They have made a cryptic golden disc engraved with meaningless dots and lines. That&#8217;s nothing new. Already in Pioneer spacecraft we had a plague with erotic pictures and in Voyager we had a state of the art golden LP that contaid speech of Jimmy Carter and music from Chuck Berry etc.<\/p>\n<p>The new thing in this project is that the have selected &#8220;the most important photographs&#8221; to be added. If we assume that the alien lifeform that finds it would have eysight as we have, there is a possibitiy to success but I doupt it. Even with photographs it&#8217;s extremely difficult to explain anything to someone who does not shere the same cultural background.<\/p>\n<p>Look at the pictures below. These should explain lots of things. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to play an LP-record<\/li>\n<li>Hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen (as a scale)<\/li>\n<li>Anatomy of man and woman<\/li>\n<li>Relative position of the Sun to the center of the Galaxy and 14 pulsars<\/li>\n<li>Solar System<\/li>\n<li>Silhouette of the spacecraft (as a scale)<\/li>\n<li>Trajectory of the spacecraft<\/li>\n<li>Things important to human<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Think about it. These messages are not crypted &#8211; instead they are designed to be understood. They are supposed to be in the easiest possible form. Yet they are not easy even for human t understand. Some of the best scientists have failed to fully understand the messages althought they knew more or less what they are looking for. I think it&#8217;s hopeless that anyone outside of earth could understand this.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 188px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pioneer_plaque\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Pioneer plague\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/0\/02\/Pioneer_plaque.svg\/763px-Pioneer_plaque.svg.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"135\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Pioneer plague<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 216px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Voyager_Golden_Record\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Instructions to play the Voyager disc\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/e\/ed\/Voyager_Golden_Record_Cover_Explanation.svg\/737px-Voyager_Golden_Record_Cover_Explanation.svg.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"136\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Instructions to play the Voyager disc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 364px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/creativetime.org\/projects\/the-last-pictures\/the-pictures\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Creative Time Disc\" src=\"http:\/\/creativetime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Disc_001.jpg\" alt=\"Creative Time Disc\" width=\"364\" height=\"221\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Creative Time Disc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>See the picture below.. is it any more difficult to understand than the ones above?<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Egyptian_hieroglyphs\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Hieroglyphe\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/9\/9d\/Papyrus_Ani_curs_hiero.jpg\/511px-Papyrus_Ani_curs_hiero.jpg\" alt=\"Hieroglyphe\" width=\"290\" height=\"348\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hieroglyphe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An organisation called Creative Time is planning to send a message to the future.
