Mystery of Fast Radio Bursts. One Step Closer to The Answer?
What are Fast Radio Bursts? Did we get a step closer to answering this question by associating some of them with a Kilonova event? What Cosmology questions can we solve by studying FRBs? Discussing all these things with Dr Clancy James from Curtin University.

Glad to see some more FRB content. Like you, I'm excited to hear about it because it could be something solved in our lifetimes, and there's a remote possibility it could point to new physics. Seemed like someone spots something 1/1000000th as powerful in the milky way almost out of frame and in the general direction of a magnetar and what was a widely covered research topic all but vanishes from the conversation. I guess there became a notion that FRBs are just something magnetars do when they're bored and isolated. Thanks for bringing some intriguing explanations backed by some evidence back to light.
Thanks, it's interesting so far.
