If you've ever had your space time wobbled, you know how painful that can be.

It certainly did disrupt space time because I saw this video tomorrow. 🤷

So who's in the pool for Anton inventing a hyperdrive engine in the next 20 years? *i want IN*

I suggested the frame dragging for a similar effect a couple years ago and received many doubtful responses. Thanks for your cogent reporting.

To give anyone an idea JUST HOW strong the magnetic field is from a 'Regular' Magnetar... at around 1000 Km/600Miles away from one, the Iron in your blood will start to be ripped out! Now THAT's some fridge magnet! 🤣🇬🇧

That 'ringing' looked like what I've seen in under-damped inductors.

Your videos help me decompress when I'm feeling too overwhelmed or overstimulated, I like the way you explain and describe concepts, I usually find it difficult to understand physics and astronomy but I can feel more gears turning in my brain
