If gravitational radiation were responsible for the loss of rotational energy Erot- of an isolated pulsar, then general relativity predicts a dependence dErot/dt is proportional to w6 Solve this expression for co(t). For this time dependence, derive an upper limit for the age of the Crab pulsar. Given that the supernova was in 1054, is gravitational radiation a viable braking mechanism for the Crab pulsar?
