Despite countless observations, the physics of pulsar winds have remained an enigma. Here we had the rare opportunity to see pulsar wind clashing with stellar wind. It is analogous to smashing something open to see what's inside.

Despite countless observations, the physics of pulsar winds have remained an enigma.

The only fact that is crystal clear at the moment is that this is the pulsar system to watch if we want to understand pulsar winds. Never have we seen pulsar wind in such detail. We are continuing with theoretical models now.

I'm disappointed, ... I spent several years there. I was one of the founding members of their Institute for Theoretical Physics. I would have thought they'd be proud to claim me.

Indubitably, Magick is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgement and practice than in any other branch of physics.

At the time of the October Revolution, the Russian intellectual elite had been both a part and a partner to the European conversation about God, power, and human life. After fifty years of purges, arrests, and, most damaging, unrelenting pressure on what had become an isolated thought universe, the Russian intellectual landscape was populated by barely articulated ghosts of once vibrant ideas. Even Communist ideology was a shadow of its former self, a set of ritually repeated words that had lost all meaning.
