Surprised nobody has mentioned this phenomenon

What could possibly put out this kind of energy ?

A puzzle to say the least .

It would be interesting to compare the single FRB frequency characteristics with those of the repeating FRB. Repeater might be a rotating BH? Single FRBs might be final burst from non-rotating BHs? BTW: Is there any info on the repetition rate of the repeating FRB? . . . might yield info on rotation rate of the 'source'

If that were so , then these FRB , would have been happening all the time .

Perhaps . . . . .perhaps not . . . . .maybe there are not as many BH candidates as some think . . . IMO, of course

 

Or maybe the technology to detect these FRB has just been developed ?

 

Perhaps . . . . .

 

Perhaps . Now it is up to you to investigate the ....perhaps . To or fro .
