my name is Rich Levinson, and the reason I am developing this web site is to follow up on the work I did on X-ray pulsars between 1971 and 1973.That work included making the discoveries that both Cen X-3 and Her X-1 are members of close binary systems and their x-rays are fueled by interacting with the atmospheres of their respective companions.This web site is dedicated to exploring the implications of this logic, which may possibly lead us to a whole new conceptualization for understanding the observations of the many branches of astrophysics.It is also essential to mention that in the years that followed the initial 1974 discovery, Betsy, Rob, and our other two children, Peter and Hillary have encouraged me to keep this theory alive, and so, as a result, the Neutron Star Capture Theory is now ready to be introduced to all who may be interested.Rich Levinson
