Over the past decade, scientists have detected a puzzling phenomenon: radio pulses coming from within our Milky Way galaxy that would pulse every two hours, like a cosmic heartbeat. The long radio blasts, which lasted between 30 and 90 seconds, appeared to come from the direction of the Ursa Major constellation, where the Big Dipper is located.

        Now if you’re thinking that it would solve all our problems cause humanity would unite against the common threat, I think you’d get a disappointing, pessimistic but pretty realistic wake up call.
