Claims suggest that the dynamics of PSR 1913+16 binary pulsar is indirect evidence concerning the existence of gravitational waves. The pulsar is postulated to have a neutron star and a companion body of equal mass that orbit each other in separate elliptical orbits that have the same period anchored to a common focus. The rapid change in the perihelion of the pulsar's decaying orbit suggests that orbital energy is dissipated as gravitational wave radiation. The pulsar is reexamined considering that these separate orbits should either coalesce into an elliptical or circular orbit as observed for some binary white dwarf systems or that these two bodies may be in orbit about: 1) A third larger rotating body, 2) A rotating black hole, or 3) A torsion/spin or gravitational-like field vortex singularity. The decaying orbits can be partially explained by the gravitational attraction due to a postulated third celestial object that can partially dissipate each orbiting body's momentum. This implies that the pulsar may not be a binary but possibly a tertiary system. The high rotational rate of the object located at the common focus may create, through frame dragging the observed perihelion changes. This suggests reconsidering the amount of radiation supposedly converted to gravitational waves and that this pulsar may contain more interesting celestial mysteries than previously considered. Moreover, understanding the environment of this pulsar may provide insights toward using gravitational waves as a propulsion medium.
