These mysterious radio bursts are so dispersed that scientists doubt they came from anything natural. This suggests that intelligent aliens might have sent them. John Learned, Professor of Physics at University of Hawaii said about the FRBs (Fast Radio bursts), “If it is real. The FRBs are very difficult to explain. Radio telescopes picked them up for the first times since 2001.. FRBs are very brief radio bursts from deep space that last only a few milliseconds. Artist’s rendering of the Parkes radio telescope at CSIRO receiving the polarised radio signal from the new fast radio burst. Although scientists don’t yet know the origin of these radio bursts, many believe they are coming from millions of light-years away from Earth. Some scientists haven’t discounted the possibility of a source that is closer to Earth. FRBs can produce extremely strong bursts of energy. Even though they only last a fraction of a second they emit more energy than what the Sun has in hours. The FRBs repeat in an unobserved pattern Astrophysicists have difficulty understanding why FRBs appear to be repeated in numbers that do not follow any laws of Physics. This is unless the FRBs were created by intelligent life. The CRISO Parkes Radio Telescope, New South Wales (Australia) captured an ‘live FRB in November 2014,. Previous ones had been detected by scientists, however they were only discovered weeks to months later. Prof. Prof. The signals come from distant sources that are several billions of light years away. They are also spaced at multiples of one another. However, the authors suggest that signals may be coming from much closer sources. Scientists speculate that FRBs may be coming from distant stars or black holes. These patterns suggest that they were created by an intelligent entity. Domainko and Learned wrote that FRBs arrive close to the whole integer second like man-made perytons. FRBs could also be made by man if this is true. It is possible to verify or disprove this by detecting new FRBs. Emily Petroff (a doctoral student at Swindurne University of Technology, Melbourne) saw the FRB live in November 2013. She said that FRBs are often discovered months, weeks or more than a decade later. “We are the first ones to capture one in real-time,” Ms. Petroff stated that one of the biggest mysteries about FRBs was their distance. Scientists believe they came from 5.5 billion light-years away from Earth. Ms. Petroff believes we can eventually find their origin. We’ve created the trap. We now have to wait until another burst falls into the trap. arXiv: 1503. 05245 [astro-ph.HE].
