Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Oh, yeah.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Yeah, Task Force, I have a phone in my background.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

That's what that phone is tuned into.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

It's not plugged into the wall for coax lines or anything.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

It is tuned specifically to the hydrogen line.

Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

So any aliens that catch this wavelength in a couple millennia from now, give me a call.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

You imagine if if somebody converted this Internet based podcast into radio frequencies, a la the Brady Bunch, and it just happened to emanate out from the planet and just on a drive by some sort of alien picks this up, you know, and starts to pine for calling in.

Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

They want to hit up my hotline, but we're long gone.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

I don't know off the top of my head.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

There is an impressive stat here to be said, and I won't attempt to quote it here, but, but yeah, based on broadcast television, it's a weaker signal.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

It's not like we're pummeling it into space intentionally, but it does emanate out from earth.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

And so there are echoes of our past that,

Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

rapidly going out into space in all directions and so it's it will probably be weak by the time it gets anywhere but yeah it's not impossible for some far down the line so far future civilization to inadvertently pick up you know the brady bunch or happy days and just be like sunday monday copyright and it's like what is this

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Oh, yeah.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Like if we picked up an alien broadcast, I don't know if we would know how to interpret it or if it would come through as a signal like this that we're just like that.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

It just sounds like noise, right?

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Yeah.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

OK, coming back to the signal.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

Remember, it came in.

Red Web
Wow! Signal | We Caught a 72-Second Signal From Space, Then It Disappeared

So you saw a bunch of ones, twos, some odds and end numbers.
