The ETI hypothesis for GRBs (1) suggests that the temporal shape of GRBs at the transmitters is a simple pulse, probably <100 milliseconds, and the complex shapes that we see are due to distortions en route, primarily gravitational lensing. Some of the notable characteristics of GRBs can be understood in this way: • Asymmetry in GRB temporal profiles, that is fast rise and slower decay or brighter features first and weaker features later, is typical of gravitational lensing through mass column densities less than critical (τ<1). • Gravitational lenses are achromatic, but if a typical transmitter uses the same antenna for all wavelengths, and if its beamwidth is comparable to the spacing among echoes, then this gives at least a partial explanation for the narrowing and simplifying of GRB temporal profiles at higher energies-shorter wavelengths.
