Thanks to modern technology, we’re having a great time discovering new mysteries about the cosmos . As soon as we think we’ve figured one out, nature will throw us another curve ball just to keep things interesting.

Just wait until two branes collide (look that up). It’ll become very interesting.

[LouieFisk]

Radio noise from space. How novel.

[Obadiah]

Yeah, I always find this curious. There is a lot of collisions and movement in the grand universe. How is it novel that there is sound emtited if you have the correct listening device?

[dfwgator]

“Send More Chuck Berry!”

[DoodleBob]

Let's just get this out of the way early.

[who knows what evil?]

Bkmrk.

[Common Sense 101]

So, you’re a Democrat?

[Bullish]

Well, that sure makes a lot more sense than Aliens.

[LouieFisk]

I think it’s something like pareidolia, where you lay back and look up at the clouds and think of how they look like cows,houses, trains, etc.
Your AM radio is producing odd sounds. Is it your neighbors microwave or is ET calling to let you know he wants to borrow your bike?

[Wilhelm Tell]

My brane hurts!

[PIF]

Potential explanations have ranged from supernovae to aliens (which, sorry, is extremely unlikely).

Given that there are between 100 and 400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets in this galaxy, alien life is extremely likely, intelligent life also likely, star-fairing intelligent life also. But not necessarily carbon based or organic.

[Dr. Sivana]

Just in ... several signals bouncing around the galaxy have been effectively received and deciphered!

"Say goodnight, Gracie."

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?"

"Jack Armstrong! Jack Armstrong! The All-American Boy."

"Mr. District Attorney, Champion of the People!"

[Diana in Wisconsin]

[6ppc]

You are playing brane games!👽

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks BenLurkin.

“Be sure to drink your Ovaltine”

[Nateman]

Imagine taking a chunk of lead and smashing it into it’s anti-matter opposite. The field strength of a Magnatar has 10000 times more energy per cubic inch than that.

[Robert DeLong]

Probably just an echo effect. 8>)

[Stosh]

Thanks for suggesting that we look up brane theory.

I was especially gratified to find out there are p-branes. I had suspected that for a long time.
