I really can’t take it seriously, you do you, but a reasonable person who is interested in science would actually be incredulous that the daily mail is a source for a science discussion. It has no business in a science community, honestly, unless your trying to troll people.
Meh, it’s science-y enough for me. They didn’t say anything factually wrong in the article. And when they say stuff like, “Scientist says object may be extraterrestrial…” or shit like that. The scientist does say that, as in they haven’t ruled it out. The article mentions that it’s probably just natural radio-noise from celestial events.
Clickbait headlines on articles is way different than saying that they actually make up everything.
Meh, it’s me. It’s not like anyone visits or takes this comm seriously!
The very fact that my name is attached to it means it lost credibility, regardless of content. I could put peer-reviewed articles created by the best minds in science, and it’d still get downvoted. LMAO
Lead author Professor Abel Mendez, of the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo, told Daily Mail: ‘We can’t rule out an extraterrestrial communication signal explanation for the Wow! Signal yet, but the evidence points to a natural origin.’
I think it’s an accurate article.
Dr Hector Socas-Navarro says: ‘The paper basically rewrites the basic stats of the Wow! signal.’
In addition to showing that the signal had been stronger than previously thought, the researchers have been able to characterise the burst much more accurately.
They narrowed the part of the sky that the signal came from to two small regions, each of which produced a different component of the signal.
The researchers were also able to determine this location with two-thirds greater statistical certainty.
Additionally, this new data slightly revises the signal’s frequency – putting it at 1420.726 MHz rather than 1420.4556 MHz.
That keeps the signal solidly within the hydrogen line, but that small change suggests that whatever produced the signal must have been spinning a lot faster than previously thought.
This means the source must be moving at about 46 miles per second (74 km/s), over double the previous estimate of 18 miles per second (30 km/s/).
Importantly, this research also rules out some natural phenomena that had been suggested as possible explanations.
It had been proposed that a man-made signal could have bounced off the moon and been mistakenly picked up by the observatory.
However, this new analysis clearly shows that the moon would have been on the wrong side of the planet at this time, so nothing could have bounced off it.
Likewise, the sun was not active enough during the year 1977 to produce anything close to the Wow! signal’s intensity.
That means the Wow! signal really must have come from somewhere outside our solar system.
However, there are still many questions remaining about the origins of this mysterious radio beam.

fair enough, best of luck with the community.

I’m perfectly fine with that :)
I don’t think there is anything made up:
