The Byte reports that scientists have been
stumped since detecting a series of large,
low frequency radio wave-emitting objects. .
According to researchers,
the objects were found in a galaxy cluster
about 800 million light-years away. .
The signal appears to defy the laws of physics.
Researchers discovered a fossil radio
emission, a radio relic and a radio halo
within the Abell 3266 galaxy cluster.
The radio relic, a sonic boom-like
arc of radio waves, caught
the researchers' attention.
According to the team,
the relic is unlike any other
radio object detected before.
If it's a shock wave,
you might think it would
bend down like an arc around
the edge, but this one is flipped around, Tessa Vernstrom, The University

Our best physical models
simply can’t fit the data, Tessa Vernstrom, The University

The Byte reports that the discovery
may cause the team to rethink
our understanding of physics.
Maybe there's some kind
of new physics going on there
that we haven't fully understood,
when our models can't
match the observations, Tessa Vernstrom, The University
