•Mysterious fast radio bursts could be caused by asteroids slamming into dead stars
76% Informative
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) may be created when asteroids slam into neutron stars.
Such a collision releases enough energy to supply humanity's power needs for 100 million years .
FRBs are transient pulses of radio waves that can last from a fraction of a millisecond to a few seconds .
An FRB can release the same amount of energy that it would take the sun several days to radiate.
The number of neutron stars and interstellar objects increases over the lifetime of the universe.
If this model is true, then we should observe FRB rates increase as the universe ages .
Repeated FRBs generally occur at a much faster rate, with some observed to be as fast as two bursts per hour.
