Pulsar?
RESPOND TO IT!
“Hello, Earth? We’ve been trying to get in contact with you about your local star’s extended warranty…”
Every new signal defy explanation for a little while, until it’s explained.
Apparently not yet, astronomers are still waiting for the signal to repeat to appropriately study it.
METI president Douglas Vakoch told Die Welt that any putative SETI signal detections must be replicated for confirmation, and the lack of such replication for the Wow! signal means it has little credibility.[3
For now there are just guesses. If such burst isn’t a fluke and repeats, astronomers will get a chance to better study it and provide a confident explanation.
when it can write out pi in a pule we will know peeps. we will know.
Well, if it’s been running for a long time, it’s up to some random point in pi and we missed the start. But we can still try to interpret the signal as digits, and check if this sequence appears anywhere in pi… Well what do you know, it does!
(disclaimer: it has never been proven that π has this property, but it is suspected)
never been proven
Don’t worry we can check the library of babel for the answer.
Then they find out it’s the the low battery warning on a carbon monoxide detector under the stairs of the emergency exit.
