Greetings earthling,
as a 30 year old IT specialist in Northrine-Westphalia in germany I am always busy but I also have the ability to get some more machines work for the interstellar communication, but also at home I have my machines work - not permanent though.
The only machine that permanently works for me personally is a 500MHz PentiumIII, as this is my mail- and fileserver at home.
From time to time, when I am at home though, I also let my SUNs, Athlons, HP9000, SGIs and other Intels/AMDs calculate (Hasn't happened for too long...).
But.. doesn't every calculated Bit count? |

When I look up to that extraterrestrial pincushion I am absolutely sure that we are NOT alone, because this would as much be a waste of space and resources as it is arrogant of us to think that we are the top of creation.
Why should only in this tiny spot of space a thinking mind be able to evolve and to develop?
It is only a matter of techology and of mind to find the other ones out there.
As distance is that large I think, we might not find anything by searching for slow media as radio and any other sub-light media, but maybe some million years ago a race as primitive as mankind now has also tried to send beacons for us to find.
From this point of view we should of course send a beacon out to all of those beings that are on our level in some hundred million years from now.
What kind of message to send, though is pretty difficult to explain. At first we should send mathematical constants, maybe in a kind of primitive morse code slowly letting this code evolve to a more complex language so the receiver can follow this evolution of the message. This message should, of course, be repeated infinitely.
Also we should not only send one beacon, but send several beacons in an increasing complexity on different frequencies, always explaining how to receive the next level of communication (what frequency, etc.)
Only problem is: Will anyone out there be so primitive in some hundred million years, that he at least scans our frequencies? |
