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.

Can't wait until we start deciphering these noises and reversing them like we're trying to listen through noise cancelling headphones.

Then, the only noise we get to hear are millions of alien worlds full of intelligent life all screaming out in anguish; hoping, clinging on to the idea that someone, anyone will reply to them so they know they're not alone in the universe. Signals from dying worlds, praying to the stars that someone out there can save them from the inevitable march towards extinction.

There's a sci-fi story in there, right?
