Abstract
Claims suggest that the dynamics of PSR 1913+16 binary pulsar is indirect evidence concerning the existence of gravitational waves. The pulsar is postulated to have a neutron star and a companion body of equal mass that orbit each other in separate elliptical orbits that have the same period anchored to a common focus. The rapid change in the perihelion of the pulsar’s decaying orbit suggests that orbital energy is dissipated as gravitational wave radiation. The pulsar is reexamined considering that these separate orbits should either coalesce into an elliptical or circular orbit as observed for some binary white dwarf systems or that these two bodies may be in orbit about: 1) A third larger rotating body, 2) A rotating black hole, or 3) A torsion/spin or gravitational‐like field vortex singularity. The decaying orbits can be partially explained by the gravitational attraction due to a postulated third celestial object that can partially dissipate each orbiting body’s momentum. This implies that the pulsa...
