SIO373: Headline Claims Neutron Star 'Defies Laws of Physics.' What Does Astrophysicist Bryan Think?
Serious Inquiries Only
The Brightness Discrepancy and Magnetic Fields
This chapter explores how the brightness of an object is affected by mass inflow and luminosity, and how a strong magnetic field in neutron stars can influence particle movement. It also discusses the limitations of using eddyton luminosity as an indicator of an object's maximum luminosity, and criticizes a misleading headline about defying the laws of physics.
