Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI)
LONDON — “In 2008, NASA beamed the Beatles song “Across the Universe” into deep space, sending a message of peace to any extraterrestrial who happens to be in the region of Polaris, also called the North Star, in 2439,” reports Richard Ingham for AFP.
“Amazing! Well done, NASA!” Paul McCartney said. “Send my love to the aliens.”
“As the citizens of Planet Earth strive ever more enthusiastically to reach E.T., some experts say numerous messages zipping through the cosmos are confusing or little more than space spam,” reports Ingham ”Others ask who has the right to represent our world to the galaxy — or question the wisdom of bellowing out our presence in what may be a hostile neighbourhood.”
“A lot of the stuff is very responsible, but I do wonder about some of the other stuff that’s being transmitted,” Albert Harrison, a professor of social psychology at the University of California at Davis, said at a conference at the Royal Society in London on Monday.
“There’s pictures of celebrities, of two political candidates — one identified as good, the other identified as evil — snack-food commercials, love letters to rock stars and so on.”
He added: “When you start broadcasting and drawing attention to yourself, you have to be very cautious about the image you give. We might appear as a threat to them.
“We don’t know what will be made of these messages and it could be years and years before we find out.”
