What are Fast Radio Bursts? | The Royal Society

- Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are short (few millisecond) bursts of radio waves observed from cosmological distances. Their origin is presently unknown, yet their rate is many hundreds per sky per day, indicating a not-uncommon phenomenon in the Universe. In this talk, Professor Kaspi reviewed the FRB field and presented new results on FRBs from a new digital transit radio telescope, the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME).
This is the Bakerian Lecture 2021 delivered by Professor Victoria Kaspi CC FRS

Is there any association of FRBs with GRBs and is there anything optically visible with the FRB repeaters?.
These are Warp signatures from warp drive ships!
Neutron Stars are my favorite class of objects in the universe. I just imagine a 1000 mile sphere turned into a crystal that has the most extreme environment in the universe. Just dropping an object waist high and it would approach the speed of light before hitting the ground!!!! Just wow. Spinning so fast you approach the speed of light if you were on the surface WHAT IN THE WORLD!! Having starquakes that well..you get the idea. They're so amazing. Thank you for the lecture. Can't wait to find out if neutron stars are responsible for GRBs.
Amazing presentation, I've learned a great deal of Physics, especially because I am a Maths aficionado 😜. Thank you. 🌷
Wow, what are Fast Radio Bursts? For a human, they're like a rabbit hoping to understand a snare trap. Victoria Kaspi from McGill university, ranked #27 globally, her husband is a cardiologist at McGill and at the Sir Mortimer B. He never misses a single episode of Steve Guttenberg's Audiophiliac on You Tube. St Andrews University in Scotland is ranked 292nd globally but recognize no better university. Michigan University is global No.17 and St Andrews has one of their people. So can we really value Vicky's research ... uh ... no. No there are unexplained things that humans cannot really take in, for example that outer space never ends.

Critical thinking and the understanding of parameters is a powerful combination. The UNknown and the power of the sound mind given by the ALLknowing. Truth is a key , and a bridge …… between the unbridgeable
Dr. Kaspi is great.
She's jewish
Wonderful talk
Really interesting. Is the “data” content of the FRBs available to the general public?
There is no data content think in terms of a powerful very short duration flash of static.
yes! The data usually says "we are space aliens from space and we are coming for your butts"
@@gck82s OK badly worded question. If one wanted to perform one’s own analysis of the raw signal, is the data describing that signal publicly available?
It's just the aliens impatiently opening their microwave ovens at lunch ;-)
Are these short bursts a resonant artifact of the antenna?
Hello Susan, how are you doing?

There was a lot about the size of a galaxy where an FRB was coming from. Why would the size be a factor? And a factor of what?
One reason, the phenomena although "common" is rare, since only a few thousand a day among the many stars in range, so "feels" logical the generating object (or object combinations) is not common. The smaller the galaxy, the smaller the variety of object combinations available to do something strange.
I wonder what the odds are of spotting an FRB in an Einstein Ring. Perhaps the great distance would disperse the burst to a huge bandwidth and a peak amplitude too near the noise floor.
Question explicitly answered about 57:57. :)
oops. I meant around 52:00 ish.
@@jimgolab536 Thank you
Is it natural - made by natural phenomenon or artificially - data carrying mechanism🤔
Not very many people are willing to run one mile above the ground and even fewer people are willing to run across the catwalk that is hanging a quarter of a mile above the concrete and if I understand correctly that is like somewhere between Thirty and forty stories between the plate and the array yes people who walked the wires of the Golden Gate Bridge would be impressed with you I know that because I have walk both the wires of the Golden Gate Bridge as well as the half mile high bridge over the Gorge excuse me it's not that I don't know how to type it's that this damn phone refuses to listen to me
nice
If we didn't have technology would we still be able to detect it?
If you didn't have a brain, would you still be able to think? Oh wait, you don't, judging by your GENIUS question
Interesting, all about where a specific pulse-evolution originates and why.., in this Eternity-now, e-Pi-i sync-duration resonances, i-reflection time-timing echo-chamber of Time.
Sounds like a wind tunnel.
What if FRB are left over emissions from a white hole?
This is for me looks like quntam communictians. Questien is when Is our civilization will be able to do it in time scale ?
what's so "quantum" about a radio wave, you morоn?
Why FRB instead of visit..
Yes, we have so advance tools so i believe you , the nature make those phenomenon , not exist civilization out there in galaxy's, we know only 5% of the Universe somewhat like that, but that does not count to draw conclusions because we are approaching to become gods, we have almost found the 'God Particle'
Then tell me how come you guys don't use AI to sift through the FRBs noise? Bit by bit? Piece by Piece? Why not use AI to look through the signals?
I think someone out there is using our tech to home on us. Like when your looking for gold. No one knows who's on the other end of the line. Until first contact !!!. Just be ready, that's all I'm saying. We live here to. 😳🥺😎
I find it strange that our scientists don't just say "we don't know", why give us a answer of what you think it could be, when in fact, you have no clue ??
I have a simpler explanation: SPACE ALIENS
*dosnt know origin of frb. Oh but its far far away* okie dokie. How do you know the frequency dispersion isnt intentionally made. Your hypothesis has more loopholes than me, If these signals are alien made then the frequency dispersion could be a desgined signal and could come from even closer. rather than it being a natural phenomenon it could be engineered which could make this signal alot closer.
