Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Like in Arrival, we don't fully understand maybe how aliens would communicate, but the laws of physics and the nature of our universe is relatively consistent or one could assume constant throughout space and time.

And so you will want to use these fundamental truths in order to communicate.

Hence, let's talk on the loudest, most common frequency, the hydrogen line.

I kind of learned something too.

I had no idea that this was a thing either.

And I was very aware of the wow signal.

Red Web

It is fascinating.

And this is why, oh, space is so good.

If you're just about to start college, engineering's tough.

Get after it, man.

Like unpackage the mysteries of the universe.

Understand it from a fundamental level.

No matter what discipline of engineering you go into, you're on a road of learning for forever.

And it's, oh, it's a gift.

Red Web

Okay.

So the largest argument for this case is the shear force strength signal, and the fact that it has never been recreated and never seen ever again.

Even when looking back at that point in the sky, it has never been picked up again.

However, some could argue that if extraterrestrial civilizations were trying to contact us, we would see this phenomenon multiple times.

And so the fact that we haven't heard it again has made some people question it and make them go, well, maybe it is a rare natural occurrence that happened one time.

Yeah.
