The Importance of Asking the Right Questions

People are trying to study this thing in further detail though, like looking at it across a range of frequencies. So they look for X-rays from this thing and didn't see any, which is sort of consistent with being a magnetar but not really a smoking gun because you're like not seeing a signature instead of seeing a signature. What we see in the universe depends on what we look for, which means we might be missing all sorts of crazy stuff that's happening out there just because we haven't asked the right questions.
