Theoretical analysis reveals a mechanical shear limit for extreme magnetic flux, preventing unphysical energy infinities during magnetar events.
This treatise resolves the classical singularity problem in electrodynamics under extreme magnetic flux compression by modeling the physical vacuum as a rigid structural lattice with a defined mechanical shear limit rather than an empty, linear medium. Authored by Mark David Levine, the work introduces a deterministic non-linear saturation equation that caps effective magnetic flux density (Ψcapped) to prevent runaway energy infinities during extreme astrophysical events such as magnetar surface field spikes, relying entirely on fundamental CODATA constants and zero empirical fudge factors.
