700Hz rotation period? Impossible. Pulsars are something else. They cant be rotating matter. Other than that amazing.

I think it sounds like good hardcore/speedcore music! I love pulsars! : )

What a shame that such an interesting presentation by such an interesting person has to suffer from such unearthly bad audio, so bad that the intelligibility drops almost to zero near the end. Pulsars could be discovered because people understood gain staging and linearity in electronic circuits, and the results of that research couldn't be purveyed here because someone at the end of the chain didn't understand basically the same things at all.
