Strange Mathematical Patterns from Space!

Seeing how we were discussing SETI and alien contact recently, I figured I'd share this article that came to my attention yesterday.

Truly fascinating. Radio bursts from beyond the galaxy that appear in complex mathematical patterns. Is this what the Destiny in SGU was looking for? ;)

    Remember the cautionary tale of the discovery of pulsars, however...

    Well, the article even notes that longer observation may prove that the pattern could break. We only have 10 samples of this peculiar radio burst since the turn of the century. However, if the pattern remains, that will be vastly intriguing.
