Plot twist, all these messages are going to be found by future humans who are going to think they are evidence of alien life

Plot twist: the aliens show up with a 3 billion tonne cup of sugar.

That was the best intro graphic I’ve ever witnessed. I laughed for 20 minutes.

I still get a kick out of people thinking the pioneer message was pornographic. 😂 I’d love to see someone try to build a record player using the voyager instructions.

3:33 Eyy Winamp 😂 I still use good ol Winamp daily.

I like how we send a message for aliens that most of us humans can't understand

a lot of us can't communicate effectively with members of our own species.

After that arecibo message was sent, some heroes created several crop formations right next to the arecibo dish/antenna, whatever. Its absolutely shocking how well done this crop art is. one of the formations was sort of a copy of the arecibo image but made to depict and locate the "ETs" that were responding to OP. Another of the crop formations was an absolutely enormous image of a bulbous headed, big eyed ET with a big circle in its hand which is filled with a binary message in the form of a spiral. it translated to some warnings about humans mistreating the planet and stuff like that, its a super cool image.

Good old aliens, whether 1968 or 2024, they are still doing a cracking job of not arriving on earth.

The last comment about ‘Earth 2’ might probably be the outcome that wins out…. While we keep trying to communicate in radio, the rest of the galaxy is texting each other with tachyons….

6:18 are you telling me we’re sending messages out to aliens and no one is “spellchecking”? thats like submitting a job application you wrote while you’re drunk.

They gave it to their kids. "Look, Legos. --- Dad, can we cut it up? ---- Yea, but wash your hands afterwards we don't know where that thing came from."

Simon. I can't believe I've found you on yet another channel. You have an addiction my man.

Independence day scene with the welcome aliens ppl on top of the skyscraper 😂

Earth 2 is lovely this time of year.

I think we should start a gofundme to broadcast all of Simon’s youtube videos into space. Aliens will conclude that Humans are all bald and bearded.

The ending i was hoping for 😂

I thought Simon was going to end the final sentence with: "...and then steal their cultural heritage to put in the British Museum."

My friend gave me a commemorative box made by Warner Bros. for the golden record. It contained a gold CD and a book describing the project and what's on the record. The problem is that the images/sounds are contained within a GRASP multimedia file and the player was designed for MS-DOS and won't run in Windows, even in a command prompt window. I've found a GRASP player online but that won't work either. Anyway, the digital files are useless but anyone will be able to read the book years from now.

It would be cool to take these things and have modern experts who aren't aware of them try to decipher their meanings, and see how ridiculous the idea is that an alien might be able to do it.

For anyone that might be interested, the channel UpamdAtom did a fun video on the Arecibo Message where she decodes it as if we're trying to understand a message received from space. It's a great video from a wonderful channel 😁

They could be so advanced it be like a child trying to text on a rotary phone..We have animals on earth that can see and hear different than us living on the same planet. They might have sent thousands of things we can't see or hear.

Can't wait for Earth 2

When the Pioneer plaques were shown to the public, people had a lot of fun figuring out ways that the aliens could completely misunderstand the message. For example, aliens who don't understand perspective drawings might look at the diagram and conclude that the female human is firing darts out of her left shoulder.

Earth 2 lets go

Oh Simon! How very hopefully you said that last sentence! Can’t argue with the logic though.

Simon, yiu have so many channels and so much content, we need a dedicated EPG 😂❤

Loved this episode!

Great video!! So interesting to think about different ways of approaching this! Of course people complain about the depiction of the humans on that imagine ugh.

2:45 - Chapter 1 - The arecibo message 9:30 - Chapter 2 - The pioneer plaques 13:25 - Chapter 3 - The voyager golden record 16:10 - Wrap up

Aliens nuking earth because a raised hand is a grave insult in their culture

According to experts such as Niklas Hedman, executive director of UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, there are "no international agreements or mechanisms in place for how humanity would handle an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence".

I just hope Aliens aren’t hostile.

"Send more Chuck Berry!"

I imagine aliens receiving our message only for it to play out as Abbot and Costello’s “Who’s on First?”

If we finally make contact with aliens and they have access to KZfaq, that last sentence is going to bite you in the ass.

the ending soo true go humanity haha

In 50 years this video is going to be watched by aliens who haven't developed the concept of sarcasm, they'll watch the last few seconds and then decide to wipe us out lol.

Well said !

No alien will be able to decipher any of this

Earth 2 - first human arrives and says " sorry lads, my god said its my land now"

Shout out to Simon, who manages to host 815 YT channels. Each of which is entertaining 😂

You have to admit, it'd be pretty funny if aliens showed up speaking Klingon because they think that's what we all speak on earth lol😂

Earth 2 lets go !!!

if aliens get the Arecibo message they will just think we have accidentally broadcast a Tetris solution of some kind.

Dude... Jeez! How many channels do you have?!

Would be very interesting to give this to a university in 1523 and see if they figure it out. Math was at that point well established, so they would probably get the picture quite quickly. But figuring out the atomic weights of things.... IDK. They have no concepts of atoms as a thing.

If you play the message from the uranium plated record backwards, it says “WE WILL CONQUER YOU! Please don’t kill us!” Lol 😂

long lived the Terran Empire

Ah, Earth 2, Where do I drop my garbage?!?

Exactly.

I would love to buy a DVD or Bluray recording of that Klingon opera. I've seen only a clip of it online so far...

Aliens got to watch Star Trek and Star Wars, and now they think we're way more advanced than we actually are. They're gearing up for war, lol.

Between this video, your conspiracy theory videos, and the whole "aliens in the Miami mall" thing, I'd really love to hear your commentary on the theories about aliens living in Antarctica and the alien portal in Antarctica.

im curious if the signal was sent on a vector that intercepts the cluster or just pointed at it

How many channels have you got dude?

Has any team of experts who doesn't now about the Arecibo message and how it is decoded been given the message and asked to decode it?

Damn, the ending got dark! 😮

I Want What You're Having ! (better than Meds) 😊 !! Give it to the Aliens Too !?😮🎉😊 !!

bro owns 50% of youtube

They should transmit the Voynich Manuscript... see if they can figure it out. 😂

I hope this video (especially the last part) gets sent to the aliens 👽👾

I'm pretty sure as soon as the aliens started getting our reality tv transmissions, they decided we are neither an advanced, nor intelligent species worth contacting.

I'm not saying it's Aliens , I'm SCREAMING that it most definitely IS ALIENS !

How many channels does Simon have?

Winamp is still a thing? I didn't know.

The best way would probably be a Dyson sphere. Although that's near impossible to do obviously.

Wow another channel do we get a prize if we collect them all?

Funny thing is, I'm crying over how innocent we come across for doing this attempt to communicate; that we give the aliens far more credit than we should for having become or remained peaceful instead of the arrogant, homicidal idiots that we still are. The big gun or the good package?

Given the ways humanity behaves. If there was intelligent life up there, it's gonna be avoiding us for a while yet. People are driving cars that cost a million dollars while others starve . What could we possibly have to offer

Meets aliens (Aliens contract smallpox and Spanish flu)

Just in case any 👾are watching he was joking at the end 😅

If I'm wrong, please correct me. If the radio message was sent in the 1970's, won't it take over 25,000 years to get where it's going? And that would be if the waves were traveling at the speed of light. So, at least 50,000 years for travel both ways? So, we may get something in 52,204 years?

Bugger! Thought Id be first. Well done first one

Any alien civilisation located 57 light years, or so, from Earth, will be picking up the first episodes of Star Trek right now.

Yeah, I do not think we could even communicate in math, as there is no guarantee they use even basic counting mechanisms like us or that they would necessarily relate them to numbers. Like Hydrogen for example. One proton, one electron. Easy, but what if their language for "1" is a triangle, or something completely unintelligible to us? Two dots might mean nothing to them. I would think without probably years of study of each other it would be impossible.

There was actually a crop circle. Reply to the aerosible message next to another radio telescope that actually had different things for the aliens

There's enough evidence throughout all of known history that we've been visited by some one unknown from an unknown place

IMO, if we are to have any chance communicating with Aliens we first need to learn how to communicate with the various animals on earth first. Certain animals are theoretically very intelligent, yet we currently cannot openly communicate or fully understand them.

We couldn't decipher ancient hieroglyphs Until we found the Rosetta stone, and there are still to this day ancient scripts we cant decipher despite being of the same species. what make you think aliens are going to be able to decode this and read it? also these satellites are so teeny tiny compared to the space they travel in, they are microscopic needles in a rather large hey stack.

radio and tv signals will become noise

Yet another channel in the Whistlerverse

I had a recurring dream years ago - aliens intercepted one of the voyager probes and after deciphering the codes and accessing the data on the golden disc - their way of acknowledging the message and such was to analyse the frequencies used between the probe and earth, and to lay the audio of the golden disc back at earth on that frequency In the dream, the groups monitoring the probes were dejected that after so many years they’d lost contact, someone still monitored though just in case, and was at first confused then overwhelmed with “wait…what the F###” In the same vein as englands pre-prepared plans and procedures for when her late majesty Elizabeth II passed - if such contact were to occur - does NASA or the UN or any other such body have plans in place as to how to react and proceed Might be a good idea for a future video but I don’t know how to tag whilst on phone

>Mentions Winamp Kevin you're really dating yourself here. Says me who's still using Winamp for his music enjoyment.

Been here for a long time and you humans can't even communicate with yourselves!

Why is humanity seemingly afraid of "Aliens" without ever really meeting one? We are afraid of them because we know how cruel people are to each other so, we would automatically assume they are the same way and be cruel too. I am sure they would take a look and say "those dumb asses are doomed" and keep on moving across the universe.

All hail Simon, the Factboi! (it's not a cult. seriously. i don't know what you're talking about)

from mariana trench to deep space humans have littered

Imagine if a alien probe encounters our probe, alters and adds it's technology and sends it back to cleanse the earth.

the first message I would send would be "what up with this amal probing Guys, no funny"

I predict that the pioneers will be captured long before they reach any other star system...by human antique collectors. That will be between 50 and 100 years by now.

The aliens don't want to talk with us bc we have been acting kind of desprate

what happens if the Borg turn up, becareful what you wish for

Well since we're not broadcasting any messages at FTL speeds it's doubtful the first message sent has even made it to our nearest neighbour, let alone somewhere 25000 light years away FFS.

Haha!

What if.... aliens already know we're here, and they set up a barrier 13.7 billion light-years away, to prevent any transmissions from getting in or out? We could be in a giant stellar terrarium and not even know it.

We are both giving messages and have an open brodcast

I feel like any Alien species that is advanced enough to hear and interpret our message, and then REACH us afterwords will most likely have advanced so far as to not NEED anything from us they couldn't get in literal abundance anywhere else. One could maybe also argue that the fact they spent any time bothering with the message at all would also signify they don't see us as too far beneath them.

For us to have any kind of semi reasonable two way communication with Aliens that are about as advanced as us, the aliens would have to be living within a handful of light years at most.

Hawking's fears were nonsense, by the time aliens find us based on these messages we'll be either superadvanced or extinct.
