The title is <em>Cosmos<\/em>, a 2019 sci-fi mystery film directed by Elliot Weaver and Zander Weaver. To be honest, the whole film starts off rather slowly, but as the film progresses, it becomes engaging onward. The story tells of three amateur astronomers, played by Tom England, Joshua Ford, and Arjun Singh Panam, who find themselves in a forest for nocturnal observations and at one point intercept radio signals of apparently impossible origin. Without going too far into the plot of the film, which you can surely watch, without then complaining about the lost time, at a certain point the so-called message of Arecibo is mentioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Arecibo message?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arecibo message is a radio message transmitted into space by the Arecibo radio telescope, Puerto Rico, on November 16, 1974. It was directed towards the <em>Globular Cluster of Hercules<\/em>, 25,000 light-years away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message is made up of 1679 binary digits, a number specially chosen as the product of two prime numbers (23 and 73). In this way, assuming that anyone who receives it decides to sort it in a quadrilateral, they can only do so by sorting it in 23 rows and 73 columns or 73 rows and 23 columns. The information thus arranged in the first arrangement (23 rows, 73 columns) produces a meaningless drawing, but in the second mode (73 rows, 23 columns) it forms an image in which information can be recognized (<em>Drake&#8217;s cryptogram<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diagram would look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supersurge.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/arecibo-message.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1080\" width=\"300\" height=\"900\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Reading from left to right and top to bottom, it shows the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>the numbers from one (1) to ten (10) in binary format;<\/li><li>the atomic numbers of the elements hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus;<\/li><li>the formula of sugars and nucleotide bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA);<\/li><li>the number of nucleotides in the DNA;<\/li><li>a graphic representation of the DNA double helix;<\/li><li>a graphic representation of a man and the size (physical height) of an average man;<\/li><li>the population of the Earth;<\/li><li>a graphical representation of the solar system;<\/li><li>a graphic representation of the Arecibo radio telescope and the dimensions of the transmitting antenna.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As the message will take 25,000 years to reach its destination (plus an additional 25,000 years for a possible response) the Arecibo message is more a demonstration of mankind&#8217;s technological achievements than an actual attempt to hold a conversation with an alien race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message was devised by Dr. Frank Drake (at the time a lecturer at Cornell University and creator of the famous Drake equation) with the help of Carl Sagan, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Numbers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"265\" height=\"121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supersurge.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/arecibo1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1081\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading from left to right, the numbers 1 to 10 appear in binary format.
