Vacuum birefringence and the polarized X-ray emission from a radio magnetar (arxiv.org)

I've been researching fracture of quantum superfluid per Fedi's superfluid quantum mechanics and amplituhedron for massive particles - Proca wave fields - and then this video was on YouTube recommended this morning.

Like ultrasonic power transfer, this observed astrophysical phenomenon seems to confirm that there is indeed superfluid quantum fracture?

If anything can instill a fear of god in me, that would be magnetars.
