AI detected
Strange radio signal discovered by astronomers.
The signal was found by AI which was developed by a team of experts under the leadership of a University of Toronto student, Peter Ma.
The intelligence algorithm for it detected the signal during an examination of 820 stars at the Green Bank Telescope, West Virginia.
8 Suspicious radio signal detected
The AI algorithm uses machine learning to distinguish human-generated signals.
In previous observations, these 8 signals were not detected due to intervention.
After repeated attempts, finally a new signal appears.
Evidence of modern life?
Reporting from the NYPost, Thursday (23/2), this signal is not certain evidence of the existence of modern civilization.
Although the characters are different and unknown, researchers need to carry out further studies.
One of the scientists, Steve Croft, said there were several challenges to identifying the signal.
First, there is such a large signal stack that it is difficult to find transmissions from foreign worlds.
“Most of the signals detected by our telescopes come from our own technology,he explained.
Most likely not from earth
Furthermore, Croft said that the signal could have come from an extraterrestrial source.
The reason is because they are composed of narrowband, as opposed to human-induced broadband signals.
In addition, the detected signal has a slope.
“These signals appear when we look at the stars and disappear when we look away, as opposed to local interference which is generally always present. Signal [juga] changing its frequency from time to time in such a way as to make it appear far from the telescope,he explained.
