| I'm 27, from a little Island called Jersey which is just about 15km off the North West Coast of France...rather than the New "Jersey" that is a drunken cab ride from New York... For all of you with the atlas' you get from great aunts as a birthday present that shows the world on a double page spread in the middle, we are the groups of islands off the sticking out bit at the top of France that looks like cookie(for you North Americans)/Biscuit crumbs squashed in there the last time you used the book as reference on a TV quiz. |

I guess it is those feelings of geographical insignificance that made how we look to those who might be out there in space. We all like to feel like we would find life, but would it be more "life finding us".. and if they did, would we even interest them. I like to think we would and I hope the fact we try and search beyond ourselves (not just into space, but in our everyday lives) that will offer something in common to potential intelligent life. Would it be exploration we have in common...oh that...and Maths.. because that "apparently" is the common language... although I have enough trouble balancing my bank account!
As for a beacon or message, I wonder if we have the capacity to say who or what we are in any meaningful way in the clarity we would need to say it. We miss-quote each other when we are close, we misinterpret each other on the phone when we cant see each others expressions. What a surprise a visitor would have when they came here. Worse still, with the "human" expectation of extra terrestrial life.. would we even be disappointed with what we found?
