aliens?
- braiamp 1y agoMost likely, a very far away pulsar.
- delichon 1y agoPointed at Earth by aliens.
- ataru 1y agoAny self respecting alien would send the signal every 42 minutes.
- NewJazz 1y agoSee ya soon and please be ready with the fish!
- unsnap_biceps 1y agoIt says the burst lasts 2 minutes, so it would be 42 minutes of silence followed by 2 minutes of signal for a 44 minute cycle.
- hkt 1y agoMaybe there's more redshift than they intended!
- lostmsu 1y agoMany aliens would have to have computed the Answer independently as the news from Douglas haven't reached them yet.
- fuzztester 1y agoyou've got to think deeper. the concept of self respect itself may be alien to "aliens". it's a human construct / concept. also, stop calling them aliens. it is disrespectful. (otherwise they might zap us with their thought cannon, compared to which light sabers are like toothpicks.) they have as much right to be in this universe as we have. the term "alien" is a human and sci-fi construct. and sci-fi is, well, fi(ction). call them extra terrestrial beings, or just other beings. we need to realise that other beings can have other sets of values than we do, or even none. heck, they may not even have the concept of values. and there is nothing wrong with that. i can go on, but I'll stop here. my other being friends are calling me for a get together.

- 100721 1y agoI mean, there are humans without values. We don’t have to go far.
- fuzztester 1y agoif you mean hitler, he was an alien.
- NoPicklez 1y agoWell, they are alien to us, but that doesn't mean we need to alienate them. A being is also a human construct / concept.
- fuzztester 1y ago>Well, they are alien to us, but that doesn't mean we need to alienate them. True. I didn't see anyone saying that here. >A being is also a human construct / concept. Yep. It can be an alien one too, though.
