Could the pulsars actually be oscillators?
Abstract
A simplified form of a nonsymmetric metric is used to develop the coupling of the electrostatic and gravitational fields, which only occurs in dynamic solutions. The coupling results in a resonance in an object near the Schwarzschild radius. The resonator is unique in that the frequency decreases with radius, reaching a lower limit near 0.4 Hz at the gravitational limit. The limiting frequency does not depend on the mass or any other parameter. It is a constant of physics. Gravitational contraction supplies energy to the resonator, causing it to break into oscillation. The solution is in reasonable agreement with the properties of the mainstream pulsars. An observational test to determine if the pulsars are oscillators has never been performed, and an observational technique is developed for distinguishing between the rotational and oscillatory cases.
