty enough, thanks.

I don’t understand the attraction.

No.

They both defy human physiology.
