Interstellar Message sent from Earth to another solar system is set to arrive in 2029

Gliese 581 in constellation Libra will receive "A Message From Earth" sometime in 2029. Sent in 2008, the message will have taken 21 years to arrive.

This is a list of the Interstellar Radio Messages (IRMs) sent so far, but I suspect they've probably sent many more than they're admitting to...

Stephen Hawking issued a warning about reaching out to potential alien civilizations via interstellar messaging...

Quote:Hawking's warning is rooted in the idea that an alien civilization, especially one that can pick up our signals and understand where they're coming from, has the potential to be billions of years more advanced than us, making us an easy target to overthrow or invade.

Quote:"A Message from Earth" is a high-powered digital radio signal that was sent on October 9, 2008 towards Gliese 581c. The signal is a digital time capsule containing 501 messages that were selected through a competition on the social networking site Bebo.

Well, I guess there's solace in the fact that social media in 2008 was probably far less atrocious and morally degraded than it is today, but still.

Dissolved in 2022...

They really need to be a little more choosy about what they're beaming into space.

Twitter will probably still be around in 2029 if the world doesn't end...

Should have gone with Twitter instead...

See, this is the problem with interstellar radio messages and how long they take to reach the target.

It's kinda ridiculous.

But like I've said before...

The best we can ever hope for is to receive radio transmissions from distant worlds, just like the ones we've sent out.

Beaming signals is pretty much the only way we can actually communicate with distant worlds, at least physically.

Interdimensional stuff is another matter, whole other ballgame. I don't consider interdimensional beings "aliens"... to me, aliens are strictly physical lifeforms on other planets.

It seems like the only entities we've been in contact with so far are these freaky interdimensionals who apparently give all kinds of advanced tech secrets to "researchers" who trip on DMT (and do worse) to communicate with them...
