Darn it... think i deled my post

ahh cmon Craig... finish the quote brother...

“We all *know* that changing rotation periods have been observed at pulsars, millions of light years from our solar system, and now we find that a similar phenomenon is observed right here at Saturn," said Tom Krimigis, principal investigator of the magnetospheric imaging instrument, also based at the Applied Physics Laboratory and the Academy of Athens, Greece. "With instruments right at the spot where it’s happening, we can tell that plasma flows and complex current systems can mask the real rotation period of the central body. That’s how observations in our solar system help us understand what is seen in distant astrophysical objects.”
Are your senses satisfied by what is said here?
Might we spot the logical inconsistencies in 'knowing' something 'out there', then finding it apparently difficult to measure something close by? ouch, darn empiricism.
As an exercise, lets separate the observations from the model 'assumptions', as an example Pulsars: Signal variability does not *exclusively* indicate a rotational change, 'rotation' is an assumption as mechanisms for 'pulsing' light include more than a lighthouse (as anyone who has sat under a bung flouro tube knows), much worse these frequency glitches require prodigious energy to both slow down, and speed up... and so this signal variability can provide a falsifying test of the model which invokes super dense compact matter beyond any experimental verification just to 'hold' the star together.
but alas... of course, the assumptions must be maintained as the science of reification fails without such chants of 'we know', 'we know'... and so we invent 'star quakes' to kick the can down the street a little further, but little old layman over here now finds an article such as this provided by Craig....
I repeat
We seem to 'know' stuff out there
But we are still working out stuff near here?
...is it an extraordinary thought to look to question these 'rotational' assumptions given that bodies well within a fraction of a light year have yet to reveal their secrets.
ahwell, we carry on

On a serious note I am tempted to look at Thunderbolts as no doubt they will see it as support for EU.... and can imagine there will be a thread upon this exciting observation.
ahh yes... there is another team of plasma and electrical engineers exploring these problems using electrodynamics and electrical engineering concepts... It should not be uncomfortable to discuss EU ideas here, the literature is peer reviewed and regularly published in the world's most renowned high energy plasma physics journal IEEE ICOPS, of which is directly applicable here. Would it not be an holistic approach to explaining 'things out there' with well demonstrated plasma engineering science (real stuff) down here?
Much of these electrical engineering ideas actually stretch back to 1800's, days of empirical science and little experiments and expeditions exploring magnetic field aligned currents, and continue to be verified as scalable to solar distances, such as in this article by Craig.
Nice article, thanks Craig.
