Astronomers spot the fastest spinning magnetar ever seen

Far-off in the Milky Way galaxy, 21,000 light-years from Earth, astronomers have spotted the fastest-spinning magnetar (and possibly youngest, too) ever seen. And that’s just the start of what makes this star strange.

Only 500 years old. Wonder if there are any 16th century records of a supernova in that vicinity.

Has quantum mechanics been broken yet? I heard some time ago that magnetars could be powerful enough to break qm.
