These 15 radio bursts (probably) aren't from aliens either.

Distant galaxy sends out 15 high-energy radio bursts

http://news.berkeley.edu/2017/08/30/distant-galaxy-sends-out-15-high-energy-radio-bursts/

 

"...more than 150 high-energy bursts have been observed coming from the object, which was identified last year as a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light years from Earth."

 

150...!??!!  Surely this is a typo?  

 

 

 

Anyway, you can download and listen to nine sound files of the bursts, here...

Yes, interesting. I know a theorist who seems to specialize in these FRB's (fast radio bursts). I'll have to give him a hollar and see what his latest opinions are.

 

To put the timeline of these FRB's in perspective, three billion light years distant means the bursts occurred about 3 billion years ago. During the time of these bursts only viruses and single celled life existed on Earth. It took another billion years after these bursts for multi-cellular life to evolve on Earth.
