The frequency of a pulsar's rotation depends on factors that existed before the pulsar formed. Is it so far fetched to imagine that the universe was indeed a very different place in the distant past, and thus affected celestial bodies differently than we observe today?
Instead of assuming that "everything must always be the same", would it not be easier to assume that sometimes things are just wildly different, even when they are of the same type?

- dumpsterdiver 3y agoHa, fair enough. I appreciate your candid response.
