l0rd Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Send a bottle into the cosmic ocean! Basically, they are going to send binary radio signals on August 24th from an Australian deep space communications center to Gliese 581D, a planet roughly 20 light years away that has a possible potential for life.

PoorLepRecon Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 How the hell do we know that other lifeforms can read English/our alphabet and numbers? Exactly. Every message is pointless, since there is no way to read or understand it. Though if someone recieved a signal they might send someone to look for its point of origin.

PastyGangsta Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I always wonder why we constantly think life on other planets is more intelligent than us? Maybe they're exactly the same, just different language etc. Maybe they're far ahead of us, and yet maybe they're like the cavemen from the Geico commercials. Although I've gotta give them credit, they're been smart enough not to associate with us... : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphaq Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 could someone please add at least some of each of these numbers to their message? I ran out of characters, writing out addition, multiplication, etc... , as that is what "they" are most likely to understand, if they exist--Languages are varied, but math is fairly basic, especially in binary, and figuring out what means "+" or "*" wouldn't be difficult given the number sequences. 3.1415926535897932384626433 2.7182818284590452353602874 [hide=quotes] You are like a three legged cat.

Dizzle229 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm a hero. Now thanks to me, when they live among us, they will know to save a buncha money on their car insurance by switching to Geico. Get back here so I can rub your butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphaq Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 They're constants in all number systems, I believe, and show that we've reached a level of sophistication sufficient to calculate them. That, and if "they" know of one or the other, it will mark this message as being a message, and not random static, especially if put to a high hnumber of decimal places.

Lenin64 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Well, if they can understand these, they will know not to send any sort of scouting party to find the source. Because all of these are coming from the internet. I'll let that sink in while people send more Intergalactic Rick Rolls. Command the Murderous Chalices!

They will be able to decipher it if they are intelligent at all. And by the time it arrives they might already be here. Basic language..how come I couldn't understand it then?

i_love_burritos Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Binary is a basic language. What the [bleep] are you on [about] ? The binary construct is incredibly complex. Even if the idea is simple. Mine was : I hope this message reaches "you". We have been searching for life. If this is lost in space. We are Earth. We have artists, scientists, thinkers. Who are you ? A little too hostile ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Even with binaries why would you assume they use the the same signs/symbols to associate numbers too? Like when we see the symbol 1 we associate it with the number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
