Christmas Tiffany And Co

Message

A powerful thunder sounded in the distance, the telescope operator huddled in his chair, sipping a cup of coffee while musing about the torrential downpour that is discharged outside. Suddenly he thought of his wife and his daughter, who was about to enter college. He a quick account on the head with which concluded that he must find alternative work, or one that paid more, because among the whims of your spouse and your child's college consent, money she could afford to buy only the amount of coffee needed to survive the endless shifts, surrounded by many devices, yielding at the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. After all, he thought, had been lucky to stay in that position after the funds were cut, allocating only Arecibo for SETI work, and that matters "truly scientific" were used most advanced telescopes. The

much thought she was hungry, so he got up to take a cookie ever saw in the kitchen cupboard. He took his time; the ways of her mind did reminded of that baseball career he always wanted, which was cut by the stupid pit accident that had suffered from binge to celebrate the acceptance Mayagüez team after having passed the tests.

found nothing, not a crumb of the alleged cookie. Apparently, his search had proved as fruitless as the SETI had been doing for years. Air laughed when he realized the comparison. What else could I do? Resigned, returned to his seat to take a nap, but he again bristled skin: there was a flashing red light on the dashboard. Incredulous, blanched Print to note also that the screen could read the message "Signal Detected Candidate," while jumping spectrum lines from the top of it.

Standard procedure dictated that he should call his superior, because, after all, any kind of contact with an alien race was considered a national security issue, but the operator of the radio telescope was elated, and not content with call to his superior, but also to his wife, who knew a reporter for a local newscast, and the "secret" went down the drain. The news spread everywhere, even before hecho.Los corroborate the most advanced radio telescopes were redirected to explore this signal, and confirmed that it was not natural, in the end, SETI had yielded a positive response after decades of research.

The next step was to determine the source of transmission, for sure it was not known in our galaxy, which meant that the signal was more than one thousand years, and more importantly, wanted to know the content of such transmissions. Rewards were offered, it invested millions of euros to continue research into new transmissions, but eventually, the exciting news was neglected in those days something that was unsuccessful was quickly forgotten, and the daily problems more interested in an old signal sent from an unknown location in the universe.

Years later, consuming the lives of mathematicians, physicists and engineers, the signal was finally broken, it was an audio signal, which scientists could only be equated to a "phone call" concept a long extinct in the Modern Earth. Even the source of transmission was uncertain, and even more content, and that upon hearing the message, obviously it was expressed in an unknown tongue. This led to linguistic rather than mathematical physicists or engineers. This time people are not even interested in the news, everyone so involved in their world that the members of his family appeared to be the aliens.

became scarce funds for the program to search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and given the absence of progress for linguists, the signal gradually became uninteresting even to the scientific field, few were those who followed, more for personal interest, with the decryption of the signal.

Almost forgotten, a century after receiving the first sign of extraterrestrial intelligence, someone mentioned briefly that the origin of the neighborhoods were named a star in the galaxy NGC 1566, 50 million light years from Earth, and the content of the message? That was always a mystery ...

"Help! [Static] Our star will explode in 5 years [static] please can anyone hear us? [Static] [static] At least we are not alone indíquennos [static] [End of message] "
