[ExI] ...a long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

This is really cool, but the way it is being reported in the popular press
makes it sound to normal people like they are getting signals such as we get
on our radios:

ars-away-from-earth-captured/

 

We physics hipsters know that "radio signals" mean and know what the 21 cm
hydrogen line is, but when they say "radio signals" from 9 billion years
ago, far too many proles imagine stuff like Wolfman Jack saying things like
"Hey there cats and dolls, put on your hipster shoes and get ready for back
seat bingo with some BOSS rock and roll!"

 

Still this is crazy cool the signals from that dang far out there.
