Scientists have discovered a 10 millisecond-long “fast radio bursts”, coming from deep in space, and have been left baffled as to where it is coming from. A new study has revealed that these mysterious radio signals are sometimes sent out in a repetitive pattern – leading some experts to hypothesise that they may be encoded alien messages. Independent.co.uk reports: Scientists have heard a long, repeated sound from deep in space — and nobody is sure where it is coming from. The finding adds to other strange discoveries about the fast radio bursts that seem to indicate that there may be something unusual causing them. Scientists said last year that some of the messages appear to be coming in a pattern — one that could even be created by alien technology. The new research sheds little new light on what exactly is causing the messages. But it does offer perplexing questions about what sort of source could be emitting them. “”We’re showing that whatever battery drives FRBs, it can recharge in minutes,” said James Cordes, an astronomy professor at Cornell University, in a statement. “The energy of the event becomes very problematic. We’re detecting these FRBs from very far away, which [...]
