“This place is a message and part of a system of messages. Pay attention to it. Sending this message was important to us. We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture.”

In this episode Desmond Clarke and I discuss the challenges of creating messages that are universally translatable by future human and non-human cultures.

We explore the challenges of communicating with unknown future societies about dangers such as nuclear waste, alongside discussing the messages intended for a non-human intelligence that we have sent out into the depths of space.
