You take that normal light and you focus it into something stronger that could maybe help you create a fire.

It's possible that the magnifying glass in this case is some sort of celestial object

taking background noise and amplifying it to the point that when we get it here on Earth, it sounds outlandishly loud.

And so again, it's just like a freak accident of nature kind of thing that we just happened to hear.

That's what that theory is kind of saying.

But all in all, over 100 studies have been conducted over the same region of sky.

No answers have ever been like fully agreed upon.

There's obviously leading theories.

Right.

But nothing has proven what this signal is.

And of course, it's never been heard again.

Damn.

So despite that and despite the fact that we held on to this theory because we thought it's not there's not much meat on the bone here.

So maybe we hold on.

Yes, the rarity of all these things that might have happened coalescing to make this one signal that we happen to hear, yeah, it's wild.

And yeah, when you really distill it down, powerful signal sent from space, was it aliens?

And then most people go, ah, no, there's no aliens.

What I thought was really interesting, and this is kind of the take that I wanted to go, is understanding a little bit of the science underneath it all to really express and impress upon you why it is the wow signal, why it has the wow factor.

Because once you understand that, it kind of shifts the conversation.

It shifts your lens from what is my personal belief to wow.
