Default #92 a more reasonable list for Tom Potter's ET and SETI challenge;



Tom Potter wrote:

Intelligent beings would develop transmitters and receivers,
and come to understand modulation and digital communications,
and they would eventually utilize digital communications extensively.


As codes with good correlation properties
are essential to effective and efficient
digital communications, no doubt their
transmissions would use
Barker and Gold code sequences,
as there are only a few codes that have
good correlation properties.


The best way to detect intelligent civilizations
is to cross-correlate on these code sequences.


Advance civilizations would also use the
most effective compression systems,
and their signals could be demodulated
by decoding with the best systems.


If you want to detect intelligent life,
and find out what they are interested in,
you should:


1. Scan the skies using high gain, tracking, antennas
and low noise receivers and record the signals.


2. Run cross-correlations on all of the data
using the set of Barker and Gold code sequences.


3. When signals are found,
use advanced MP3 and MP4 type decoders
to extract the unencoded data.


I know that SETA has a program that uses
home computers to analyze the data,
but I don't know if they are looking for
Barker and Gold code sequences.


If they are not,
they are wasting time and resources.

Look, we estimate that the Milky Way Galaxy has 100,000 pulsars.

We have observed and measured and recorded 2,000 of those pulsars.

We know that both Earth and Jupiter transmit radio signals, one of
them
is Intelligent life Radio Emissions whereas Jupiter is a pulsar of 15
and 40 MHz.

So the question then becomes of where does a "reasonable and Reasoned
person" draw the line.

Does a Reasonable person say that we have to check and observe every
pulsar
in the Milky Way Galaxy to see if there is a attending Earthlike radio
emission
in order to say "Earth is the only Intelligent Life Planet in the
Milky Way".

Or does a Reasonable person say that we have thoroughly checked 2% of
the
Milky Way of 2,000 pulsars and we find only Earth with Jupiter as
having Intelligent
Life and thus we form the **reasonable conclusion** that only Earth
has intelligent
life in all of the Milky Way.

So Tom needs to ask at what point would his reason conclude that the
Big Bang
and Intelligent life does not fit with observations.

According to Atom Totality, each galaxy has only one planet that can
support
intelligent life. This is because it takes so much energy from the
Cosmos in whole
to support and maintain life on a planet. The old way of thinking is
that a star like
the Sun is all the support that life needs. Trouble is that the star
like the Sun cannot
give "first life" since it does not have the concentration of energy
to give "first life".
And then once life is formed on a planet, a star like the Sun does not
have enough
energy to wield a "system of life where one organism depends on other
organisms".

That is why these math numbers that Earth has 10^30 cells of DNA/RNA
and that
the Force of Gravity is 10^40 weaker than Coulomb Force. So that the
Solar System
can be run and operated on purely the Force of Gravity allowing and
leaving the Cosmos
to run and operate LIFE on the Coulomb Force.

I made the analogy of the Brain Stem to the entire rest of the Brain
versus Gravity to
Coulomb. This is an exceptionally good analogy, but there are other
analogies which
may strike an accord to other people better than this analogy.

The Brain Stem runs the human body on auto pilot where it does the
breathing the heart beating
and other functions vital to life. This frees up the time for the rest
of the brain such as cortex
to do other things such as daydream, solve puzzles, do exploring and
research and wild
thinking. Analogously, Gravity can maintain the Solar System or the
Milky Way Galaxy
freeing up the time for the Coulomb Force to run and operate a solo
planet of Earth with its
teeming life.

So the question for Tom Potter, is where does he come down as being
"reasonable"? Does
he need to check out every pulsar in the Milky Way of its alleged
100,000 pulsars to see whether
there is a Earth-Jupiter combo in that 100,000 or is it reasonable for
him to say we checked
out 2,000 pulsars and found no Earthlike transmitter and so we can
safely conclude Earth is
the only Life Planet in the Milky Way.
