Re: Earth receiving mysterious radio signals
#12This is very interesting paper that just came out last week. So they found fast radio bursts (FRB) to have DMs (Dispersion Measure) that are in perfect multiplication with integers to a constant. This was supposed to be bit more random and so these being in such order is very surprising and unlikely to be just coincidence. Only 11 FRBs are found so far which might also means source of signal is not all around. On the…
jesus... i hate that people can say whatever they want here and be bumped to the top. spreading idiocy isn't helpful. stay quiet.
"perfect multiplication with integers to a constant"...
first off... it was 187.5... not an integer. 2nd... it wasn't "perfect" in any way... the measurement points fell STATISTICALLY on the 187.5 multiplier line, but some were well off the line, and others high or low.
pulsars in a system with fast orbiting planets currently inline with earth could explain such patterns.
you are unlikely to be an astronomer. on the downside, you don't seem to care.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
Because once upon a time, we were each a hell of an engineer.
Could Elon Musk have launched something with SpaceX that is faking these signals, so he could fax down plans for Tesla's new teleporter to be unveiled at the end of the month? Conspiracy hat engaged.
Brings up a good point, I bet when vega sends us the blueprints then SpaceX will most likely win the contract..

Re: Earth receiving mysterious radio signals
#16The paper is much more conservative than the article about it. They're saying that the close relationship between the signal and the human-made second, plus the fact that most of these signals were observed at one particular telescope, suggests strongly that it's a local, human source.
"Paper doesn't rule out aliens" isn't a particularly strong statement. I've read many papers that don't rule out aliens, dragons OR unicorns.

correlation with terrestrial time standards seems
to nearly clinch the case for human association of these
peculiar phenomena."
It's just from the latest NSA microwave oven.
