I’m a bit confused… We’ve known for decades that Pulsars are producing radio signals at intervals more precise than most clocks, so I’m not quite sure what the difference is. But then again, I haven’t ever taken a deep-dive into stellar radio signals, so probably an FRB is something completely different than your regular pulsar?

Also, funniest comment from that thread:

do scientists remember that days aren’t a unit of measurement?
