Eldorado Posted February 9, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2020 "Scientists are baffled by a mysterious object 500 million light years away that is transmitting signals that hit Earth every 16 days. "Although scientists do not know what is causing the phenomenon, they are recognising it as the first reliable pattern of fast radio bursts in deep space. "Such signals have been a source of confusion for scientists since they were first discovered in 2007, as up until now, none of the fast radio bursts studied had exhibited any sort of steady tempo."

Damien99 Posted February 9, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) This is scary, Whatever is causing it is coming towards us now. What ever it is may be coming to hurt us Edited February 9, 2020 by Damien99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien99 Posted February 9, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Isn’t that what radio waves are. Is detecting something coming in the same direction . He we have radio waves which we can’t explain? Edited February 9, 2020 by Damien99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habitat Posted February 9, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2020 There are radio signals, and there are radio signals. No mention of the characteristics other than the interval between them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why some galaxies are called "radio galaxies". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_galaxy 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really understand radio signals, from my understanding whatever is sending them our way is also coming in our direction same as they are? plus whatever is doing this every 16 days is something coming we are detecting as it gets closer every 16 days?

It's Moron of Kobol sending a message to Urantia from the blond haired blue eyed, space alien Jesus Bunny.........or is it Santa Christ?

We have neutrinos events we don’t get, gravitational events we don’t get, and now radio waves we don’t get, I am not sure what any means f this means but we have different un-understood events hitting us? i am stating what I understand and if I am wrong then please correct me 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frequency Modulation travels in a straight line. Amplitude Modulation bounces around but they come from a source moving or staying still in any direction. If I'm on my radio talking to another medic or cop, I'm not heading toward them 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the crackle you hear on the AM band when there are storms around. Back in the day it was a good way of telling whether there were storms about, but you could not see directly. Today you can look at weather radars etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerBright19 Posted February 9, 2020 #21 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Probably our own radio signals being reflected back towards us. Might help us to measure the size of the Universe.

Damien99 Posted February 9, 2020 #22 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I am just to stupid to understand radio signals And for some reason i ask for it to be explained and I get made fun of, I am sorry that I am just trying to get it.

bison Posted February 9, 2020 #24 Share Posted February 9, 2020 It's probably not from a Pulsar. The slowest of these repeats at the rate of 23 & 1/2 minutes. Likely not a Magnetar, either. These highly magnetic neutron stars spin and repeat their radio emissions in even shorter periods of time. It could be star going around a black hole or massive star, with an orbital period of 16.35 days. The mechanism that produces these huge bursts of energy isn't clear. Either body might be having matter pulled away from it and triggering bursts of fusion on its companion's surface. As they revolve around one another, the bursts point in our direction every 16 days, give or take a couple of days. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s something coming towards us, as I mentioned high neutrinos are hitting us we don’t know why, gravitation waves are hitting us recently we don’t know why and now radio ways are bombarding us we don’t k ow why. so these waves and the others mean something may be coming to hit us.
