New Theory Suggests Asteroids May Cause Fast Radio Bursts

A new study led by Dang Pham from the University of Toronto suggests that fast radio bursts (FRBs) may be caused by asteroids colliding with neutron stars, rather than the previously believed neutron star collisions. This research, published in the Astrophysical Journal, explores the frequency of interstellar asteroid impacts and their correlation with FRB occurrences, providing fresh insights into these powerful cosmic phenomena.
