Extraterrestrial swamp gas!
[ A $100 million search for intelligent aliens has spied 15 bizarre, repeating flashes of light coming from a distant galaxy. ]
Weather balloons crashing on Mac Brazel’s ranch again. Just farther away.
$6.66 million per flashing light.
Pretty good ROI. /sarc
I have a theory (probably not original) which I call the “independence Day” theory to explain why we have not discuvered alien life. There may be a hunter-type alien that just lurks until it picks up emissions that signal intelligent life. It then swarms the people who sent the signal and destroys them. If and when SETI discovers a more effective way to transmit intelligent signals, you KNOW that no one will have the discipline to NOT broadcast, even though it is likely that those receiving the signal are far more advanced than us. Alien life could sprout up all over the universe, but once they get to the point where they can broadcast in space, they get gobbled up.
light flashes ? ...dude...step away from the mushrooms
Brilliant men bumbling around the three billion year old dark of outer space.....
Meanwhile, research on diabetes, cancer aging illnesses and starvation are on the back burner.....
Put all space research onto the private sector (it will die), space flight in the military punch bowl and let origins be a philosophical discussion over folks favorite beverages....
So called “science” at work again. On the taxpayers dollar.
Was the light coherent, or non-coherent? Because that obvious question was not addressed, the answer can only be that the light was non-coherent and not created by any ET.
Some alien trying out his new LED flashlight.
After every other hypothesis had proven wrong, go to aliens, but that should be at the back of the queue.
So, if it is 3 billion light years away and the 15 bizarre, repeating flashes of light, that means this is one of two things, either the light was signaled 3 billion years ago, for light travels at the speed of light,
OR, as I believe,
The Bible is true and this claim is BULL DUNG.
Maybe these are the residual lights from alien weapons as they wiped themselves out as a species 3 billion years ago...
Because getting a message delivered in 3 billion years is practical.
The speed of light is useless for communications outside of a star system let alone a galaxy.
Time to send them back signals that translate to the first chapter of Hillary’s new book. Once they receive it in billions of years, they will conclude that there’s no intelligent life on Earth, and spare us.
All that money for a few people to maintain a hobby.....One more reason why the founding fathers said no to a tax on income.
It’s nice to know that we’re not the only ones who forget to cancel the turn signal.
It says “Stop playing with that light switch!”
There are no space faring races.
Life, almost certainly.
Intelligent species, maybe.
But those that cross interstellar distances, I don’t think so or they would have colonized the cosmos by now.
