Deep-space flashes light up a new face of Nature

[knocker]

CSIRO's Parkes radio telescope in eastern Australia has detected mysterious 'flashes' of radio energy from the distant Universe that may open up a whole new area of astrophysics. The surprising finding, made by a team of scientists from ten institutions in Australia, the USA, UK, Germany and Italy, is published in today's issue of the journal Science.

11 billion light years - getting fairly close to the big bang, though just enough time for the formation for the birth and death of a massive star which would have a much shorter life span than our sun - I wonder?

Though i do not know I would suspect that the early phase of our universe was far more turbulent that what we have today? With all the mass we see being confined into a much smaller area plus a much larger 'residual' from the B.B. itself?
