10,000 Fast Radio Bursts Per Day!
Apparently something we do not understand, and have not yet
identified, lurks throughout the cosmos. Read all about it: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0710111527.htm RLO [Mod. note: reformatted -- mjh] |

Read all about it: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0710111527.htm For a popular, press-release style description, this is quite good. I know four of the authors personally and have no reason to doubt that this is a real discovery. This might be a bit more interesting than usual, but it is really bread-and-butter science. Many, if not most, scientists (at least in pure research) in their day-to-day work deal with things we do not understand. In fact, one could almost define science as the process by which we learn to understand things which we did not understand. Also, it is often the case that something is first discovered via some sort of radiation (essentially all that astronomers have to work with) and only later (though perhaps quite quickly, in some cases) does a theoretical model emerge---pulsars and QSOs are obvious examples. So, yes, interesting and perhaps more intriguing than most such discoveries, but nothing really bizarre. |
