>> [_] Anon 2671172 >># It's pretty clear to me that the circles are hydrogen atoms. The Pulsar map would be a bigger riddle, but it's actually a very elegant solution. Once you figure out the hydrogen atom, you know that tic marks are notation for a unit of time, so you'd figure that the tic marks in the pulsar map are telling you something about short period oscillations of SOMETHING. Since this thing came from space, you'd say, "hmm, what space things have periods of variation of some observable quantity this short?" and you'd figure it's pulars, because that's what pulsar means.
>> [_] Anon 2671173 >># (Continued) I get that this is probably pretty opaque to most people, but most people aren't astrophysicists. Carl Sagan hoped that inquisitiveness etc. was a universal virtue of intelligent beings, and that any intelligence that eventually discovered a human artifact would put just as much effort into understanding it as he knew we would, if we discovered an alien artifact. As such, he was pretty confident that the aliens would bring the Golden Record (or the Pioneer Plaque, which also has this pulsar map) to their local version of astrophysicists, and that they would be able to figure it out. I mean, what physicist doesn't know a hydrogen atom when she sees one?

When the answer comes out looking "wrong," but everything about what they did is right, they show it to their friends and say "hey, why isn't this right?" And their friends say "hmm, yeah, I got that too... What's up with that?" So they take it to an experimentalist or an observer and say "hey, can you check, does this really happen?" and the observer says "oh, I saw something funny the other day! Maybe this has something to do with it!" And once they've all agreed that some crazy math problem is actually empirically happening in the real world, they go home and try to think about what it means. "Dark Matter" for instance is just called that because they don't know what it is. Some people went home and thought "maybe it's just little moons and planets floating around in the dark, so that's why we can't see it," and other thought "maybe it's black holes" or "maybe it's an entirely new type of matter!"

>> [_] Anon 2671204 >># >he believes in a gravity based model of the universe rather than the electric universe theory the reason we dont go the moon anymore is because we actually dont know shit about space and only got really lucky with our past attempts. Everyone pretends that the apllo missions and space shuttle explosions were horrible unpredictable tragedies but they were actually statistical certainties. Every time a manned mission was sent up it was basically a huge dice roll to see if things would go horribly wrong or not, and eventually we ran out of luck. Hell, when the germans were first dreaming of space rockets they didnt even know about radiaiton in space. The nazi scientists that the usa brought over after the war had this really ambitious project to send people to mars and had they actually been given the ok, every single astronaut would have died.
>> [_] Anon 2671209 >># The thing is, what you get taught in school about how 'atoms' look, with their little circling electrons, is entirely theoretical. Nobody has actually seen that before. And if you think about it critically, there's no way that everything around you is actually made up of uniformed synchronized particals moving in the same orderly prediction. Think about people. People are all different. Now go down the list of life forms. All dogs are different. All reptiles are different, all insects are varied and different. Bacteria are varied and different.

Not like it'd survive crashing into a planet in the abysmally small chance that such a collision ever occurred, and said planet had life, and said life was even sentient. Of course, it all assumes that the aliens would be even remotely similar to humans in how we process information. They try to avoid cultural symbols like arrows which are indecipherable on their own, but even without those it can still be indecipherable if the aliens have never even used 2D representations of data like that before.

>> [_] Anon 2671258 >># I do think any spacefaring alien species would be able to interpret the contents of the disc fairly easily, though. It's similar to breaking encryption, you try a bunch of different algorithms until the seemingly random data gives an obviously patterned output. The images on the disc would then verify the algorithm is correct. Of course, it's doubtful the images and songs contained in it would be meaningful to aliens. There's no evolutionary requirement for sight or hearing, especially not sight and hearing identical to that of humans. Would a 2 dimensional image mean anything to something like a purely mechanical species that observes the universe through broad spectrum 3D sensors positioned over large areas of space? The pulsar map to earth is probably the most useful information on the thing, honestly.
