The Enigma of Fast Radio Bursts Reveals Neutron Star Secrets

In a single millisecond, a Fast Radio Burst can release more energy than our sun will emit for 80 years. These mysterious signals are cosmic lighthouses blinking from across the universe.

For over a decade, their origin was one of astronomy's greatest puzzles. Were they colliding black holes, dying stars, or something else entirely? The discovery of repeating FRBs shattered previous theories, proving the source had to be an object that could survive these immense explosions. This video traces the scientific detective story that revealed the secret connection to neutron stars, specifically magnetars—incredibly dense, spinning corpses with the most powerful magnetic fields in the cosmos. We'll explore how these fleeting flashes are now being used as tools to illuminate the invisible matter between galaxies and probe the fundamental laws of the universe.

What celestial engine do you think is powerful enough to create such a brief, yet brilliant, flash?
