My guess is intergalactic warfare. They can keep their magnetars, my explanation adds intrigue!
- Errorcod3 10y ago"magnetars generally form from stellar explosions" The cause of these magnetars could be intergalactic warfare! Who needs nukes when you can blow up a star...
- graycat 10y agoIIRC, magnetars are astounding, mean, wicked, shocking things. Don't want to be anywhere near one of those puppies.
- yoodenvranx 10y agoPerhaps we witnessed the birth of a new Chaos God? Or the Emporor did some maintainance work on the Astronomicon.
- hinkley 10y agoGalactic bypass.
- dmichulke 10y agoTogether with the fact that no bursts are seen in the Milky Way would mean that either they didn't find anyone here or us Milky Way guys are just too primitive.
- tunap 10y agoOr, perhaps, our galaxy has been identified, observed and quarantined to prevent the spread of war and enslavement. God, The Universe & Everything Else https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKQQAv5svkk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKQQAv5svkk
- graycat 10y agoIn physics, we want explanations that are really crazy enough. Okay: It turns out that space-time curvature has an upper limit, and at that limit the curvature suddenly flattens with a big release of energy. Now, if I knew enough physics to evaluate this crazy guess, then I would, but I won't until I make more progress with my startup! As for Simons who pays for Quanta, make money first, do theoretical, cosmological physics later!
- zeroer 10y agoIn your explanation, how does it repeat? Also, curvature is a non-local phenomenon. In the sense that if you take a finite volume of space, re-arrange the spacetime however you like, you still have to have the same total curvature inside the volume. You don't have a free hand to reduce total curvature in a volume of spacetime without also altering the boundary.
- graycat 10y agoThanks! Nice differential geometry! I have some good books and plenty of background to read them, but I do need to read them. Want to; have for a long time; came close a few times but always something got in the way; will have to wait until my startup is done.
- __jal 10y agoNah. Mating-fitness displays.
- ccvannorman 10y agoNah, merely cruise ships going into warp between intergalactic planets.
