- BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- During the Rocket Race held at the Governors School for Engineering and Robotics, a surprising signal was received from space. A precise location was not captured, but the message appears to have been sent from the region of space near the constellation Lyra
- The radio signal was received at 3 close frequencies. The middle frequency was 8,924,672,549.7339 Hz, with frequencies of 8,924,672,556.017085 Hz and 8,924,672,543.450714 Hz as well. The signal consists of bursts at one of the 3 frequencies lasting 0.0118116 Seconds, with a gap of 0. 0.0742146 seconds between bursts.
- Radio Astronomers have assigned a value of “l” to the low pulses, “m” to the middle pulses, and “h” to the high pulses. The message contains 6095 pulses. There are 2369 Low Pulses, 3302 Medium Pulses, and 424 High Pulses. There is a 48.38017 second pause, and the pattern repeats.
- Using some good old fashion math and physics can you answer any of the following questions:
- 1. How many fingers/toes do you think the Aliens might have?
- 2. What might they broadcast to describe the mainstream media's opinion of the 45th President?
- (Or if you prefer, the 45th President's description of the main stream media)
- 3. How Tall are they?
- 4. Can you describe them physically?
- 5. Where might they live?
- 6. How long ago did the message start its journey?
- 7. If the aliens came here and joined your Math class would your culturally sensitive teacher schedule a celebration in Mid-March or Late June?
- 8. What symbols did you find a meaning for?
- 9. Are there any signs this message might be faked?
