I don't understand. You have a source of light far away - it blinks. How do you know if its a lamp or flashlight?

- CuriouslyC 6y agoThe flashlight fits Occam's Razor much more neatly. A pulsing lamp that goes from nothing to nova intensity with a nice neat period requires a lot more assumptions.
- throw1234651234 6y agoSomething highly directional is much more likely to be something intelligently-designed, so the razor cuts both ways here. Not trying to argue btw, genuinely just discussing.
- CuriouslyC 6y agoNot necessarily, we already have a lot of natural directional phenomena, like pulsars in particular. The really strange thing about this is the long period.
