No, this is work of one person published in an obscure journal, not A&A, or ApJ, or MNRAS, for example. BBC Horizon covered his idea recently. That's not to say it isn't right, just that the solution is still not agreed upon. Fast radio bursts only recently discovered, indicate how much we still don't know because there's just so much sky to cover, at so many frequencies.
- JadeNB 9y ago> No, this is work of one person published in an obscure journal, not A&A, or ApJ, or MNRAS, for example. BBC Horizon covered his idea recently. That's not to say it isn't right, just that the solution is still not agreed upon. The current story title is "Astronomer claims to have solved …", so 'No' seems not to be appropriate here (although the background you provide is surely valuable for evaluating that claim).
