I was checking what other people had and found this greyscale map of a large portion of data :
http://i.imgur.com/Cl0kO.pngalso the same person averaged each repeating portion to a single picture :
http://i.imgur.com/q5eFW.pngIf it's not an artifact, this is pretty much a form of binary code similar to the one in the arecibo message (a white block is 1, a dark block is 0), and decoding the averaged picture from binary to decimal gave me a list of numbers :
1 2 3 5 6 8 9 11 14 15 18 20 21 23 26 29 30 33 35 36 39 41 44 48 50 51 53 54 56 63 65 68 69 74 75 78 81 83 86 89 90 95 96 98 99 105 111 113 114 116 119 120 125 128 131 134 135 138 140
Now as you can see this is pretty much counting and skipping, assuming i got the endian right, which i think is the case, so from that i think there are several possibilities :
A/ the skipping is an artifact produced by the low resolution of the picture and/or because the averaged picture was made with segments that are 4096 long, and maybe the period is slightly different (i think it could be 4000 instead)
B/ maybe there is a part in each 4096 (or 4000) segment that is changing as time goes on, and therefore blurred by the averaging
C/ Maybe this is a countdown, and we are at 140 (which could be a number of days), and as time goes on the number will diminish.
I think C/ is very probable what's with notch tweeting about pulsars slowing down.
I suggest watching if these numbers change over time.
Edit : I cleaned, resized, and tweaked the picture a bit so that it's easier to read the binary code in the greyscale picture :
the first line reads as 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
the last line reads as 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0
you can use any binary to decimal converter like the one in the windows calculator to get the same values as me from that.
