Astronomers ponder 'cosmic mystery' over powerful radio wave bursts

Extremely interesting research on these mysteries, it makes you feel how incomprehensively big and badly understood the universe still is.

Even small steps in understanding take a lot of work, and they get reported only as a few lines in articles, but it is understandable when immediate practical applications are not easy to see from the research.

Still good these efforts continue.

The astronomers suspect that the newly described FRB is a "newborn," still enveloped by dense material blown into space by a supernova explosion that left behind a neutron star. They said repeating bursts may be a trait of younger FRBs, perhaps dissipating over time.

This is not that new of a notion. Still, good to see that research by the Chinese is being produced and respected.

It would take more than one of the FAST telescopes mentioned in the article to put together any logical coherence in the above comment.

I sometimes wonder if we live inside a living organism and we are smaller than microscopic microbes within that world. These signals could be bodily signals like electrical impulses in our own bodies, or neurons firing in the brain. Our lives come and go within a second or less of this creatures life.

Anything is possible, we just dont know, and probably never will.

According to the people that agreed with the comment that is not the case, but still it is good to recognize you could not get the meaning even when other people could, you can always ask so the parts that were difficult for you can be explained.
