Talk:Magnetospheric eternally collapsing object

Was this article lifted?

This article is remarkably similiar to the recent NewScientistSpace.com news article at this address:

It seems pretty clear that one is a copy of the other.

what this article must address

What is a highly redshifted rotating magnetic dipole? -- CannibalSmith 12:06 GMT 28 July 2006

Well it's not a monopole (only north or only south magnetic) just a plain magnet.

And gues it turns so fast it's starting to redshift (i'm not sure how fast an object can rotate, but i'll gues it's all a in single quantum state so altough it's huge it might interact as if it was one particle. (so how fast can a single particle spin?)

If it's not acting like a single particle, then i think the fastest rotation is the speed of light, redshift would then mean close to the speed of light. anonymous

How exactly do magnetic fields affect neutral particles?

The article's description of how matter is prevented from falling into a MECO is incomplete. A very strong magnetic field may affect charged particles, or neutral particles (like neutrons) that are composites of charged particles, but uncharged fundamental particles (like neutrinos) wouldn't be flung away in this manner. These are produced in copious quantity by stellar collapse that reaches the neutron star stage or farther, so their effects won't be negligible. --Christopher Thomas 19:14, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

History?

Are there any research papers or articles about MECO theory we could quote or link here? It seems that all coverage on this topic is from the very recent news articles about it. I understand that one of Dr. Hawking's main bets is the existence (or non-existence) of black holes. Surely there's some sort of long and grandiose correspondence documenting this? :) I dunno, just seems like this only recently popped up claiming a long history, but this page is only concerned. --Addama 14:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
