Investigating the enigmatic origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs) has taken a surprising turn. These millisecond-long radio flares, radiating immense energy, have traditionally been linked to galaxies with active star formation. However, a recent discovery challenges this assumption, revealing that some FRBs might emerge from far more ancient and quiescent...
