Recent auto-correlation and fluctuation analysis of time series data in thebrightness curves and micro-lensing size scales seen in Q0957+561 A,B hasproduced important information about the existence and characteristic physicaldimensions of a new non-standard internal structure contained within thisquasar. We find that the new internal quasar structure, which we shall call theSchild-Vakulik Structure, can be consistently explained in terms of a new classof gravitationally collapsing solutions to the Einstein field equations whichdescribe highly redshifted, Eddington limited, Magnetospheric EternallyCollapsing Objects (MECO) that contain intrinsic magnetic moments. Sinceobservation of the Schild-Vakulik structure within Q0957+561 implies that thisquasar contains an observable intrinsic magnetic moment, this represents strongevidence that this quasar does not have an event horizonComment: 59 Page manuscript with 2 illustrations, submitted to Astronomical Journin.
