Studying how extraterrestrials might communicate could help prepare for first contact and also hint at the point of language itself
Analysis: I have always suspected that our time scales (both lifetimes and sensory perception) filter our reality. Given the great distances involved (nearest Star other than Sun is 7 light years away) I always thought if aliens were going to communicate with us it would have to be at time scales that we can live with.
That means the only communication which at minimum would have to be round trip would need to complete the circuit in a single lifetime or it cannot affect me.
Either aliens' can
- Obviate time
- Are already communicating with us
- Are communicating through the laws of scienc! Particularly physics through quantum:
- Entanglement
- Gravity
Pursuing those lines I am point an AI engine at fLaC files to try and understand the resonance hidden in music. Web References https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/xenolinguistics-the-study-of-alien-languages-helps-to-reveal-why-all-beings/
One big takeaway from Pepperberg’s winged subjects (and Earth’s other animals) is that nonhuman communication is more sophisticated and varied than people assume—and that it encompasses modes of interaction and expression humans don’t even have access to. Dogs smell their world; dolphins and bats hear sounds at much higher frequencies than humans can; birds see ultraviolet light. Given that these animals evolved on the same planet as us, how could we possibly know how extraterrestrials might obtain and transmit information?
