For more than a century, humanity’s biggest question marks have been whether we are alone in the universe. Scientists have made many researches and attempts to elucidate this question. Although this unknown situation arouses curiosity for many, it is an issue that should be avoided for some experts.
NASA’s new Moon rocket failed: Tests fail!
NASA Moon rocket tests, which had been going on for a while, were temporarily withdrawn with the decision of NASA. Here are the details!
Signal sent to Milky Way with “Beacon in the Galaxy” initiative
Finally, experts are working on the initiative called “Beacon in the Galaxy” (BITG). The new space note, called Mark in the Galaxy (BITG), was created by Jonathan Jiang, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and his teammates. BITG will beam the Earth’s position into space.
The message, designed to teleport in the Milky Way, was sent in order to communicate with intelligent aliens that might exist. However, sending this note is quite dangerous, according to many experts. Because this note, sent to communicate with intelligent aliens, makes the Earth an open target. Anders Sandberg of the University of Oxford stated that this venture is quite risky.
Many people refuse to take this matter seriously. The subject considered as an enterprise has such a high impact that you really need to take it seriously. The note that can pave the way for the invasion is like a postcard that shares the note “we are here”.
This attempt is not actually happening for the first time. The story of the BITG initiative goes back to a message sent to a star cluster from Puerto Rico’s Arecibo telescope in 1974. The idea of communicating with other life forms in the universe was strongly opposed by Stephen Hawking at the time.
