Wowee... BTW this may be a weird question but if we write something in like binary or morse, they were invented by us humans, so how would aliens know what the hell we're saying if they've never seen them before? The last thing I want is them misreading the writings and think we want to start a war and before you even know it, boom world war 3: universe edition
That "Hello, we existed...!" line really got me somehow. Like, yeah... that's what it'd be, isn't it? "Hello... we existed! Didn't really work out, but - better luck to you guys! You can do it!" What a message to effectively leave behind...
It's absolutely chilling to me that when the next "organism" will touch or sense the plaques we will ALL be dead and there wont be anything left of earth. Its not even a maybe. Mind blowing
God I'd love to make the most horrific realistic drawlings. All terrible things humanity has done and could do. It'd be half a joke half serious hatred for this shindig. I'd also put "heavy" music and scary books in there too so that we still have something awesome and mysterious that shows potential. Limited bullshit though, that'd be tough. Even smart people are insane, I would want this to be a warning not gloating. Infact that'd be more loving than lying even after we die.
With currently possible technology, any exploration of "outer" space (for other habitable planets) will only be possible thousands of years after life on earth is no longer possible. Because anything we send up now or in the future to explore it, will only get there long after humanity, and possibly Earth, is dead. How's that one for you?
Ethan Michiels Because "outer" is a completely relative term in our human perspective from earth and our local solar system. If you were in the Andromeda galaxy, our solar system is "outer" space.
Every time I think about all the messages and gifts we've sent out into the Universe, I get emotional. I just imagine them traveling for lightyears and lightyears, and maybe one day arriving into the curious arms of an alien civilization who, just like us, always wondered if they were alone. And then I imagine them, excitedly, exhaustedly, trying to decipher what we've written. Decoding the instructions on the record case. Putting the record on, and hearing us. Maybe not knowing exactly what they are about to experience. But then the first sounds come through and it thrills them. Our voices, and our music and our greetings. Despite the language barrier, I can't imagine how beautiful it would be to hear such a thing after dreaming of it for so long. It is a little bittersweet, though. After translating all the information on the items, they sit back, full of wonder and excitement, and yet full of sorrow. Because they know exactly how far away these beings are from them now. They are listening to a time capsule. The thought of this has always made me cry.
I also think of the opposite. I wonder if there are alien satellites with their own history hidden in them floating around space waiting for us or another civilization to come in contact with it. The concept that there could be dozens of objects from different civilizations floating in space waiting to be discovered is both exciting but also saddening. If they are out there, how many of them are from civilizations that still exist, and how many are now long gone? If we ever find their rements, would we be able to determine if that civilization is still alive?
Imagine, somehow, these disks land on a planet inhabited by still *UNINTELLIGENT* humanoid life forms and they get used as like, plates for eating dinner on.
What if they evolve over millions of years learning and growing and eventually set to the starts and find us. They approach and speak all languages and tell us how we are like a god to them and how their society is based on what the disks told them.

I looked... This reminds me of a comment from The Hitcher's Guide to the Galaxy... "If you give an infinite number of chimps tapping away on an infinite number of typewriters for an infinite amount of time. One of them will produce the script for Romeo and Juliet" If you research what you just searched for, and add a word that is next to what it found, it will find your text in a different location.
Stuart Welch the difference with the infinite chimp scenario is that not only will you find the entire Romeo and Juliet script once, but an infinite amount of times because that’s how infinity works. with the library, the contents are fundamentally limited because it uses a finite number of symbols to create a finite amount of combinations. this doesn’t really add anything to the conversation but it’s an interesting distinction i think.
Aliens arriving in 8 million years: *”Hey sorry I’m late I just got your message my phone has been acting up lately I think it’s because of the new iOS upda-“* *Earth is a barren wasteland* Aliens: *”Well shit.”*

This is one of Vsauce’s greatest moments. And “Olive” by Jake Chudnow is one of the most dizzyingly profound pieces of music I’ve ever heard. It’s as simple and unpretentious as it is beautiful and existential, just as these videos are.
Theres no experience quite like watching this alone at 3am. Its terrifying, creepy, existential, sad and awe inducing everytime i come back to watch it again. Thank you so much for this Vsauce.
Vsauce is just incredible, he inspired me to go to university for a physics degree in 2013 and now I am fortunate enough to work on what I truly love all because of him
And somehow, hilarious while high because you start to realize just how deep this guy really gets about ideas, and we don't know how to process it so we just laugh it off.
This episode, much like Our Narrow Slice, is actually LIFE CHANGING. I first watched this years ago, and it immediately (and permanently) made Vsauce my favorite UA-camr of all time. I rewatch this one every few months. It is such a grand source of inspiration for me, on an emotional level that makes my eyes swell every single time. This video is the purest form of artwork you'll find on UA-cam. Thank you, Michael.

Real talk: the Voyager disk is supposed to be a culmination of human scientific knowledge, but it looks and feels like a library of arcane secrets. It's chock full of plot hooks for a fascinating science fiction story. Just imagine the story of a young boy on an alien world that one day discovered the Voyager disk.
It would be like the cryptic map from Treasure Planet. The child would be launched into an adventure full of wonder and mystery. Maybe the aliens have a lot of problems on their planet, just like us. Maybe they haven't discovered anyone else yet, either. And maybe, just maybe, that boy becomes the bridge between two worlds. I'd love to read that book.
@@Drekromancer I remember a short story titled Pots where aliens find the Voyager disk and after finally decoding the disk and locating Earth they arrive only to find we had wiped ourselves out and the bulk of the story of them sifting through what little remains trying to understand who we were and why we would do this to ourselves. A very good story, if a somber one.

Can you imagine if the opposite happened? We, humans, find a "machine" that was sent, millions and millions of years ago, into the infinite space by a long gone civilization... I just want to live to see it all.
:O now I want this so bad! Trying to decypher their units, language, coordinates, how to play back the message, and then finally send a response in that same language, and that will be our first sure contact with them, we will be sure someone can understand it... as long as they are not extinct by the time it gets tto them again :/ aghh why is this so hard..
Well he implied that that message from aliens would be as a response to the message that we sent out only 45 years ago, meaning that, if there is intelligent life there, we'd be receiving that message approximately 50000 years from 1974

Long time subscriber. Long before i even had this particular profile. Watching your videos through the years has entertained and altered my life and perspectives. Thank you Michael. Thank you Vsauce.
Its kinda sad that we will never be able to know what happened to our messages. We will never know if they ever got found, and even if they did, we will never know if they understood the message or how they reacted.
Unless the Singularity happens in our life time and we exist as virtual uploads that can last as long as the universe. That’s what I hope for - I just hope Trump and Juliani don’t make it to this event as between them they’d lower the collective IQ of the whole race

@KADMON BALDWIN library of Babel is not a biggie. But what is a big deal is the fact that I know every single word that you said in your comment, as well as the comments before you. In fact I have heard most of the words that you have said so far in your life. I hope you are somehow confused as to why I wrote this comment. Good day.
I believe the premise was to show how language is not inherited but either made or interpreted. That's what humans did, that's what any other life form does or can do, limited only by the level of thinking. Meaning higher life forms with greater and more developed level of thinking can do it faster than the others. In either way, yes, aliens can understand without being 'English speaking'.
But imagine that though, the conditions for life to evolve in the way it did on earth are very specific and fragile, for all we know all intelligent life in the universe could look and act similarly to us.
+XxKINGatLIFExX There's some he's done in the past that get real deep too- I wish I could list the names of them off of the top of my head, but a lot of existential stuff and what not.
minor correction on the library of babel: it contains everything that could be written in relatively modern english, or perhaps a few other languages with the same latin script variation. other human languages are out of its reach.
"The library of Babel" is a short story by Jorge L. Borges where this idea was conceptualized and explored in the early 1940s. A spherical library where all halls are hexagonal, and each one of those halls is the center of the sphere. The library was infinite and yet, mirrors on the halls duplicated its percieved size. An each shelf containded every possible book, short or long, fact or fiction, original or commentary, or even commentary of commentary of commentary; in any language, in any misstranslation. Almost certain thats the inspiration behind this. Curiously the library contains a copy of the original "Library of Babel" by Borges, but also one written by you. It also contains every youtube comment.
“Hello! We were here. We existed” what a chilling line.

Stuart Welch the difference with the infinite chimp scenario is that not only will you find the entire Romeo and Juliet script once, but an infinite amount of times because that’s how infinity works. with the library, the contents are fundamentally limited because it uses a finite number of symbols to create a finite amount of combinations. this doesn’t really add anything to the conversation but it’s an interesting distinction i think.

Top 10 Mysteries Still Yet to Solve
Number 1: The golden disk found in space.
Top Ten Mojo 🤣🤣🤣
Real talk: the Voyager disk is supposed to be a culmination of human scientific knowledge, but it looks and feels like a library of arcane secrets. It's chock full of plot hooks for a fascinating science fiction story. Just imagine the story of a young boy on an alien world that one day discovered the Voyager disk.
It would be like the cryptic map from Treasure Planet. The child would be launched into an adventure full of wonder and mystery. Maybe the aliens have a lot of problems on their planet, just like us. Maybe they haven't discovered anyone else yet, either. And maybe, just maybe, that boy becomes the bridge between two worlds. I'd love to read that book.
@@Drekromancer I remember a short story titled Pots where aliens find the Voyager disk and after finally decoding the disk and locating Earth they arrive only to find we had wiped ourselves out and the bulk of the story of them sifting through what little remains trying to understand who we were and why we would do this to ourselves. A very good story, if a somber one.

I believe the premise was to show how language is not inherited but either made or interpreted.

Meaning higher life forms with greater and more developed level of thinking can do it faster than the others. In either way, yes, aliens can understand without being 'English speaking'.

"The library of Babel" is a short story by Jorge L. Borges where this idea was conceptualized and explored in the early 1940s. A spherical library where all halls are hexagonal, and each one of those halls is the center of the sphere. The library was infinite and yet, mirrors on the halls duplicated its percieved size. An each shelf containded every possible book, short or long, fact or fiction, original or commentary, or even commentary of commentary of commentary; in any language, in any misstranslation.
Almost certain thats the inspiration behind this. Curiously the library contains a copy of the original "Library of Babel" by Borges, but also one written by you.
It also contains every youtube comment.
This is in the library of babel, the story of its creation
@@visceralkonquest use the "search" function on the main page.
i just realized that the library of babel has exact instructions on how to make a hydrogen bomb somewhere in a book
Information on how to make one isn't hard to find, it's getting the materials that's the hard part.
@@tuureluotonen1631Easy, just look up in the library where to get them easily!
So do the nuclear codes
Imagine sending a message to the ailens, then it says
"Network connection failed. Please try again."

Or try one of our internet handshaking protocols.
