Music for Aliens !
on Tue Sep 27, 2016 6:15 pm
Carl Sagan’s Voyager Golden Record — of sounds of Earth, recorded greetings and an eclectic mix of music that was sent into space — has long been out of print and pretty much unobtainable for decades.
One copy of the record is attached to NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has entered interstellar space, the farthest artefact ever tossed out by humanity. A second copy, on Voyager 2, is not quite as distant, just 10 billion miles away.
Both are receding from Earth at more than 35,000 miles per hour.

So, our scientists think the aliens use the same frequency range (20~20kHz) for listening and same wavelengths of the light to see and touch and feel the same way as us?
The artifact would be more interesting for future space travelers from Earth rather than for Aliens.

Lots of reasoning have been done, before creating that Gold record.
Why and how some languages got in there have been well explained too.
(As I said in another thread, they believe that "Hela Basa" was something endowed to us from an outer space and that way why it made the cut, omitting some of the widely spoken languages).
