I'm trying to understand your post: > But you only need look once at the Crab Nebula never to be able to un-see the turbulent flow that would be impossible in a gas at that pressure. Just what "pressure"? Of what? Where? And near the Crab Nebula (the pictures are amazing) but how is that relevant, related, does correspond to the big flows or whatever of the OP? > The rule is that a heavy body can have a magnetic field, but it doesn't do much of anything -- certainly not affect the motion of quadrillions of tons of nearby plasma, never mind be affected by them. In the context of the OP and/or the Crab Nebula, what is the "heavy body"? For the Crab, that is the neutron star or black hole at the center of the nebula? For the filaments of the OP, what is the "heavy body"? Related, the OP is talking about some really hot gas, difficult to see because it is nearly transparent to visible light. So, why doesn't that gas cool just by escaping photons? And, how did the gas get so hot to begin with? We're supposed to accept that the heat came from some quasars?
