@nicotinefist Its the chemical composition of the earth and its differentiated structure. The numbers within the circles represent the different chemical elements according to atomic number. The fractions represent the percentages of each element in each layer. Aliens migh identify the circles as Earth due to the fact that the size and mass are in the picture (as they were explained in previous images). Also, aliens might recognize the numbers within the circles as elements, as explained before.
It's so great to see that Bach as a composer is considered the voice of humanity and an audiovisual image of humanity would never be complete without his music.
A Biologist involved in the golden record project answered the question which message humanity should send to other civilizations that he would send the complete works of Bach.
At 4:19, I heard that scientists refused to send this photo, calling it smut. Just think, if aliens in far off galaxies knew we were so ashamed of our own reproductive system!
just imagine if (and that is a big IF) a extraterrestrial species do find the golden album with all theses pictures, imagine the questions that they would ask about our Culture and ideas.
it has been almost over a 100AU now ,,,,no man made object has gone that far into space ,,soon it might leave or might not ...it could perhaps take a curve and start orbiting like dwarf at the end of our solar system ,,,,,,,we are not here forever but let me tell you it is just the beginning
If you can find a translation of the Voyager Interstellar Record plate, it shows how to play the included video. Is this the actual video ? or a synopsis. Please tell me the actual video doesn't have the tacky bar mitzvah video transitions between pictures.
"A billion years from now, when everything that we have ever built on Earth has crumbled into dust, when the continents are changed beyond recognition, and our species is unimaginably altered, or extinct, the Voyager Record will still speak for us."
Extraordinary! That this portrait of the beauty of human civilization--however unrealistic--was launched into the cosmos says something very hopeful about the future of our world.
Gracias! Estas fotos muestran quienes somos, como especie. Yo solo las puse en YouTube, pero ciertamente fue un fabuloso trabajo de quienes lo hicieron.
I recently run into this material from the companion CD to the book Murmurs of Earth.
These are the pictures and 2 of the many audio tracks sent to space in the Voyagers. The pictures are amazing and I believe viewers should pause the video and look at each one carefully to realize their value.
This is the actual material; whoever took that picture must have wanted that watermark. In the CD there is also one 'blank' picture. The owner of the picture, if I remember correctly, did not allow them to put the picture in the CD. So, while the picture went to the stars, there was only a placemark in the CD. I just skipped it.
maybe the record is sucked up by a black hole and send back in space and time, fallin on to earth again but in egypsian times.
