New Discovery - White Dwarf Pulsar

[Dryson]

The white dwarf pulsar is a unique find and confirms that not everything is discovered and some things remain lost to be discovered...one by one.

First of its kind, certainly -- unique, almost certainly not. Are there other strange things that we haven't predicted that remain to be discovered, certainly. It's a big universe and our imaginations are limited. There is a limit to the number of possible states in the few kilograms of brain matter contained within a skull.

If only we could harness that pulsar's power.
As though his ape's brain could contain the secrets of the Krell.

Ah, fascinating, the Bekenstein limit was referenced in a (relatively throwaway) line of dialog in Destiny.

Yep, it does seem to suggest that we might need to expand the effective size of our brains at some time in the future if we don't want to remain limited.
