Fast Radio Bursts Get Weirder Still

Just out in Science magazine is a report of a new fast radio burst localized in a large and very distant galaxy. This is the 2nd FRB that has been localized, and the 1st was found in a small star-forming galaxy. The latter led to theories and models (magnetars) that are now called into serious question by the newer results. Science rarely profits from single data-point theories, if you get my drift.

Here is a decent summary of the report:

Cosmic waves discovery could unlock mysteries of intergalactic space

If you want to know the real explanation of the mysterious and ubiquitous FRBs, 20 years or so beore astrophysicists finally figure them out, here you go:
