Something Billions of Light Years Away Releases More Energy Than 3 Days of Sunlight in 0.001 Seconds

[00:00:00]In 0.001 seconds, a burst of radio energy reaches Earth from billions of light-years away, releasing more energy than the Sun produces in 3 days. It happens thousands of times a day. Fast radio bursts, first detected November 2007 by Duncan Lorimer at Parkes Observatory, Australia. The signal had been waiting 6 years to be found.

[00:00:24]Over 600 cataloged sources traced up to 8 billion light-years away. Each one brighter than an entire galaxy for a millisecond. One source is repeated over 1,000 times. Magnetars are the leading explanation. Magnetar models cannot explain the repeating pattern.

[00:00:41]Compressing 3 days of solar energy into a millisecond repeatedly requires a physical process that has not been identified. Astrophysicists confirm the energy, the repetition, the distance.

[00:00:54]The mechanism is still unknown.

[00:00:57]Something out there keeps firing. We cannot explain what it is.
