The universe is not 13 trillion years old. Only 13 billion. Also events from a galaxy 3 billion light years away are not 3 billion years old... thats due to the expansion. The observable universe has a radius of about 46 billion light years. I think the events would be something like 2.4 billion years old but maybe someone with a calculator and some maths can correct this number.

"Which means we are back to where we were a few years ago, having absolutely no idea what's going on here". That made my day.. I really like Anton's conclusions!

If I was a tiny grain sized person and I was trying to get the attention of a regular sized person, flashing a light would be a great way to communicate. So how would the normal sized person be able to recognize your flashing signals from the other 'natural' flashes of light? Without knowing if they speak the same language you might have to come up with a custom language system. And if all the things around you make flashes somewhat naturally in a pattern, you would have to make a special pattern to decode or make random flashes like something not natural compared to the things around you. I am sure they they have thought of this so I don't see how we can count out any sort of phenomenon without absolutely knowing the difference between natural and unnatural light bursts.

@@ufodeath They just made the announcement a few days ago. I think they have decided to go ahead (with funding and all that) and now their scientists are probably actively pouring over maps for remote locations within China, and will go to potential suitable locations that they have identified to measure the background radio frequency interruptions. Looking at the map of China, I can see that they may place one in Tibet (located in the West), one in Xinjiang (located in the North West), one in Inner Mongolia (located in the North), one in Shanxi province (right in the heart of China), one on the Hainan Island (located in the South East), and perhaps one in Jiangxi or Fujian province (located in the Eastern portion of China). Those are places that are relatively not developed, with fewer cars and population in surrounding areas. These are just my personal speculations, we'll wait and see. Seeing how the Chinese worked their space program, I won't be surprised to see all five new FASTs spring up like wild mushrooms before 2030.

It’s a good thing they inserted the word ‘Spherical’ into that huge Five-hundred-meter Aperture Radio Telescope’s name, because otherwise it would’ve been the F.A.R.T. instead of FAST.

Could be a neutron star or magnetar on an very elliptical orbit being devoured by a black hole where every 67 days it gets close enough to the black hole for portion of it to be consumed.

I wonder how is it possible that at a distance of 3 billion l.y. there is such low dispersion in radio signal that is stays in a millisecond time frame for us?

@absalomdraconis

2 жыл бұрын

If it's all at the same frequency, then the dispersion would all be scattering instead of differing speeds, so the bulk of the dispersion would appear to come from _other_ locations. Also, especially for very distant events, frequencies that interact strongly with the intergalactic medium are more likely to either completely disappear from scattering & absorption, or to appear as the radio equivalent of light pollution due to the extreme degree of scattering.

A managed physical particle source (magnetar) artificially triggered (bomb) to create a particle wave at a general direction where artificial transmitters are located (colonies) that are creating the bursts as information data packets forming 'gateways' that hop on the robust frequencies of the main artificial wave riding it further away in space. In simple words: someone's kicking the &hit out of these Reptilian Colonies and they collectively are trying to get the Hell Out Of Dodge.. Main gateways are blocked and they make their own by riding the focused wave of the magnetar as data packets through hyperspace to be washed ashore further away from compromised space and blocked escape routes.

Who made the renders of the galaxy at the end? That was bad ass!

How can they identify between these bursts to be able to say that there is a frequency? Is that based on the location they came from ? How precise can that location be established? Are the measurements precise enough to be able to identify possible patterns?

its surprising to listen people say graphics cards instead what actually used thing is probably multi paralel synchronous core processors which is needed for fast and parallel computing in cases like high sped or slow motion frame processing :P

Hmm, sounds like your typical meteor shower! A magnetar crossing an asteroid stream at regular intervals while orbiting some other central body. When it enters the stream, the bursts are mostly random.

I love how Anton pronounce "Aliens" as "Alliens" lol

The change in the received frequency is probably just a number of different sources. isolating them may reveal some periodicity

This is great! Radio telescopes and interferometer arrays will be giving us such a better picture of the universe, optical telescopes can only see heat and visible light, from that all the theories from big bang to dark matter have arisen. Better answers are coming.
