Fast Radio Bursts are exactly what they sound like. They're highly energetic bursts of radio waves that last mere milliseconds. And they're totally random.
Because of how elusive they are, scientists are still trying to explain this weird phenomena. But thanks to new telescopes like CHIME in Canada, we're getting closer to the solution to this science mystery.

FRBs are random and hard to catch, and theories for what causes them have literally outnumbered the number of FRBs found at one point. Explanations for FRBs include colliding neutron stars or colliding black holes, burping magnetars, neutron stars being jostled by nearby black holes, supernovas, and, of course, aliens.

As many have pointed out, the Small Magellanic Cloud is not 3 billion light years away. I should have said "In the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud." So apologies.
Lately, my nose has been detecting F.A.R.T's. And in I think I'm getting sick because, wow, they are radiating a strong signal.
I was about to point out the same thing. Anyway, great video Joe, as always.
No worries. :)
Polarization is about the angle of orientation the waves travel.
@ metaphor for modern society?
"It can cook a whole water buffalo in 45 seconds"
"45 seconds!? but I want it now..."
Mmmmm, instant water buffalo...
What about a moose? Could we use this for feeding festivals?
it will cook Buffalo Wings in under 1 sec, but you have to wait a few minutes for them to cool down.
The new Galactic Showtime Rotisserie.. Just set it and forget it!
@@kelpengineer5303 - I totally read/heard that in Homer Simpson's "donut" voice 😂
Ah yes,Aussie's,we build giant pieces of equipment to listen to our lunch.
Pingo ...
popty ping 😊
It is worth it if lunch has some good stories
It was probably New Zealand tech, but Australia stole that too! (kidding!!!)
That’s why they call it The Dish
So a black hole emits a really strong signal when it eats a neutron star? I will call it a burp then.
Fast Radio Burp
Interesting 👏
Fast Radio Burp.Hillarious?
Brisk, Unplanned, Radio, Propagation = BURP.
And then you learn this same even may cause the end of the world. God damn it!

So you're saying, aliens have also microwave ovens? 🤔
They are busy warming up our next adventure...seasoned with curiosity 😂
He's not saying it's aliens, but...
Nah - intergalactic law only allows for a religous exemption re. the banned use of microwave ovens for humans as it is considered a big part of our ethnic heritage...
Also they love hotpockets
Hotpocket... 🎵🎶
It could be that some alien at an intergalactic truck stop wanted his microwave burrito now, and opened the door before the microwave was done.
The tangent cam is essential to your success! Admit it!😁
It's all about the profile.
The microwave anecdote reminds me of a story from the TV station I used to work at. Apparently every weekday at about the same time they'd get massive hit of interference in the 4am Days or our Lives feed. After much troubleshooting, an engineer outside having a smoke realized the truck that delivered food to the cafeteria would park right next to the satellite dish. It was the truck's engine starting up after the delivery was complete causing the interference.
"Because 2.4 GHz is the exact same frequency..." AS WIFI! "...as microwave ovens." DAMMIT!
Same here ;)
That too, but WiFi is banned in radio quiet zones and you're gonna have a lot harder time hiding a constantly emitting signal compared to a microwave that only emits a signal occasionally. (Microwaves were also banned but someone snuck one in)
What I was thinking too. 😂
Microwaves ate the reason why the 2.4GHz Band has been defined ISM and is free to use. No commercial interest because it's way too noisy!
And my cordless phone set is 2.4gHz.
FRBs are warp signatures. Obviously, ;)
warp core breaches maybe
@@LukeCampbellBrennan Considering how many we see, and how many that actually implies, I hope not. Also, that would imply that FTL capable civilisations have existed for most of the lifetime of the Universe
Yeah sure why not I'm down for that reasoning. Heck haven't they said the alcubierre-white drive would use up the mass of Jupiter to work. I don't know what I'm saying but yes warp drives.
@@kamenwaticlients yeah, our *current* working theory and equations require the mass-energy equivalent to Jupiter, but it used to be a lot more. Like, the mass-energy of the entire galaxy. So, this means we could potentially keep refining the equations more and more until it takes a more practical amount of energy. The only problem, though, is I can never find out how many times c and what travel distance would require this much. Because, obviously, traveling at lower speeds or over shorter distances would require less energy.
Personally, I'm putting my money on some sort of FTL drive that simply increases the speed of light in an envelope around your ship, rather than one which warps spacetime.
@@TheSefirosu200x That is an interesting idea. I have also wondered about the compress and expand of space time in this drive idea. Is the speed a cumulative thing like acceleration in a plane or does space time have to be compressed and expanded at ftl speeds and if it's this what machine cam operate at that speed
Alien ships exiting warp, that's what it is. On stop, Alcubierre drive would emit insane burst of energy.
man
If so one wouldn't expect this phenomenon to be random though. There should be places where they concentrate.
2:24 short and powerful huh? reminds me of a dwarf I once knew...
Once knew sexually.
or the duration and intensity of a fart i once blew...
do you mean simon
So i'm not the only one rapidly pressing their space bar trying to pause on that image? good to know :P
No it’s just Gimli trolling.
"Notorious FRB" should be your white rap name
@@stevenutter3614 because it Makes it funnier
"...Notorious FRB..."/white rapper - Damn, I was just gonna say that, man; you beat me to it! When did you post that?
Oh...
I've been watching Joe for only a short time but he is ,by far, one of the most interesting and informative channels on here.I hope you have a long and healthy run here on UA-cam.Maybe one day you'll have you're own tv Show.With all the crap on tv these days you'll be a breath of fresh air.
That's very nice man, thank you! I do have plans to create content for all these up and coming online streaming platforms in the next few years.
I really enjoy how you make these videos fun, without necessarily mocking the scientifice process or community.
Thank you for this one and looking forward to the next one!
"Science is like opening the microwave door before the bell goes off" ~Joe Scott
No - it's more like microwaving aluminum foil to see what happens
I always open the microwave before the bell goes off. The button broke off.
I appreciate how you take very very complex subjects and explain them so that even a dummy like me can understand. Thanks. I know if I tried to read about this in a textbook it would be completely out of my range. Textbooks can make basket weaving out of range, but you make it understandable. So, again, thanks.
Notorious FRB........sounds like a new rapper
2.4 Ghz? Maybe alien WiFi? Neeaaa, they must have 5G by now 😎.
Fun fact! 5G is really harmful. I recommend you Google it (and spread the word, please). Scientists advise against 5G it for the sake of human life and other animal's. It also doesn't send the waves as far as 4G, so we will need towers every 100 meters or so. But even though its deadly and will likely kill more than we know yet, gov.s still want to do it anyway...
@@lauraholmes9353 bro what's next? 6G causing real life Oblivion Crisis?
The real question is... smooth or crunchy? And straight from the jar..Really joe! Moved on from pumpkin seeds?
I've got 2 dogs. Something has to keep them quiet while I'm recording.
"the Small Magellanic Cloud which is 3 billion light years away". NO! It is 199,000 light years. 3B light years would put it well outside our supercluster, (insert facepalm :P )!
For real?
@@BenTheSkipper yes, the SMC is a satellite galaxy of the Milky way.
@@BenTheSkipper i can see how he made the mistake, it's a scripting error, as the 3b light year figure is used later on. It's an easy mistake to make, done it myself 🤣
I think the distance was to the subject and the SMC was the direction it was in. And it just got gloopy
@@sommerjean7698 No, there are FRBs coming from near the SMC as well.
To the dude that left the comment about the cup, why don't you start a UA-cam channel and welcome others into your life so we can criticize you. It's easy to criticize someone from the safety of internet anonymity. Joe puts in some work and does well researching and making his videos entertaining and informative.
Anyone can be criticized don't act like anyone is fucking void from it.
@@viveka2994 ok
vivec the not false god Wouldn't that mean that their comment is valid because it's a criticism of a criticism?
@@professorpancakes6545 No, it's not criticism, it's just blatant whining, it's the excuse that they should make a youtube channel instead of criticizing. It invalidates the criticizer.
@@viveka2994 ok
Plot twist: those bursts come from thanos snapping his fingers.
Beatnik thanos
When I saw foreshadowing, I was like "that's a cringy weird insert". Then I saw the callback and my jaw dropped at how things just clicked without Joe even finishing his sentence! That was a brilliant moment. Nice edit! It's like that feeling you get from indie films where you'd think, compared to Hollywood, would be cringeworthy but for some reason works. Imho
your videos are freaking amazing and I've watched all of them lol :3
Even though they're so far away from you, all their meals come from microwave ovens
Joe! I just took delivery of a Model 3 for my wife and used your referal code! Enjoy your free supercharger miles and keep doing amazing work!
A microwave in a galaxy not so far away...
Jim Z - I’m glad you did that one for me.
“The Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov Limit”. How many takes did you have for that scene?
Just one actually! And nobody is more shocked about that than me.
That would have killed me for an hour.
You make great videos, absolutely captivating every time! It shows you do your research and do a kickass job at editing. Thank you so much for uploading twice a week without missing a day, it must be arduous when you’re not feeling good or aren’t in a creative mood.
I appreciate that man. I'm lucky to get to do this for a living but it can be a grind sometimes.
Hahahah do more stuff with that foreshadowing voice please!!!
Parks is pretty awesome, we even put a brand new 2.5 million dollar wide band sensor in it last year that kicks ass
😭(Cries Australasialy)😭
And it's got a decent name now! It's called Murriyang, a Wiradjuri word that translates to (or perhaps refers to) the "sky world". Indigenous Australian astronomy is mind-blowing in its sophistication, particularly in Wiradjuri traditions, so it's a great name. The telescope may have been been named after the town in which it's located, but really, Henry Parkes thought light shone out of his arse, not stars ... ;)
Small magellanic cloud is 199 thousand light years away, just sayin'...
I think he meant the signal was from 3 billion light years away, in the direction of the SMC. Astronomers talk about distant objects being "in Leo" or some other constellation, meaning the place you would look for it in the sky from here, not it's actual location. People can get confused if it isn't worded just right, which seems have happened in this case.
@The Jim Reaper™ its 299,00 light years from earth ish so yes Croydon too
@@animistchannel2983 thanks animist! :)
It's not the size of your Magellanic Cloud...It's how you use it...
"The Dish" - Is a lighthearted Aussie film about the Parkes Observatory and it's role in the Apollo landing if anyone's interested. One of my favorite films.
"What If" and "Atlas Obscura" on the bookshelf. Two of my favorites.
The parks radio telescope; famous for the great Australian movie "The Dish" You got to check that out
"The Dish" is an awesome movie about Parks during the Apollo missions that everyone should check out if they haven't seen yet.
Bloody classic movie - pure Aussie dry humour.
So.... you might say it was *microwave* radiation?!?! I'm here all week...
I guess I'm gonna be that guy, but microwave ovens are named that because they use microwave frequency radiation to cook food. So that's kind of a non joke.
Joe Scott I slowed down this video to X0.25 to see the picture of Einstein. Have you ever listened to yourself in slows motion? You sound super drunk while still saying really smart things. It's freaking hilarious!
Super well done. It's super good to see another video from you. Keep up the super work...
Super thanks!
CHIME, which is near Penticton BC is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
As you are driving to the observatory look for outcrops of rocks along the roadway.
If you stop and look closely at the rocks you will realize the whole area is littered with fossils.
All in all it is totally worth making a picnic day out of the adventure.
Cool!
That park observatory microwave door story would have been a lovely little sub plot in the film "The Dish"!
Hey Joe, love your work! You done goofed with the distance of the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the two dwarf galaxies that orbit the milky way. You described the distance in your video at (11:16) that the cloud is 3 billion light years. That would be very difficult considering the Andromeda Galaxy is 3 million light years. The Mangellanic Clouds orbit us at a distance of 162 ly and 210 ly (large and small respectively)
Meant to say "in the direction of"
Today I learned that , and . retreat/advance a paused UA-cam by one frame. And I was rewarded with a super short, super powerful Gimli!
How did I miss this Vid? For me, the FRB topic is one of the most exciting mysteries out there!
like Gimli, super short and super powerful ;)
WTF mate, I lived in the Okanagan, took science in University and I had never even heard of the Chime. Nicely done sir.
the world will truly be a better place when joe uploads!
what if you bought scripts and video ideas from other people to maximize uploads! or hired someone to help out!
I'm working on building a team this year actually.
The best alien kind of theory about FRBs is that its actually laser propulsion like we plan with project starshot. That would explain the dramatic power of them, it would mean that the power isnt really that big but very focused. If we get a lot of those directed flashes by chance that would mean that they would have to be used *a lot* by alien civilizations.
Gotta give them credit for figuring it out and putting "it's aliens" to rest....quickly. Although, heating of an intergalactic hotpocket would be a great thing for the universe to serve up ; }
Joe, you have the best commenters! I've been trawling through the comments and can't find a single person claiming that it's aliens. I'm so happy.
As for Dashlane, who needs it? I store all my passwords as 32 numbers encoded into the digits of pi. Well, I don't actually do the encoding; the digits are there already, I just select an index point, usually starting with infinity minus my birth date squared. Retrieving them is trivial, although it does take an infinite amount of time every time. Luckily time loops at infinity, so in reality it seems to only take a fraction of a second.
The movie "The Dish" is about the Parkes Radio Telescope... and how it was the primary for the Moon Landing. Great movie.
Future Joe Note Counterpoint; it's a telescope in the ground pointed at space ergo a space telescope. It's not used for looking out at ships on an ocean, like a sailor's optical one. I think your description was accurate enough.
Aliens and Gimli working together!
All those random FRB'S are being caused by a very impatient Darth Vader, who is constantly checking to see if his "Galactic Empire Brand" hot pockets are ready to be consumed! Seriously, thanks for another great video Joe :)
I had Dr. Lorimer for an astronomy class called explosions in space. Super fun guy very down to earth and intelligent
I heard, when working for the JV SAAB-Univac company in Sweden (Stockholm) as a service engineer a funny story. At a major computer centre (this was back in the 70s) people experienced intermittent disturbances that came and went almost randomly, and seldom when the engineers were there.
The solution came one day when an engineer, trying to think out a possible cause looked out through a window in the facility ..... and looked straight into the air control radar at the Bromma Airport in Stockholm.
(It can possibly be an urban myth, but with miles of cables and copper tracks on a dozillion PCB’s and a huge mainframe computer where timing is crucial for correct operation, why not?)
If you haven't seen it The Dish is a fantastic movie about the role Parkes radio telescope played in the Apollo program, specifically Apollo 11. Bloody great movie.
Love your tangent cam! lol
After seeing the Kurzgesagt's video about strange stars I'm really curious to know more about strange quarks/matter, plz do a video about it.
Been thinking about that.
Tangent cam = interesting office view :) What’s in the stack of identical boxes that reaches floor to ceiling!?
Good morning Joe 🌞
Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA.
Good morning back!
I request you stop giving perfectly natural explanations which easily debunk thr alien conspiracies I enjoy subscribing to. Thanks in advance! Have a good day sir!
Attributing everything to aliens is what the History channel is for.
@@joescott ugh... but they make history soooooo boring! Its a YT society now. I want my history in the form of ten minute videos with one skipable ad. And aliens.
I love Mondays, they being of my days off and a new video from Joe. Awesomeness!
Borges was from my country, Argentina. Best writer ever, by the way. Also, the S at the end IS PRONOUNCED in spanish names, also the stress goes in the O not the E, it is not like french nor anything like that lol
6:35
I instantly imagined a round table of aliens looking at a calander and cheering "OMG ITS BEEN 1 BILLION YEARS, FINALLY!!! We can now see if those things on the planet Eee-Arth said anything back"
Ancient Hot Pocket Astronomer theory.....love it!
FUBAR: I don't know? - I wanted to be Robocop and in Bananarama as a kid... Oh, sorry, FRB - my mistake. Thanks Joe.
(Foreshadowing - it's actually a deep philosophical term apparently... You totally did it justice)
I always thought the one thing Bananarama was missing was a cyborg lead singer.
Is that a jar of peanut butter with a spoon I see in the Tangent Cam?!
for me the highlight of these videos are the segues. I make (microwave) popcorn and I wait & watch for the segues (probably the cause of a few FRBs)
When you said an FRB releases as much energy in a few milliseconds as our sun does in 80 years blew my mind. That’s insane
Hi there Joe! Big fan. I suppose Borges is not so known among spanish not speakers, but actually The Library Of Babel short story would be a perfect topic for one of your videos! Also if you really want to show as a real scholar, check out also the The Lottery of Babel.
"You've read it" You're adorable Joe
anyone else notice the random peanut butter jar... great video as always though!
pet dog, no other signs of food....
I hope that means we're getting another episode of "Answers With Zoe"! 🐾
One day, it'll be a big tub of Vaseline, and a box of latex gloves. See who has the balls to call that out
Per Duncan Lorimar "There are calculations in the literature that are consistent with energetics produced by explosions in which alien warfare doesn't wish to broadcast their existence"
Ok joe, all I could think about when the Tangent Cams were on is, what is in the huge stack of boxes in the back corner? lol....
Great video. Love the Tangent Cam backups. One could so easily be stuck in Tangent Cam mode, especially when explaining to me.
Anyway, completely at a tangent to the subject you were talkng about [sorry], how about doing a video on single frames planted into commercial films and adverts to promote subliminal responses in the viewer? This was a controversial subject decades ago. Of course, you'll tell me you've already done such a video. My main weakness - bad timing. 😁
BTW, how long did the 'foreshadowing' harmony take to do? Not quite Beach Boys standard, but pretty good. 😎
As someone with a background in marketing, the topic of subliminal messages is actually pretty interesting. It's way more subtle and sophisticated than just sticking one frame in a video, but it is a thing.
And the little harmony takes no time. I played music quite a bit when I was a kid.
@@joescott Well perhaps you'll produce a video on subliminal messages? I would find that interesting too.
And I've identified with music quite a bit throughout my life, which was why the harmonies popped out at me. The rest of the content was very interesting as per usual.
How about the in-between for neutron stars and black holes. Strange stars, and strange matter that is heavier than a neutron star but not a black hole.
We know neutron stars and black holes exist, strange stars are only hypothetical. No actual evidence for them, they just might be physically possible.
I think the more fascinating mystery is why we aren't picking up any FRBs from within our own galaxy.
Yeah, I think so too
Like he said, we've only picked up a handful from anywhere. Considering how much of the universe is not in our galaxy it's pretty much infinitely more likely to pick one up coming from somewhere else.
this video......is about taking the source......to a galaxy, far,far away....(but not alien=et).
no hint of a Haarp 'microwave'....but thought" local source" originally....mmmm
FRB.....F lying object R adar B and......or a ping to locate 'cloaked' craft?....lolol
Could the “Fast Radio Bursts” be from a parallel universe coming into contact (not parallel to for a moment) with this universe?
ANYTHING is possible
The FRB signal structure looks a little like what you would get if a pulsar (oriented away from earth) fell into a black hole. As the pulsar fell in ward the angle of its jet would change anyone watching from the appropriate direction would see a single fast high energy radio burst. The gravity of the black hole would also account for the doppler effect seen in the signal. ..Just a thought.
Loved the Death Star appearance!
I think Giorgio is sneaking into your house at night and has installed a crazy hair starter kit
I couldn't finish this because it's jam packed with court scientist woo-woo.
Well that makes total sense..............¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Principle In-form-ation or substitutions in mathematical formulae, active integration in conception, works for all scaling by default.
There's a description of the process by which planets form, interact and shift orbits by harmonic frequency modulation - interference, all due to "gravity".
The same principle applies in physics as chemical bonding, and every possible combination of resonances and frequencies, zero-infinity temporal superposition, in the logic of quantization - modulation.., that is all about QM-Time Principle of e-Pi-i Superspin it is required to know intuitively before you look-see at what you get in evidence, on which to base theory in continuous creation connection.
My theory is pulsars emitting radio waves aimed at a black hole in between us and the pulsar, the wave stealing angular momentum and being slung at earth. Most of the waves would just get eaten by the black hole leaving only a small percentage to escape and a smaller percentage to be pointed at earth.
Dig your videos Joe...just a quick Q...are you just sitting at your desk eating peanut butter straight outta the jar when you're not filming?
Thanks for the video it was SUPER!
The microwave thing is really interesting! I've never heard that before.....
have you seen the representation of a black hole from the last episode of the orville? it was really well made
Funny, I hated that part. Ship in event horizon? No problem. Ship under water? We can't take the pressure! Wtf?
@@davidbeppler3032 underwater i was remembering in futurama when they took the ship underwater. It went like: "how many atmospheres of pressure can this ship hold?" -"well, since it is a spaceship i guess one" 😂. (I'm remembering from the spanish translation so in english it could have been completly different).
I was talking more about the visual part of the black hole and refracting the light. It is scince fiction after all. It's going to have a wtf moment from time to time.
I actually really enjoy the Orville for the most part.
Oh my God, that's such a good point. Ha!
I said in the other channel before, FRB is generated when aliens start their spacecraft, that's why it is so random.
A strange thing happened to my Landrover TD5. It was left on my drive for a long time (in France) and the battery ran down (fairly normal occurance). However when I jumped it, I had nothing, I mean nothing, rien, zero! A landy mechanic came with his computer and did his thing and nothing. The reason, apparently, the old BMW security system in the TD5 was susceptible (when the battery was particularly low but with enough power to receive, it was a fairly precise algorithm apparently) to the gendarmes burst transmission signal, so, the battery was the exact power level, the gendarmes were at exactly the right range (no more than 10 metres) and they were transmitting at exactly this moment, to kill my land-rover system. It never moved again. Needless to say, that system was changed.
Man, your stuff is great! Really enjoy it!
Giant alien mirco wave ovens is exactly what I was thinking too. I think they're feeding whole colonies with giant frozen pizzas.
Is it me or is joes hair line larger than usual but what ever great video
Joe, what do you think with this argument; "If you believe in supernatural entity, you must also believe in existence of aliens, since both can't be explained in any scientific means, in our knowledge today." I find it intriguing!!
That's a logical fallacy dude. The religious use faulty logic in their arguments, we should not stoop to same
That's really bad logic bro
Yeah, that's like saying if unicorns exist then bigfoot exists. They aren't entangled pairs.
Yeah it must be hard for joe reading comments like yours and knowing how dumb his fan base can be.
That swing to face the *tangent cam* 👌🏼
i was unaware of this. thanks joe.
I appreciate the jar of peanut butter sitting on your desk.
Only a fast radio burst could evenly heat a hot pocket to be fair.
"heat evenly" as in "instantly vaporize" it?
@@liquidminds both
I have read the book and it was amazing.
