>>28993009Here's the thing though, I don't think our first "meeting" with extraterrestrial life would be sentient, it's more likely a microbial form, right? For them to be able to "contact" us they would have to have thousands and thousands of years of advanced technology and thinking compared to us. And we are definitely not at that level technology wise.
As you said, it's more likely a coded language. But it certainly is interesting.
