Might”A Beacon in the Galaxy” be our new “Three-body problem” (by Cixin Liu)
This paper proposes to transmit an “updated Arecibo-like” message to a star cluster near the galaxy’s center, a “selected region of the Milky Way which has been proposed as the most likely for life to have developed”. Caleb Schwarf summarizes the issue here. Even if we set aside the possibility of conflict, maybe discussions on Space Governance should include how we might communicate with other types of intelligent life, like “at least don’t mention that we kill animals”.
