NASA to Launch Nude Drawings into Space in attempt to Contact Aliens
A study has been published explaining how the images will actually be pixilated nude stencils of a man and a woman next to a drawing of their DNA.
This plan will be a part of NASA’s “Beacon in the Galaxy” project, which aims to send a message to alien civilizations that may exist in the Milky Way.
The male and female stencils will be waving hello and each drawing will have a binary coded message attached to this, asking alien lifeforms to make contact. Scientists are under the impression that the binary code could be extensively understood by extra-terrestrials.
“Though the concept of mathematics in human terms is potentially unrecognizable to extra-terrestrial intelligence, binary is likely universal across all intelligence,” the study reads.
“Binary is the simplest form of mathematics as it involves only two opposing states: zero and one, yes or no, black or white, mass or empty space.”
“The proposed message includes basic mathematical and physical concepts to establish a universal means of communication followed by information on the biochemical composition of life on Earth, the Solar System’s time-stamped position in the Milky Way relative to known globular clusters, as well as digitized depictions of the Solar System, and Earth’s surface.”
The Pioneer plaques sent to space on the 1972 Pioneer 10 and 1973 Pioneer 11 missions also included drawings of naked humans making this not the first time that NASA have tried to use sketches of naked humans to try and make alien contact.
