The 1420 MHz frequency, known as the hydrogen line, sounds like a soft, steady, cosmic hiss—the natural background noise of neutral hydrogen in the universe. It is the quietest place in the radio spectrum, often described as a faint, rushing static noise,
It is a vital frequency for radio astronomy (SETI) because it is believed that an intelligent civilization might select this "universal channel" for communication, as it is a natural, widely recognized frequency in the cosmos.
I sense shenanigans.
