A new class of gamma-ray-only pulsars shows that the gamma rays must
form in a broader region than the lighthouse-like radio beam. In this
animation, the pulsar's radio beams (green) never intersect Earth,
but its pulsed gamma rays (magenta) do. (Courtesy of NASA/Fermi/Cruz

  • I can't prove to you that the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist either... what does that tell you? That it exists? Do you reach all your conclusion this way? Try some introspection and maybe, just MAYBE a little actual science (not pseudoscience) and you will enjoy the universe just a little more, trust me. Oh and welcome to the universe by the way. I made it, I can't prove it but by your reasoning, you can't deny my divinity and infallibility.

  • Actually, no. Jesus Christ, is this what scientific illiteracy gets us? Okay, so the theory of Gravity is unproven? The Theory Evolution by natural selection is unproven? The theory of electromagnetism is unproven? Is special and general relativity unproven? No, you probably mistake theory and law. A law can best be described in mathematical terms, a theory is all it will ever be, just like everything in Science. So, yes, it WOULD have theory in the description. Get your facts straight.
