Create nuclear blasts that encode the information in short microbursts. Info will be available in the carbon record and in tree rings around the world .... profit?
- 7thaccount 5y agoAt that rate, just make sure it's part of the human genome :)
- noizejoy 5y agoOr maybe a bit more likely to survive longer: cockroach genome or tardigrade genome :-)
- jodrellblank 5y agoShort story where SETI programmers turn new message hunting code on archived files and it detects a message in the human genome rather than in radio signals from the cosmos: https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/sftriple/gpic.html https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/sftriple/gpic.html ( https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/252832/short-story-alien-message-encoded-in-dna https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/252832/short-story... )
- xelxebar 5y agoBy the author of autoCAD no less! Thanks for sharing this. You have enriched my day.
- takinola 5y agoI really wish someone would make a good sci-fi movie around stories like this. No space lasers or wormholes, just high concept stories
- sam0x17 5y agoNever, even in video games they always have to throw a fantasy element in :/
- 7thaccount 5y agoYou might like the "man from earth". It isn't exactly what you've described here, but it's a great movie. The entire thing takes place as a conversation amongst a group of friends where they extrapolate out on somebody's seemingly crazy assertion.
- jodrellblank 5y agoThis feels like it might fit a series like The X-Files or The Outer Limits more than a full movie; there isn't much more to it than the twist; aside from that it's a story about some people. If you don't mind them being shorts, there are some good sci-fi stories on the Dust and Omeleto channels on YouTube. e.g. this "One Minute Time Machine" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBkBS4O3yvY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBkBS4O3yvY - has just two people, a bench, and a Time MacGuffin. Or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOwKExagzdQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOwKExagzdQ - "The Tunnel Ahead", 15 minute short set in an overpopulated world. I do feel that many include space because it's fun and can be CGI modelled, or time travel because it makes for a cheap sci-fi plot, and if you rule those out you get things like The OceanMaker ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWCGK4nneeU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWCGK4nneeU ) which I didn't like so much because nothing really happens. Whether there are more concepty ones with more nuanced plot, they probably didn't catch my eye to watch.

- barkingcat 5y agowhat if humans go extinct in the next 300 years?
- pronlover723 5y agolike in ST:TNG where it turns out there's a piece of code in the DNA of all the humanoid species that together form a message from the civilization that seeded them
- 7thaccount 5y agoGreat episode. A two-parter I think.
