ALIEN INVASION: Plan to beam Earth's location into outer space could spark inadvertent contact with unknown civilisations, scientists warn

A Nasa plan to beam Earth’s location into outer space could inadvertently trigger an alien invasion, Oxford scientists have warned.

The binary-coded ‘Beacon In The Galaxy’ message will broadcast information about the solar system, Earth’s surface and humanity to a part of the Milky Way identified as the most likely home of extraterrestrial civilisations.

However Anders Sandberg, a senior research fellow at Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute (FHI), warned sharing such information presents a risk.

He told The Daily Telegraph that, although the chance of the message reaching an alien civilisation was low, ‘it has such a high impact that you actually need to take it rather seriously’.


He said the ‘giggle factor’ surrounding the search for extraterrestrial intelligence meant that ‘many people just refuse to take anything related to it seriously, which is a shame because this is important stuff’.

Dr Sandberg also said given the difficulty of traversing interstellar space, a message received even by a very advanced civilisation might amount to little more than ‘a postcard saying, “Wish you were here”’.

Toby Ord, Dr Sandberg’s colleague at the FHI, made similar arguments in The Precipice, a book published in 2020 in which he analysed the existential risks and future of humanity.

Dr Ord said the main question is over the ratio of peaceful civilisations compared to hostile ones.

He added: ‘We have very little evidence about whether this is high or low, and there is no scientific consensus. Given the downside could be much bigger than the upside, this doesn’t sound to me like a good situation in which to take active steps toward contact.’

The planned message, which will end with an invitation for aliens to respond, includes basic mathematical and physical concepts to establish a universal means of communication, followed by information on the biochemical composition of life on Earth.

It will also broadcast the solar system’s location in relation to major clusters of stars, as well as digitised depictions of the solar system, the Earth’s surface and male and female humans.

Wow, I would love to see how that would turn out to be. We may have similar or higher intelligence some distance away.

Nope it is a very big discussion among space scientist, some believed any civilization advance enough to leave their system will be resource hungry and will consume what ever find, while others believe source civilization will only do that out of curiosity or research
