Electric Pulsars

"Electric currents that move faster than light"?

The article qualifies this description by saying that the spinning of the pulsar creates waves that move faster than light. This means that it is not the electric currents but the counter-currents' relative velocities that make something " without mass" undergo this uber-velocity. It's not really electricity doing this after all!! Since the currents themselves, by definition, consist of charged particles, they obviously aren't the "thing" going faster than light, so what "is, actually" in this superluminal condition? Waves of what? Information? Nope; guess again. Work? Nope. Energy? Nope. Axions? Dark matter?UFOs?quarks?transfinitecardinalnumbers?//????????

This seems as silly as taking a flashlight out at night and shining it at the Big Dipper and then sweeping it quickly over to Cassiopeia, and thinking that the light beam had "moved" that cosmic distance between the two in only a second or two at a velocity much faster than the speed of light.

Almost as silly as not recognizing a pulsar for what the EU says is the simplest, best and most plausible explanation for it, as once again Steve so ably relates.

I can't believe people swallow spinning neutronium filth...
I can't believe i once did

Big thanks Steve and Mike and crew for continuing to wash it away!
