In 1974, scientists sent a message containing the position of the Earth in the solar system, our DNA structure and other relevant details in space. In 2001, we received an enigmatic answer.
Arecibo’s message
In an attempt to discover intelligent extraterrestrial life , Carl Sagan sent a transmission known as the “Arecibo” message into space via radio waves. The message to the ETs was the most powerful radio broadcast ever transmitted into space by humanity.
By comparison, the signal sent into space was a million times stronger than a typical television broadcast.
The message was directed to the globular cluster of Hercules M13, 25,000 light-years away, in the hope that one day we would receive a similar response.
The radio signal included the position of our planet within our star system, the basic principles of mathematics and science, and the antenna used to transmit the signal, all characteristics that an intelligent alien civilization should understand.
The message prepared by Carl Sagan and his colleagues also included information about our species. Our physical appearance was also included in the radio message and in our DNA code.
A few years after the signal was sent, people forgot about it. Then, 27 years later, in 2001, a crop circle appeared shaking the scientific community.
A model appeared on a cultivated field near the UK’s largest telescope and observatory, the Chilbolton, where the world’s largest steerable weather radar is located, which looked like a response to the 1974 transmission.
It was considered by many to be one of the most important circles ever seen on our planet, since this crop circle, unlike others, carried a message from space.
While many have attributed the crop circle near Chilbolton as another deception and analysis has shown that it carries a message or, rather, a response from space.
By describing a different solar system in the universe, the image of the sender, non-human DNA and some microwave antenna, the Chilbolton crop circle was the ultimate answer we would ever hope for.
In 2000, just a year before the extraterrestrial message was found , a crop circle of an unknown shape appeared next to the Chilbolton. A year later the puzzle was put together and we could see that the crop circle, which appeared in 2000, was actually a representation of the microwave telescope used to transmit the signal to us.
In 2001, three days after the mysterious answer, another crop circle appeared next to the Chilbolton that appeared to represent a face.
According to bibliotecapleyades.net , the decimal equivalents of the binary code were unchanged from the original Arecibo. But the atomic numbers of the elements that make up the basis of Life had been altered: silicon, an element with an atomic number of 14, was added precisely in the correct sequence, between oxygen (atomic number 8) and phosphorus (atomic number 15). ).
Because… in 1969, Ben Volcani, a renowned microbiologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, discovered the crucial role of silicon in carbon-based life.
His work and that of his colleagues (such as Charles Mehard and Edith Carlisle in the early 1970s at UCLA), have shown that the presence of silicon is fundamental in a variety of terrestrial life forms , as well as in the structure of human cells: for for example, in the link between cartilage and the mineral aspects of bones.
Whether or not the crop circle that appeared near the Chilbolton was, in fact, an alien answer is still up for debate. However, many people are adamant that not only is the 2001 Chilbolton Crop Circle a true message from another intelligent alien civilization in the universe , but we receive similar messages almost every day.
Sagan himself described the Arecibo message , some four years after its transmission.
The decoded message forms a kind of pictogram that says something like this:
“Here’s how we count from one to ten. Here are five atoms that we think are interesting or important: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus. Here are some ways to put together these atoms that we find interesting or important: the molecules of thymine, adenine, guanine and cytosine and a chain composed of alternating sugars and phosphates.
These molecular blocks are put together to form a long DNA molecule comprising approximately four billion links in the chain. The molecule is a double helix. Somehow, this molecule is important for the clumsy-looking being at the center of the message. That being has 14 radio wavelengths or 5 feet 9.5 inches high.
There are about 4 billion of these creatures on the third plant from our star. There are a total of nine planets, four large towards the outside and one small towards the end. This message is sent to you kindly sent by a radio telescope of 2,430 wavelengths or 1,004 feet in diameter.
Yours sincerely. “
