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

And it's like, bam.

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

That's wild.

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

There's a lot of other things I'm kind of glossing over here as to why hydrogen does this.

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

It has to do with, I think, electrons moving from different orbits around the atom, etc.

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

But suffice to say.

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

the hydrogen is being blasted by something very powerful and therefore it is emanating a radio signal and then we happen to hear that that happened right that's wild yeah i mean that's just that's what i was thinking right it's just nature doing its thing

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

Yeah, and we just happened to hear something extraordinarily rare happen.

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

And all of these pieces are relatively rare in the grand scheme of things.

You might see hydrogen gas clouds throughout space, nebula and things like that.

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

You're going to see magnetars, but they're not the most common object out there.

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

And you're also listening to space.

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

But the fact that

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

something in a process called super radiance, some sort of natural cosmic laser emanated maybe by a magnetar happened to hit this hydrogen cloud.

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

We happen to be listening at the exact moment that it happened.

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

And so it created that hydrogen's normal 1420 megahertz hum in a loud enough energy burst that the big ear caught it.

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

And that's why it was so loud.

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

I think this theory

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

Let me see.

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

Yeah, let me see a little bit more of Earth before I see a little bit more of space.

Now, what's interesting is, again, in the scientific community, this is considered to be the leading alternative, the leading natural phenomenon alternative theory to aliens, because it again, it addresses the perfect frequency, the power behind the signal and the frequency.
