WORLD'S MOST PROMISING SETI SIGNAL2-WOW! Signal "BIG EAR"

[agravating1]

send back the same "wow" signal to the direction it came from , simpleWSL.

[Potemtole]

does this dude have a coca chew in his cheek?

[elisprague]

if there was no creator how do you explain existence, if aliens made us, who made them? I dont think people take into account how absolutely perfect our atmosphere is, that stuff doesn't happen by chance .

[gortijx]

@elisprague Blind faith is willful ignorance.

[whtukaII]

@elisprague

ALL atmospheres are "perfect". They are what they are. In the case of Earth's atmosphere, WE simply evolved to be able to breathe it. Some form of alien life could evolve to breathe something entirely different, like those creepy looking things found at the bottom of the ocean that breathe what we consider to be poison. Things just adapt to their environments, the environment isn't there for us.

[NEODarmus]

All scientific evidence so far points to 3 basics.

1) we are alone in the universe

2) there is no god

3 time travel is impossible

just get over it.

[erdal0]

@NEODarmus lol the scientist say that it doesn't necesarry has to be intelligent life forms.

[monolithicbaby]

@NEODarmus You are clearly not aware of actual scientific discoveries. If scientific data points to something it points to the fact that the building blocks of life are abundant throughout the universe and that it is not unthinkable that given the right set of circumstances life can develop elsewhere, even under for humans harsh circumstances. Time travel to the future is possible via the theory of relativity and the existence of 'god' is irrelevant.

[antiazazel]

Has anyone tried to decipre it? is there anything embedded? Have they tried tweaking it at different speeds? or tried to map it 3D instead of keeping it at 2D?

[Zurround100]

How famous would a SETI worker be if he actually got PROOF of alien intellience? I dont count the "wow signal" I mean actually be the first human to CONVERSE with the aliens? Would he be the most famous person of all time?

[yeahdude7]

@Zurround100 TIME magazine person of the year for sure.

[kasuha]

I'm using headphones and this video (or rather its sound) hurts my left ear. Plus I don't understand a word.

[g7txu]

Why does the signal to noise ratio of a man less than two metres away from camera have to be so high ?

[toastmansride]

The second aliens learn about all our stupid ass media and "pop" stars and ppl that are famous for being crack hoes like paris hilton thier gonna blow us the fuck up to end our own misery

[jacksawild]

With all the WMDs we have developed and wars we fight imagine if the thing that kills us is the invention of radio a hundred years ago. Perhaps they're on their way and they're pissed off about our taste in music.

[FelchBelcher]

@jacksawild Music? no, that would only appear as multiple series of harmonic tones to them. HOWEVER, they will vaporize us for Sabado Gigante because they do, in fact, see Don Francisco as a dangerous threat to their existence.

[psychotron911]

do they play WORLD OF WARCRAFT!?!?!??!? jk.... its awsum though the wow signal that is...

[mcmchugh99]

I'd guess that all the atomic and H-bomb explosions since 1945 would also give away earth's position to anyone with advanced technology who happened to be monitoring this vicinity.

[supermandan85]

@mcmchugh99 Christ, I've never thought of that. It's a scary thought, actually. Imagine another being's facial expression upon hearing that! I bet they would know very well what it is.

[Zurround100]

the audio sucks dog crap man, i can barely hear this guy

[an50331]

is it possible to find out where the signal came from?

[buzznandes]

@an50331 it camed from Sagitarius constelation. I think like 200 light-years away. See the wikipedia about the "wow signal".

[MzanZIboy]

@an50331 The constellation Sagittarius. About 200 light years away

[MoreApathy]

The video is out of date in that since '99 there have been a half dozen different messages sent to about 16 different points in space, according to a wiki page. When this video was made, only the Arecibo message had been sent.

[Minton78]

it ended up being a dying star...

[NAlexo]

Irena, check out my vid. Lets talk.

[FiliberkeNys]

In August 1977, a real RADIO signal was detected by Dr Jerry EHMAN at the Big Ear radio telescope of Ohio State University. For more info search the internet for the Wow signal!

I'm not sure if ET can receive our TV-signals as shown in the film Contact as I believe only strong satellite uplinks and strong radar get beyond our solar system...

[IrenaScott]

The WOW signal referred to in the comments was the one detected by Dr. Jerry Ehman.

[Taioz]

No, actually, radio signals may get weaker gradually as they travel through space but they don't all together disappear. So they CAN get our TV signals and normal radio signals from the early 1900's even. And right now they're about 100 light years away. And yes, they radiate in all directions so it's like throwing an explotion of information and hoping not to hit something. Eventually someone will find them.

[UnknownXV]

@Taioz We wouldnt be able to pick up a signal like that, not so far away, but an advance civilization probably could.

The problem is honestly theres no guarantee they are even using radio waves for communication, they may consider that as primitive as we consider two cans and a cord...

[AudioAndroid]

@Taioz well since we have switch to a new type of signal does it travel further or not at all?

[TheWestbrooke]

@FiliberkeNys what you heard was Rick James Super Freak in mores code.
