For about four days, the radio waves would arrive at random. Then, for the next 12, nothing.
Then, another four days of haphazard pulses. Followed by another 12 days of silence.
The pattern—the well-defined swings from frenzy to stillness and back again—persisted like clockwork for more than a year.
Dongzi Li, a doctoral student at the University of Toronto, started tracking these signals in 2019. She works on a Canadian-led project, CHIME, that studies astrophysical phenomena called “fast radio bursts.” These invisible flashes, known as FRBs for short, reach Earth from all directions in space. They show up without warning and flash for a few milliseconds, matching the radiance of entire galaxies.

Let's respond! Then we'll wait 500 million years for an answer! That's about when the Kung-Flu will be over... according to Doctor Death Fauci.

FTA: "Maybe the object is spinning and wobbling in such a way that its light points toward Earth only every four out of 16 days, which, from our perspective, would look like periodic bursts. "
My first thought. I'm surprised that The Atlantic cares about this. I was waiting for a Trump blast.

The top diagram in the article depicts one perfectly normal pulse of a human’s electrocardiograph. May be Dongzi Li has a heart throb problem that rears its head periodically?

It's just from a distant alien planet. They wonder about leftism and America's self-destruction.

Maybe the FRBs are just our earth's screams of chaos bouncing back from the dome of heaven. Or, as our kids wish' who were born during the original Star Wars films, there will be a re-make of Aliens. Attn above Ldotters: we crack us up!

I love it when you post articles like this, OP. The universe is vast, indeed, and it’s mysteries even more so. There is no such thing as “settled science” and everything we “know” is only as good as the next discovery.

When they arrive, we can offer up the Antifa and BLM people. Once the aligns realize how screwed up they are, the will leave for ever.

Cosmic train. 12 days being loaded, and 4 days traveling. :-)
Hopefully the researchers have verified the source isn't somewhere on our planet even though they say it is 500 million light years away. How large is our universe by the way? Are we hearing something outside our universe? The article also says the FRBs come from all directions. What if our universe exists inside an even larger 'structure' or universe?
People like to use science to prove God does not exist. That can cut both ways. People can also use science to prove God does exist. Science can be used to provide more insight into the nature of God. God created us. The first question should then be 'Why?'.

I think most of the stuff we hear from astronomers is b.s. I believe a lot of what they 'discover' is designed to garner funding from any source they can tap. How often have we heard they discovered a new galaxy a million light years from earth - where one light yer equals approx 5.8 trillion miles. Multiply that by 1 million?? Does the Hubble Telescope really see that far out. Makes one wonder...

I am not an atheist ....
“Your question is the most difficult in the world. It is not a question I can answer simply with yes or no. I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's Pantheism. I admire even more his contributions to modern thought. Spinoza is the greatest of modern philosophers because he is the first philosopher who deals with the soul and the body as one, not as two separate things.”

I for one will welcome our new FRB earthly Masters.
Can't be any worse than the Ruling Class incompetents we have now.

#8- Respectfully suggest caution and study when it comes to “the rapture.” For example, Reverend J. N. Darby resigned from the Church of Ireland in 1827 claiming he discovered a secret doctrine in the Bible calling his new teaching the “Rapture.” Most mainline religions consider this heretical teaching. Recorded in John 5:25-29, Jesus describes two resurrections: a spiritual resurrection and a bodily resurrection. Jesus says, “…an hour is coming and NOW is, when the dead shall hear…” The first resurrection happens NOW. “Hearing” the voice of Jesus in Baptism (Romans 6:4-5; Colossians 2:12) or preaching of the Gospel (Colossians 3:1), that new spiritual life is received NOW. “This is our first resurrection, a spiritual resurrection from sin’s deadly effects.”
The second resurrection, of the body, will happen in the future when Christ returns on Judgment Day and “all who are in tombs shall hear His voice, and shall come forth.” (John 5:28-29). Revelation 20:5 “teaches that Christ resurrects us NOW spiritually and will raise us up bodily when He returns for the Last Judgment.”
The teaching that a “rapture” will not take place on the last day but during an “invisible” coming of Christ before a seven-year “tribulation” on earth that allows Christians to escape that tribulation and later return to earth for a literal “1000 year reign of Christ” in not based on a proper understanding of Scripture. Scripture teaches that “All Christians will endure varying degrees of “tribulation” until the last day, that Christ will return only once (visibly) to “catchup” (“rapture”) all believers, living and dead, into heaven, and that all believers will reign forever with him in heaven.”

That must be why I involuntarily sculpted the mashed potatoes on my plate last night to look like Devil's Tower.
