The speed of an intensity pattern of polarization currents on a circle,
induced within a star by its rotating, magnetized core, will exceed the speed
of light for a sufficiently large star, and/or rapid rotation, and will, in
turn, generate focused electromagnetic beams which disrupt them. Upon core
collapse within such a star, the emergence of these beams will concentrate near
the two rotational poles, driving jets of matter into material previously
ejected via the same excitation mechanism acting through the pre-core-collapse
rotation of its magnetized stellar core(s). This interpenetration of material,
light-days in extent from the progenitor, produces a significant fraction of
the total supernova luminosity, with the magnitude and time of maximum of this
contribution both vary with the progenitor’s rotational orientation. The net
effect is to render supernovae unusable as standard candles without further
detailed understanding, leaving no firm basis, at this time, to favor any
cosmology, including those involving “Dark Energy.” Thus we are not now, nor
have we ever been, in an era of precision cosmology, nor are we likely to be
anytime soon. Mass loss induced through the same mechanism also keeps
aggregates of gas and plasma in the early Universe, or at any other epoch, from
forming the ~billion solar mass stars which have been suggested to produce
~billion solar mass black holes via “direct collapse,” but can also provide a
signature to predict core collapse some months in advance.
