So, it demonstrates that these alium hunter projects can sometimes find something interesting, even if it isn't aliums.

>>9138980
Tuh, that's what you think

Even if it was aliens they are probably dead. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, and 3 billion lightyears means it took 3 billion light years to get here. Plus dwarf stars jave been shown to emit radio waves before so it could just be the star and not aliens. I'm not saying it's impossible, just unlikely.

LMAO

>radio technology 3 billion years ago
they're long dead

>>9138967

I find it highly improbable that a signal sent by an extraterrestrial civilization managed to travel 3 billion light years while at the same time mantaining its detectebility to modern Human technology.

>>9139116
maybe they're long here.

Why are you all so cynical? Don't you want to make contact with aliens?

>>9138967
how old is this fake news?

>>9140245
I also want your sister to suck me off but that's about as likely as humanity contacting aliens.

Accelerating at 1g halfway, then decelerating at 1g, you could visit the ancient ruins, but it still takes 42 years ship time one way.

>tfw will never live enough to ever receive something intentionally sent to us by aliens since it will take billions of years until they become aware of our existence due to the radio signals emitted by us

At least I hope we reach a time in my lifetime where we start hearing the first radio signals by an ancient alien civilization. After the first "true" signal happens it's very likely for us to get more signals daily. Still highly unlikely but still possible.

>>9138980

An ancient signal could still be encoded with useful information even if there is no way to go there. Have you never seen Contact?

this is why you learn combinatorics kids

Technologically speaking, we are pretty fucking close to space exploration and humans are quite young.

inb4 it's alien spurdos.

>>9138967
It's probably just a burst from some star, pulsar, deskstar, black hole, magnetar, whatever with some weird orbit or eccentricty.

>>9140602
>we are pretty fucking close to space exploration
Nope.

>>9141664
This. Every time some physicists somewhere detect a signal and aren't immediately able to explain how it was generated, you can guarantee at least one trashy tabloid will run an OMG ALIENS CONFIRMED story because they know retards like OP will swallow it up every time.

The only way we'd get there is if it was Andromeda, which we will intersect with, but that distance means it isn't.

>>9139105
For us, at best, that was the ping handshake for their inter-universe internet protocol. Otherwise, its an intergalactic internet.

>>9139116
You misunderstand one thing. The amount of power needed to make that sort of broadcast can only be done by harnessing the power of a star. No other smaller power level will reach very far in space let along from another galaxy. There's a chance that was their first signal and we are in for a ticket to watching their civilization as their intergalactic internet takes shape.

That literally can't happen at our tech level.

>>9138967
so is this a 3 billion year old signal that came from a long extinct sentient alien race?

>>9142966
no, just a strikingly uniform set of radio waves. It is more likely to be any number of astronomical bodies engaged in some event rather than an advanced alien species.

>>9142977
If im not mistaken, I don't think they actually know of any viable natural sources for FRBs in general
