19 More ‘Fast Radio Bursts’ Found

October 10th, 2018

Via: Space:

A huge haul of newfound fast radio bursts (FRBs) may help astronomers finally start to get a handle on these mysterious and powerful blasts from deep space.

A new study reports the detection of 19 previously undiscovered FRBs, including the closest one to Earth and the brightest one ever seen. The results boost the total tally significantly; just three dozen or so FRBs had been known previously, with the first detection coming in 2007.

FRBs are brief (millisecond-long) but intense emissions of radio light, which can pack as much energy as our own sun produces over the course of nearly a century. Their source is the topic of much discussion and debate. For example, some researchers have suggested that FRBs could be generated by advanced alien civilizations, though most astronomers favor natural explanations, such as fast-spinning neutron stars.

    Discovering Plasma Cosmology and Electric Universe Theory can’t help but be exciting to anyone interested in space. So many observations coming in now from space craft, telescopes, satellites etc., don’t match up to current theories—so bogus placeholders like dark matter/energy have to be invented to try and keep up appearances.

    Electricity drives everything, from galactic rotation to solar flares to hurricanes.

    About half way down this Wikipedia entry, an FRB detected in 2015 was speculated to have possibly come from a Pulsar:
    “According to the scientists, the data support an origin in a young rotating neutron star (pulsar)”

    Professor of electrical engineering Donald Scott explains how what has been observed with Pulsars can be explained very simply as the signature of a relaxation oscillator—at minute 13:
