Primes, as far as we can tell, are a unique variety of iteration (ie counting) wherein an iteration cannot be divided into equal sizes or constructed from any grouping of equal size iterations.

Like hell they don't. If any civilization is advanced enough to send signals into space, they will definitely have a notion of prime numbers, just as certainly as they will have a notion of numbers.

It's probably a natural occurrence. I do wonder what it's hypothetical purpose would be though.

The researchers talk about radio emission. The sun does not have much radio output. Actually it is very quiet in the radio spectrum.

>>7170807
By now the wavelength to delay ration of 187.5 * n could verry possibly be a coincidence.
The radio astronomers will have to get more data to be sure. 11 measurements is a pretty small sample.

Maybe, I stated here >>7170781 the signals are produced seismically inside A1 supernova remnant neutron stars.
Those are all of quite similiar mass and diameter wich could explain the similar wavelength to duration delay ratio of the signals?

Or it is simply a spy satelite.

No way in hell that this is E.T.

mistery solved

>“There are five fast radio bursts to be reported,” says Michael Kramer of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy. “They do not fit the pattern.”

...

>Instead of aliens, unexpected astrophysics, or even Earthly interference, the mysterious mathematical pattern is probably an artifact produced by a small sample size, Ransom says. When working with a limited amount of data – say, a population of 11 fast radio bursts – it’s easy to draw lines that connect the dots. Often, however, those lines disappear when more dots are added.

It is surely a possibility that it's origins are of alien life.

It is absolutely not the most likely, nor plausible explanation.

>It is surely a possibility that it's origins are of alien life.
That'd make sense if there was only one signal, or maybe few of them, closely grouped together.
But they are scattered too far apart from ech other and much too powerfull.

I say it is some totally new phenomenon related to pulsars/magnetars.

Fuck! This is exciting!

Well, one telling factor is that they occur at very nearly exact multiples of a second. This hints at a manmade origin specifically, not merely an intelligent origin.

Seconds are an extremely arbitrary measure; the chance that aliens would use a time unit anywhere close to an exact multiple of a second is terribly unlikely. This means it is much more likely to be of human origin.
