ACEIZE Tracking the current state of Science and Technology

John Singleton and Andrea Schmidt of Los Alamos National Laboratory are presenting research on the process behind pulsar light emission. This research will be presented at the 215th meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

Their research explains a new theory for understanding the data collected regarding pulsar light emissions. Their theory is that the rotating magnetic field of a pulsar create a faster than light current of charged particles. According to MSNBC, the fields create a current which causes positively charged atoms to move in one direction and negatively charged atoms to move in another direction. This wave movement is, in sum total, faster than light.

It sounds a little like electricity to me.
