SETI radio array Scientists Create New Communication Technique For “First Contact”

The search for the “little green men” or the extra terrestrial life in the universe has now been further simplified, with the invention of an all new code that, is expected to make the message from earth more understandable to the intelligent life forms out there in the universe.

As per a recent study conducted by geoscientist Michael Busch and physicist Rachel Reddick who are affiliated to the California Institute of Technology and Stanford University respectively, there has been immense emphasis on the need to listen to broadcasts made from ET, but there have hardly been any concrete steps taken to ensure that, a listening entity could pick up a broadcast made from Earth.

Busch and Reddick have therefore devised an all new code that in theory would be quite easy for the alien races to decipher, in case a welcome message from plant earth is intercepted by any such entity. The duo felt the need of a much easier decipherable message because, they strongly believe that, the previous two attempts to broadcast a message from us to them had been too heavily encoded and that could prove to be hindrance in “first contact”.

In the past, the scientists had attempted to contact any intelligent life out there by sending messages from earth with the help of the Arecibo message program that sent a coded message to the star cluster M13 in the year 1974. The other attempt was made in the year 1999 and 2003 respectively, during which Cosmic Calls were sent into the space, mainly consisting of the codes and mathematical equations.
