Hell, there could be another sanctum of human life that has reached the point of the humans in Wall-E.
i recall the slogan: "in space no one can hear you scream" so sound is totally out of the question radio waves and other EM radiation is a possible source of the sound, but many things may be responsible for EM radiation. The only significant thing about this finding is the amplitude of the sound it creates
It was CHUCK NORRIS. Or mabie Jack Thompson had a rational thought. Or they finally launched Sp3cOp5grunt into space.
Hey, some Star Wars books take place in present time and even 80 years in the future in a galaxy far far away (my math teacher tells me)
Voyager Voyager I is currently the farthest man made object from Earth. It is now on the edge of our solar system and there is debate about whether it has crossed over the termination shock into the heliosheath. In Galactic terms it is still very, very, very, very close to us. We do not have satellites all over the galaxy. Sorry.
Lulz it was almost loud enough. Anyway it has to be some kind of incredibly loud signal, no sound in space dummies =] I really don't know what it could be unless its little green people trying to contact us with lots of radio static.
Or they want to come and see our sexy pr0nz! On Topic again, I definately recall hearing about them sending pictures of music, human beings, animals and in fact DNA out to space. Of course, it probably wasn't sent in a capsule, it'd probably burn up in an atmosphere of a planet (if it had one) or just stay floating in space. My mind is hazed about the details of that though so there could have been a capsule I guess that they sent the numerical details of these sort of things encoded within the electromagmetic wave. The signal may be infrared (digital or analogue), radio or microwave, I can't remember. Our DNA genome (the entire make-up of out DNA) was probably encoded like this too. The aliens, if intelligent enough may be able to decode our messages. Surely this would mean that it is a radiowave though. Although this point is basic and we are questioning it, I'm guessing that it turned out trivial because of the way the article was written? My synopsis anyway... You probably realised, If you bothered to read that that yes, I am interested in Space, Physics and all that other Scientific hulabaloo.
