Wow! To celebrate. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zseiatmg29SsZX0.html Thank you sir.

My question is how long would it take the signal to travel from its point of origin or at least where they think it came from to earth?

​@@mr.nobody9697 let me correct myself, they say Radio wave because of where the signal lies on the visual spectrum of course being the speed of light lmao.... I hope that makes sense.

Speed of sound?

Event Horizon Looking forward to it! 👍

I think we sent back a message back to them but it’ll take 17,000 years for it to get there.

Event Horizon definitelyyyyy😭😂🤞🏾💀

right lmaoooo

HGQAHHQHHQQH

Or, Wow 1.0

Would Wow Classic still be the original formula? And would New Wow just taste like Pepsi?

Would the next signal be, Wow Pro?

Bravo

@@robertkopp873 I'm sure some people will go with Wow Pro, and some will stick with Classic Wow, but we can all agree that Wow Zero just tastes like utter crap

I'm shocked that we're not doing that.

Everyone who says ' it never repeated'. Should be saying' it isn't continuous '. Or we looked aa handful of other times and didn't see it.

That's not confirmed tho. It just kinda looks like it, which is still very interesting. Not trying to down play how cool the Wow signal is, I'd just be careful speaking in certainties about something that isn't sure.

@@Jesse-cw5pv It looks that you do not understand how tiny is 10km/s in universe scale, you can get 0,5km/s only from standing on Earth equator via Earth own rotation speed, not to mention how fast is Eart moving in relation to Sun...

I think everyone missed the point of the frequency correction. The signal did not modulate, and thus did not exhibit the doppler effect (an object passing or a large object rotating or an object accelerating). Researchers simply surmised that if the frequency was emitted at the hydrogen line, rather than 50±5kHz above it, then the corresponding blueshift (not doppler shift) would indicate a velocity of 10km/s toward earth. This corresponds to 22369 mph, a bit faster than the ISS and in the range of comet speeds. The signal does not exhibit comet radio behavior, despite recent claims. If the signal was in fact emitted on the hydrogen line, it could have easily been emitted in another solar system, a star ignition, etc. It should also be noted that just because it is illegal to transmit at these frequencies doesn't mean someone didn't or that it wasn't a electronic phenomena.

What is the doppler effect? What does it mean that they corrected it? I looked it up, read the comments but I don’t understand :( could someone explain it like I was a child?

@@britneyspheres7yearsago11 Doppler shift is a bit of a misnomer. The correct term is blueshift, as doppler implies a modulation of frequency. It was a hypothetical. It is unknown what wavelength the emmision source was. It was surmised that it _could_ have been emitted at the hydrogen line and blueshifted due to incoming velocity, so they adjusted the signal to mimic a hydrogen line origin, so that known patterns could be compared to it. But it didn't necessarily originate at the hydrogen line.

😂😂😂

@@mahadevparmekar2565 It was a joke.

What if 'wow' just means f off in their language

@@alienillusi0n what did the comment say, it's deleted

@@billblaski9523 I am also curious

Now that would be worth making a 17 mins clip about!

No you didn't

@@23impact47 yes I did.

Wow!

more

We already have the wtf particle

People seemed to be a little more civilized back then.

@@pavel9652 Quite the opposite. They were maybe more "civilized" on the outside, but more bad shit happened behind closed doors than it does today.

If it were to be the exact same power and location then it would almost certainly confirm the existence of alien life. Quite exciting but also scary. Lol

@Mike Rotch that's again scary as well

@@J.C.180 No, it wouldn't. All it would confirm is that some phenomenon produced a radio burst two (known) times. There are a lot of possible causes for that other than jumping to the conclusion of aliens.

@@wasd____ Such as?

@@scepan5155 could just be some sort of technological malfunction

For your first question: Why would they have the same "forbidden" frequency? For the second one: Thats a very valid point, if we do, we do it only once and very short. But we do send multiple differnent signals out that have a special kind of code (our language) which could be encrypted by possible aliens :)

@@zitro37 The reasoning goes that every civilization that wants to communicate should select a frequency that 1) is not attenuated much during transit and 2) is tied to some sort of objective reference point. Every advanced civilization that uses radio waves for communication probably also does radio astronomy and thus knows about the 1420 MHz frequency of hydrogen. I think JMG has made some good videos about it that go into more details.

@@zitro37 Yes but we've never sent signal twice into the same direction.

@@xcq1 ah now I get it, sorry I must have gotten that wrong. I'm not that into radio waves and frequencys. But that sounds like a fair point

Signals are probably constant, since Milky Way is spinning our solar system, as well as the solar system is traveling through space. It's impossible to repeat the signals if we just cross it's path

We may have been very lucky to catch just the one. Trying to hit planet earth with a directional radio wave across thousands of light years away, well, I think you'll hit the lottery 14 times first.

What do we do when we send out our own SETI signals? We confirm the stupidity of our species.

Try sending memes

@@mikecorleone6797 no way, if any ET's learn the truth about our relationship with cats nobody will ever respond.

We would build a solar orbiting probe that used the sun for energy and would transmit through it's orbit facing outwards. A series of these continually transmitting would provide a fairly easy to notice beacon transmitting for possibly hundreds of years like a lighthouse transmitting a simple message.

Good luck, it will be very expensive

@WTFPurpleAlpaca The issue isn't whether or not it would be "worth it". The issue is how you get the funding. Governments tend to throw a lot more money at scientific projects than the public and a crowd funding scheme to fund such an expensive project is doomed to failure. This would also face a lot of scientific backlash since I can almost guarantee that a lot of astronomers would view this as a colossal waste of telescope time. You'd have better luck building your own telescope except that would be even more expensive. In short the best way to succeed at this project would be to convince the scientific community that it's a worthwhile project and all I can say to that is good luck.

@faarsight The Allen Array was paid for by Paul Allen (Microsoft) and was built for the SETI Institute to look for aliens. Still.. running it costs money and SETI isn't that well funded even though Yuri Millner gave 100 million to another SETI project.

Yes, they are stuck at 42 antennas instead of the planned 350. The combined collecting area is about that of a 40 meter single dish so quite average. What they do have is a large field of view for scanning the sky.

Lots have pointed their equiptment in that direction and not found anything for 50 years

FYI that's not the only bandwidth they monitor. It's just the wave length they look at the most when they check the data

Not the only band, and it's a mathed out thing. Not random. Math, is an universal language. You can speak math with someone easier than any other thing.

time travel device

It's about math

@@aserta Dolphins are highly intelligent, yet we can't speak math with them, and they are from our own planet. If we ever did meet aliens we would probably never be able to communicate at all with them.

Rick Funk The strength, time recorded, & type, has been shown that not to be possible. It could be some kind of fluke for sure, which I lean toward, but the possibility still exists that it could have been created. I don’t think so, but maybe. I hope we figure it out in our lifetime though!

Well we just have to wait another couple thousands of years for when alien rick Harrison buys it and has his buddy test it to see if it works again

😂🤣😂 dude

These days would be the WTF signal. Haha

Wow! forms part of the checksum.

Agreed.

We should put more effort into searching for exoplanets. There is a far higher chance of finding a planet with a biomolecule signature in the atmosphere than some random radio signals.

@@pavel9652 I think it is true. Finding oxygen in a planet's atmosphere likely points to plant life, but not intelligent life. But you likely have one before the other. The Webb telescope will help.

​@@jimmynewone True, this is what I was thinking, but we could search for industrial gasses as well! Although, I imagine advanced civilizations might transfer the factories to space or have a large population living in the habitats or at least manage pollution to the degree it is hard to detect.

that civilization is lightyears away. we will probably never come into contact with each other so what is the point? although we responded in 2012

Many stars...countable noun

Ye

Thanks AtticSnacks, it is an interview we are very proud of and cannot wait to share.

@@EventHorizonShow If they have the technology to listen, what's to say they have the technology to come and destroy or enslave. Or they could be peaceful, enlightened and benevolent. How do we know if we don't reply and expose ourselves? It's in everyone's best interest if scientists make informed decisions about exposing us or not until the time is right.

@@pbjent Consider this; perhaps they had enough technology to blurt out a signal once.....or maybe they did transmit more than one but we missed it. It's possible that they (if they exist) are no more advanced than we are. Should we cower in our little corner of space to avoid potential contact or should we boldly go where no man has gone before and face whatever we find? I prefer the latter. If we are destroyed.......then we'll know! ;-)

@@BroughPerkinsMedium I like to think that if they have the technology to travel to other stars they would have the technology to extract materials from asteroids and have all the resources they need and therefore not have a need to conquer. We are not yet a space-faring civilization and yet we have the technology to terraform planets so an advanced civilization would also have this ability and would colonize planets closer to their own home system. I like to think a Galactic Federation of Planets exists and they will reveal themselves when we are ready.

@@falconquest2068 Take the Drake Equation by the time we get to fc in the equation they would be advanced enough to be enlightened and not warmongers. I may be optimistic because Gene Roddenberry gave a lot of people the same hope. R.I.P. Gene.

Wauw..!

Alright alright alright......oh wrong guy

That's a repeating signal tho.

Or said 'wow'

This is a primer explaining the Wow! Signal in detail, full interview comes out on Thursday at 3pm Central.

@@EventHorizonShow Mr.Godier, Thanks for the fascinating video & the accompanying interview with the Signals appellation giver!

I do the same, I think its actually the background noise he puts in that does it

I go for the longer episodes as well. Same reason

I think it’s the voice. Nothing better than drifting off listening to JMG.

Yeah, because it wasn't a serious contact attempt. They have done it in Arecibo after an upgrade, as a marketing stunt, which was a great idea by the way ;) Carl Sagan was one of the best science educators. The signal was directed at the globular cluster that isn't rich in metals. Chances are there are very few planets... Regarding WOW! signal, the issue is, the chance of this happening, that is someone contacting us, as a one-off, during few years of the radio telescope listening, and pointing at random points on the sky (reflector was stationary and rotated with Earth) is infinitesimal ;)

Alien franchise fan?

....and it reached us. They’re fkd.

Literally thought the same xD they had one hope an we failed them.. Lol

Thursday at 3pm Central!

@@EventHorizonShow Wouhoo! You're the best!

It was unmodualted and very narrowband, thats really a beacon. If it was a comms transmission it would have been modulated and we would not have seen it. Even a beacon requires a lot of power and I think its likely originated closer to us. Just my feeling.

OR IT WAS WITHIN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM AND WAS SOMETHING LEFT OVER FROM THE TYPE TWO CIVILIZATION THAT engineered our SOLA SYSTEM to stabilise the system with SOL ,JUPITER AND SATURN putting earth in an unsuitable orbit untill 12000 years ago and NOW the system is STABLE

@@scottorgan2255 way more credible answer.

Thanks Steve.

Or...they forgot it

I don't understand that obsession with extinction? ;) There are multiple comments like this one. Is there not enough drama in this story already? Perhaps they have put too much power in the radio transmitter and this was a Mayday signal sent shortly before everything exploded? ;)

@@pavel9652obsession? Lol every species have 99.9% chance of extinction. Lolo

​@@jinfin221 Thanks Manuj "lololol" Madan for the reply. Bold claim. How many intelligent, technologically capable species that went extinct you know? True that extinction on the species level is the rule. I countered a series of comments talking about civilizations going extinct after seeing signals. Also what does the extinction of the civilization level loos like? Roman Empire is no more, but it is the foundation of western Europe.

@@pavel9652 I'm talking about extinction of other species such as mass extinction before dinosaurs were there

Elvis Presley oh i see why

"WOW ! ! ! "

Thanks!

Probably not, although it depends on how you define success. I think it would be enough to found some small to medium size radiotelescope to monitor the spot 24/7. I don't think it would be sufficient to rent a larger instrument, though. Even then, chances are the public interest would fade away, as it often does for many projects, see the crew founding science. Usually, there are a few key members who do half of the work and a flock of people with an attention span of a day or two. Many people have pointed antennas in the direction of the Wow! signal and found nothing. I think it is defo worth checking the spot from time to time, but the signal was very short, so I would not hold my breath.

It explains why it is unexplained

CableTelcontar ...no. That's not how words work.

oh yeeesss

Dangerous

Good idea!

The far side of the moon? It spins, doesn’t it?

I sure did think of that Ancient Aliens meme when he came back around to aliens at 12 minutes...

Give it a break already.

Look at how we act against those of us that are different looking or speaking (and even those like us). And we (Human) (Mankind) want to find other life from other places not on Earth!? I guess we as (Mankind) ( Human) just cant get enough of being cruel to one another so much so, that we need to find new beings to be cruel too. No! I do not think there are other beings out there. I hope that they are not out there. If they are, I hope we never make contact,... Ever. Only those with the will to do harm, would not understand this. No!?,... Question,... Why do you (we) even have the least of thoughts against our fellow mankind, even unto those that done you (us) no harm? We have I'll thoughts of others over some,... No,... over a lot of ridiculous of reasons. Just take time to notice the feelings you have for those around you (not only those loved ones), and you will most likely notice that, if you're being honest with yourself. www.gotquestions.org/who-is-my-neighbor.html " Who is my neighbor, biblically speaking? Answer: Many Christians talk about the importance of loving God and loving others, and rightly so. Jesus declared these to be the greatest commandments (Mark 12:28-34; see Deuteronomy 6:4-5 and Leviticus 19:18). The idea that we are to love others is sometimes more specifically stated as the call to love one’s neighbor as oneself. “Who is my neighbor?” becomes a natural question to ask. The command to love one’s neighbor as oneself comes originally from Leviticus 19:18, which says, “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.” The Jews of Jesus’ day would largely have understood their “neighbor” to be their fellow Israelites. But God has a broader definition in mind. Loving one’s neighbor is more than simply loving those who are like us and who can love us in return. Luke 10 records an incident in which a scribe, an expert on the Jewish law, tested Jesus about what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus turned the question back to the scribe (Luke 10:25-37). The scribe responded with the command to love God with all of one’s being and to love one’s neighbor as himself. Jesus affirmed the response. But the scribe, wanting to justify himself, asked, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied with the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In the parable, a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho is attacked and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest walking by sees the man but passes on the other side of the road. The same happens when a Levite travels through. In essence, two Jews, both of whom were from the priestly line of Israelites and should have known and followed God’s law, failed to show love to their fellow Israelite in need. However, Jesus said, along came a Samaritan, a person generally disdained by the Jews because of cultural and religious differences. And it was the Samaritanwho stopped to help the injured man. He cared for the man’s wounds and paid for him to stay at an inn. In short, a person whom the Jews would have considered “unclean” and outside of God’s covenant demonstrated compassion for one who would have considered him an enemy. Jesus asked the scribe which of the three passersby was a neighbor to the injured man. “The expert in the law replied, ‘The one who had mercy on him.’ Jesus told him, ‘Go and do likewise’” (Luke 10:37). Our neighbor is thus anyone in our proximity with whom we can share God’s love. We are called not only to love those who are similar to us or with whom we are comfortable, but all whom God places in our path. In fact, Jesus said, “I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:44-48). God shows love to all people (John 3:16-18; Romans 1:19-20; 2 Peter 3:9). As His children (John 1:12), we are called to do the same. It is important to understand what true love is. We love people by genuinely seeking what is best for them. Loving others does not mean agreeing with everything they say or do, nor does it mean acting in ways that always gain their approval. Loving our neighbors means attending to their needs-both physical and spiritual. We love our neighbors when we, like the Samaritan in Jesus’ parable, have compassion for them and help meet their needs as we are able. We love our neighbors best when we share God’s truth with them. Jesus alone can save (John 14:6; Acts 4:12), and He alone can meet people’s every need. We love our neighbors, including our neighbors who seem like enemies to us, when we act toward them with a heart that first loves God. We love our neighbors out of an overflow of God’s love for us and as a way of demonstrating our love toward God (1 John 4:7-12; Colossians 4:5-6; 1 Peter 3:15-16). " Amen! GOD First!!! GOD Bless!!! Love All!!!

You’re in luck. We have a SETI playlist and there are tons of videos on JMG kzfaq.info/love/EszlI8-W79IsU8LSAiRbDg

True that! Sadly this had happened 50 years ago, and the technology was in its infancy. Even these days, however, we monitor tiny bits of the sky. On the flip side, we have capabilities to respond to FRBs and point more instruments in the direction to collect more data. The mainframe computer processing data from the observatory had a single floppy disk of available memory and the research predates the IBM PC, so they had to make compromises. The scientist had been reviewing the printed data in his own time, as a volunteer, probably once a week over the weekend, and got this one four days after the fact ;) Had they got decent funding, they could have collected more information about the signal.
