Scientists have been writing notes to aliens since 1974, but they haven't shown us much love yet.
We humans don't quit. According to Scientific American, researchers have created a new message to send out to any intelligent life who might be out there, and provided more detail about a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study published in early March. Jonathan Jiang is a scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
The proposed message includes basic mathematical and physical concepts to establish a universal means of communication.
There is a cute little graphic of two human beings, as well as details on DNA, the periodic table and an invitation to respond.
What would you say if you had the chance to chat with an alien? Would you befriend them or hide? According to Sheri Wells- Jensen, associate professor at Bowling Green State University, scientists ponder the same questions. It can be hard to agree on what to do with alien life forms.
I don't live in fear of an invading horde, but other people do. We have a responsibility to include as many people as possible.
We have detected radio signals from deep space in the past that raised suspicions, at least initially, that they could be sent by an intelligent civilization. Some scientists think aliens could communicate with starlight alone.
It's impossible to say how any given life form will respond to any of Earth's messages, but we hope they respond as a call for communication, not a direct visit.
Scientists say they are close enough to visit a life-friendly planet.
