Researchers have discovered a repeating radio signal originating from a single source 500 million light-years from Earth.
Researchers from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment/Fast Radio Burst Project collaboration detected a pattern of fast radio bursts occurring every 16.35 days between Sept. 16, 2018, and Oct. 30, 2019.
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are millisecond-long bursts of radio waves that come from space. Previously, researchers have observed these bursts repeating, but sporadically or in a cluster.
This FRB, which was tracked back to a massive spiral galaxy a half-billion light-years away, releases a burst or two each hour for four days before going silent for 12 days and starting the pattern over again.However, the findings, which are part of a paper, have only been moderated and not yet fully peer reviewed.
Previous research has repeatedly traced FRBs to vastly different sources, leading to more questions than answers regarding the origins of these signals.

“The discovery of a 16.35-day periodicity in a repeating FRB source is an important clue to the nature of this object,” the researchers wrote.
Further study is now needed to determine if there are patterns within other already discovered FRBs in order to see if the repetition is the exception or the rule, the researchers said.

One of the immutable rules of political correctness is that white American people in general, and white American males in particular, are apparently the only people on the planet who practice discrimination and racism. However, white American people in general, and white American males in particular, are under constant attack from people who, if the rules were applied evenly and fairly, would also be seen as vicious and virulent racists. An organization called White Lives Matter would be racist. A movement that called itself The Race would be seen as being white supremacist and separatist. If the "n" word is the most horrible word in the English language, why do so many of them use it so frequently? If someone white uses it, they're automatically considered a racist. To me, barring someone from saying or doing something because of the color of their skin is, by definition, racism, but many people don't want to know that. On and on. Whatever. Let's see how ...
