Powerful radio pulses puzzle astronomers

A mystery object near the centre of our galaxy is sending out
powerful pulses of radio waves. It is unlike any known source.
A team of astronomers led by Scott Hyman of Sweet Briar College,
Virginia, US, detected the mysterious source using the Very Large
Array radio telescope in New Mexico.
The pulses are coming from a spot just to one side of the galactic
centre. Each pulse lasts about 10 minutes, and they repeat regularly
every 77 minutes. If, as the researchers think, the source is near the
centre of the Milky Way, it would be one of the most powerful emitters
in the galaxy. The shape and timing of the pulses rules out most known
sources, such as radio pulsars.
The object could be a magnetar - a neutron star with an ultra-strong
magnetic field. "Magnetars store plenty of energy to power the
observed outbursts," says Hyman. Or it may be something entirely new.
To find out more, the team is studying it using the Green Bank radio
telescope in West Virginia, and hopes to use NASA's Chandra space
telescope to see if it is also spitting out X-rays.

The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy notes that Disaster Area, a plutonium
rock band from the Gagrakacka Mind Zones, are generally held to be not only
the loudest rock band in the Galaxy, but in fact the loudest noise of any
kind at all. Regular concert goers judge that the best sound balance is
usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven
miles from the stage, whilst the musicians themselves play their instruments
by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stays in
orbit around the planet

I think you are correct. So, then we can get the
answer to everything by studing the number 42.
We simply need to take to 10 and the 77 and
apply a logical code breaker to come up with
the numbe 42 and then all the answers to the
universe will be known to us thru celestial math
and reverse engineering.

Clearly --- this is an alien with a powerful radio transmitter
-----trying to
contact us with advise on how to avoid
a world war in the name of each countries
specific dominant god.
As 10 is the highest number - plus ONE
and then the 77 (sacred number) it might
be coming from heaven.
