These claims, which have been seeping through the news media over the past 24 hours, are based on a misinterpretation of a story we published about this map in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Voyager launches.
Alien: Awakening Writer Reveals Plot Details for Ridley Scott Sequel | IndieWire
That story describes how 14 known pulsars can be used as galactic signposts to help aliens find Earth, should the spacecraft bearing them across the cosmos be intercepted in the near future. As part of reporting that story, I interviewed my dad, Frank Drake, who created the map in During our conversation, we talked about how the pulsar map might fit into the current debate about deliberately sending messages to extraterrestrial civilizations.
It will likely never even be seen by extraterrestrials.
Even then, it will be perhaps millions of years from now. Kathryn Denning, the York University anthropologist we interviewed for the original story, agrees that the map on its own is not a significant risk when it comes to humans announcing our presence. These messages travel at the speed of light, wash over whatever is in their path, and are easily detected from afar.
Or the jump from semi-intelligent animals apes to intelligent hominids. If you don't buy into the idea that we're so rare and special that we're the only ones to make it past the great filter, there's another pretty optimistic view point to which you can subscribe.

Maybe it's pretty easy to make it past the great filter, but the conditions in the universe have only just become ripe to support intelligent life that makes it to the other side. That would make us the first form of life that has a chance to survive beyond the great filter.
We're simply in the right place at the right time to have a shot. Being in the right place at the right time would take a lot of luck. So if you don't think we're past the great filter, and you don't think we're the first life forms with a shot at making it past the great filter, there's only one remaining conclusion: Humans are toast. A cataclysmic natural disaster, such as a huge asteroid impact or gamma ray burst, could obliterate the planet. Or we could invent some kind of super-advanced tech that will destroy us all. That's why some scientists and philosophers are praying that we don't discover even simple microbial life somewhere like Mars or Europa.
If we find life elsewhere, that will mean that it's much more likely that the great filter is still ahead of us and we're headed for disaster. Instead, we can consider the possibility that extraterrestrial life is abundant — but for a number of reasons, we haven't been able to get in touch with any of it. Humans have only existed for about , years out of the Earth's 4. Aliens might have visited the Earth when is was still a molten ball of lava or a stew of primordial soup.
When Europeans landed in the Americas, it took a long time before they reached some distant Native Americans living far out on the West Coast.

It might be possible that alien civilizations just haven't traveled far enough to stumble upon us yet. Sort of like the remote ice planet Hoth in "Star Wars," or the wild west of space travel, as is portrayed in the TV show "Firefly. Intelligent alien life may have discovered a way to upload their minds into a completely self-sustaining virtual reality world where they don't need access to outside resources or energy.
They're perfectly content in the world they created, and not only completely unconcerned about getting in touch with us but reticent to do so. It's possible we haven't heard from anyone else because they know better to broadcast any signals, or at least encrypt them as Snowden suggests — lest one of these killer civilizations pick it up.
That's why some experts are vehemently opposed to a Messaging to Extraterrestrial Intelligence METI mission: the controversial next step to SETI, where instead of just passively listening, we actively send messages out into the cosmos. You can take this creepy idea even farther. Maybe the first civilization that managed to achieve super intelligence is the ruler of the universe and it's out there destroying anyone else that gets close to its level.

So unfortunately, once again, we might be on a dangerous path — this time by blasting any and all communications into space. Maybe we can't access the right frequencies. Maybe we don't have the right technologies yet. Maybe other life forms only communicate via telepathy. Or perhaps super-advanced aliens might exist, and they don't want to blow our minds by visiting us with their incomprehensible technology and intelligence.
They're simply waiting until we catch up, treating us as an exhibit at a zoo — look but don't touch If you've seen Interstellar, think about the aliens that exist in a fifth dimension and built a wormhole. In this scenario we're completely irrelevant to them. We could be living in the Matrix, and we were put here by another super-intelligent race as an experiment.
Reasons to Believe
Or maybe we're all just one big computer simulation. The bottom line is we don't know. The most intelligent people in the world have wildly different opinions about the answer to the Fermi paradox. Humanity could be completely alone — the king of the cosmos, as our Earth-bubble has already led us to believe. It's humbling, but also oddly comforting to consider that there could be far more to existence than we think there is. Follow Tech Insider on Facebook and Twitter.
