The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
In the 1960s scientists launched a quest to contact other intelligent life in the universe. (Some would say we have yet to discover intelligent life on Earth, but that’s another article entirely.) The scientists were hopeful that not only would extra-terrestrials be discovered but that we might communicate with them and one day meet them. To that end a binary code was created that contained information about us. In light of how humans can’t seem to get along with humans (Oh no Madge, it’s a man in a dress!) Graham Holmes has devised a more appropriate message for E.T.
