More than 40 years ago, the so-called “Golden Records” were sent aboard the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft in an attempt to contact alien life forms. Now scientists are preparing a new version of the message to represent modern Earth.
The original records contained audio recordings and images describing life on Earth. The problem, however, is how to make such a message truly accessible and understandable to alien beings.
The researchers propose to create a special hierarchical data system that will reveal the information in stages. The goal is to share our knowledge and emotions, providing a universal understanding of our society and life on Earth.
