The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Here is a link to an interesting article....

archive.is - Seven wonders of the milky way an astronomers guide to the galaxy

Under the discussion of magnetars, the article says this,

Neutron stars become magnetars when their interior somehow whips up the strongest magnetic fields in the universe – a million billion times more powerful than Earth’s field. So tourists should be wary: even a thousand kilometres away from SGR 1935+2154, the intense magnetism would shred your atoms into a fine mist. From a safe distance, though, we will be treated to strange, shimmering patterns of light that coruscate across the surface. The magnetar warps space-time around it so that light travelling nearby will be refracted into a great cosmic hall of mirrors.

Magnetism warping space-time? This is the first I heard of this. Have I just missed something that it otherwise well known?
