Thread 18124862

We sent out this into space, and if it somehow lands to an alien society less intelligent or advanced as ours, they could see this as a gift from the gods.

What I wanna know is, why is any theory about an artifact on Earth being similar in origin to the Voyager records (of alien origin and being an attempt of communication by some long lost alien civilization) immediately shut down as schizo conspiracy theories?

What artifact?

The ancient one.

The Voyager golden record is traveling at 17 km/s. Consider that for a second, dumbo. It would be destroyed on impact if it landed on another planet. And if that planet had an atmosphere similar to ours, the record would burn up before even touching the ground.

It will never end up in the hands of aliens. It's ultimate destination will be interstellar space as it ends up in a trajectory that puts it in orbit around the galactic core as it assumes the vector and momentum of the solar system that launched it in the first place. Because however, it's unlikely to collide with anything, and because gold doesn't corrode, and because there's no atmosphere to erode it generally speaking, it means that the Voyager Record will likely outlast every civilization on Earth, it'll likely last until the last stars die out in trillions of years, and will likely be the last piece of evidence that humans ever existed.

Space isn't real. If you think so, you deny God. Flames just got hotter.

God/Heaven/Hell exist beyond space o algo

And unless alien sensors are drastically more precise than our physicists can currently imagine, it wouldn't be found even by a spacefaring alien culture either.

It's not on a path to hit anything. It will just be in interstellar space indefinitely. It's more likely that a future species of technologically advanced humans will recover this and enjoy it on day.

I consider that 17 km.

it cannot land, and it would require a tech civilization much more advanced than ours to intercept it. we could not do it, for instance.
>any theory about an artifact on Earth
you need 'theories' like this because you do not have any such artifacts.

Sounds like total bullshit

If you die in space outside of an artificial atmosphere (ship, sealed suit) you'll be perfectly preserved forever looking just how you did the second you died.

I think the water would evaporate into space. And a bit of bacterial decay would happen before that happens (not enough to be visible though).

You forgot about entropy.
