Thanks Ben. I really like your even handed approach to unexplained phenomena. Some folks want to cram an explanation in where it doesn't fit just to get on with the podcast. I appreciated your willingness to say 'we don't know' and talking about what it would take to find out. - Hope you get AC soon. It's 105 degrees F here and when the AC goes down it's treated as a life-threatening emergency.
Love the LOST reference at the end. Reminds me of Hurley finding Desmond in the jungle and being like; " So, there was a big flash of light and it blew all your clothes off?" ( or something like that) lol! Nice video! Cool channel! Keep it up!
Thanks for your well stated exposition. I'm reminded of the following quote attributed to Isaac Asimov. "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That’s funny …'”
Ben, try a fan. Uses much less energy. If you want the physics, note that in still air you develop a layer of air around you that heats up from your body heat. The fan will dissipate it so heat will flow from you to the air faster due to the larger temperature difference. It will also facilitate evaporative cooling - even if you aren't palpably sweating, your skin leaks moisture all the time. You can also wear less clothing (perhaps not while making a video). If you're really annoyed by the heat, soak a t-shirt, wring it out, and wear it in front of a fan. Evaporative cooling works surprisingly well even in pretty high relative humidities. Mammals have been using it for more than 200 million years - go for it.
Ah it’s from the aliens who visited earth 15000 years ago. They then nipped home, turned on the big “Here we are” signal, gave us long enough to develop the tech to detect it and are now well on their way back to ask what we think of it. Great video, love your stuff
creators like you help me keep going and do physics even though I'm a biotechnologist. could have just said gpm and gleam :p ..Loved it (new subscriber)
Wet a flannel under the cold tap and lay this on your scalp, rinse and repeat should the flannel warm up again. It's amazing just how well this works on a very hot day. I did this in June when it was unbearably hot here, and found myself shivering pleasantly after a while.
Hi Ben, if amateur astrophotographers were to try and observe that region of the sky what sort of exposure periods would you require? Bear in mind to get a good deep sky image you may need an exposure of at least 1 hour on a 25mp camera through a 70mm scope. Are the exact RA coordinates of thew signal known? If you got a few hundred photographers taking data from those coordinates over a period of months something may blink.
Not knowing anything about physics, I speculate that this is a neutron star in a tight orbit around another celestial object. The orbital trajectory of the neutron star moves its signal away from our line of sight for most of time.
If it's a pulsar, we have to calculate it's timing by General relativity and take into account red and blue shifts as well as investigate what could possibly be causing any discrepencies in the regularity of timing for signal appearance. Since we can't definitively identify the potential anomalies for pattern interference, it seems prudent to investigate less convoluded explanations for this signal phenomenon.
It is beyond me why we think that extraterrestrial life must be friendly and will share all their knowledge with us, trying to contact them might just be the last mistake we ever make.
An amateur astronomer could study it with a cheap radio telescope, but the resolution would be so terrible that the data might not be very useful. Radio astronomy can be slow because it requires enormous telescopes to do it well.
Can a rotating object precess in such a way that it rotates rapidly, but the plane of rapid rotation is constantly rotating around a second axis which is itself rotating perpendicular to that of the main/fast rotation? The slow rotation would be with a period of 22 min or be related to that. Earth would receive a pulse only when both axes line up the beam toward us. In other words, can the object be pulsing rapidly, but most pulses are not directed toward us due to a complex tumbling so we miss them?
At 2:49, i thought magnetic fields only cause acceleration perpendicular to its motion? The magnitude of the velocity vector is unchanged, just the individual components change. Wouldn't this mean the particles were already near the speed of light?
What a hell of a topic I've been driving for miles... Once in awhile in a coffee shop... Someone turns and looks... And says they can't hear us isn't this weird
Couldn't it be a bog standard pulsar with orbiting companion bodies? If the radio emissions at the poles are not aligned with Earth, it could be that we only detect signals when they're reflected or lensed by other bodies. With multiple orbiting bodies having different orbital periods the composite reflections that we do see will appear in different and seemingly random configurations each time, but with a consistent interval of the signal generally.
Could you have two pulsars that are slow-moving, but whose fields collide due to opposite rotations in that collisions, you get a magnetic field great enough to generate charged particles. This would make it suspectable from other interactions and would possibly fit the 22-minute cycle as well as the variations in output. That's my best theory after watching this. Thoughts?
How about a black hole or magnetar orbiting through a pulsar's wobbly beam - acting a bit like a glass sphere in front a torch (a.k.a. "flashlight" to the Colonials)...? 😀
One example of how smart humans are... Walking through a 99 cent store who are smart enough not to realize the misnomer on their sign. I saw a 35 dollar bag of dog food..

Do people have enough courage and wisdom to be communal and altruistic in the right way?.... In effect be representation of cognitive life?
Ok, this signals can't be a pulsars with a slow rotation, but is there a possibility, that the signals are just blocked periodically, for example through a planet or another object, which rotates around the pulsar?
Puzzle one puzzle piece that fits..... Those guys out there don't need suns for heat... They have space stations everywhere... How do the guys in our space stations managed to survive without freezing or burning up.....? They have a comfort zone where it should be impossible....

Most glib humans who have this somehow cloaked eye of vision don't think in the box that much.... While embracing dogmatic beliefs
Yes it has to be natural. Everything turns out to be. Aliens are not real. Life can not reach the "interstellar space faring stage" Fuck I'm tired of reading morons in comments.
If you go a mere 3.7 billion miles away from our home and turn the camera around you see the tiniest Sagan dot as your subject: point is, diffusion and dissemination of any signal, light or radio, must be, simple mechanics has it, completely non-existent/unintelligible after the smallest astronomical (big here is not big in space) distance between generator (natural or by 'intelligent' life) and random radial receiver(s). So, Mr. Fermi, associative logic tells us the size of Milky Way and with the number of stars in it tells there are a great deal of chemical reactions similar/equal to 'humans' ('worlds'), the simple, obvioius problem of them making themselves known to us and vice versa is a sticky wickett of large expanses between locations of technically advanced 'beings'. Physics has only so many laws that are also sticky wicketts. :)

It's funny how we tip toe around the obvious life in space not just in the mirror and visiting this planet.... surreptitiously figuring out how things work out there molecularly... somehow obtaining lots of money to do this....
"...or about every 22 minutes, a signal reliably arrives. Except for occasionally, it doesn't." Then that is not reliable. Not a good way to start a video...
"Every 22 minutes something sends us a signal". What is the evidence that it is sent (rather than just emitted) or that it is directed at us? Or is your wording just unscientific?
Regardless of whether there’s an explanation, the information is interesting. Who knows what the cause of this event is…that’s the whole point of science…discovery.
Wow, pretty cartoons, as all things “space” actually are. PhD’s that believe cartoons are real things and places is so hilarious. Hmmmm is it possible that radio signals that No one can verify are just complete bullshit? But trust 👆guy bc he has credentials n stuff.
If there's a radio signal which keeps heading towards earth for every 22 minutes since 1988. Then it could be our fellow companions who travelled light years before us. They may have found our next habitable planet. We may need to go and find them and travel into interstellar space. It could take light years to find them. Or hopefully there are close by.

This shows a need for the ecosystem of survey telescopes between Rubin's large rapid surveys...and the long single narrow long exposures

Thank you, Dr. Miles, for admitting scientists don't know. Only a true professional would do this.
You should suggest that these JWST to spend a couple hours looking at it.
Really makes ya think.
You forgot to mention in that captivating story was which star constellation or at least i missed it if you did.

Truth is... "we ain't found s***" - Spaceballs
Is it possible for a short wave radio with a large antenna to receive these signals.? what is the frequency of the R.F. of the star?
Is this signal available online?
