The question becomes:
How to encode information with a particle system.
I think electronics work with a lineair kind of encoding system:
When a signal is stable for a longer period it is considered to be a clear
signal.
The signal could be like a 1 or positive load, or a -1 or a negative load.
What if aliens decide to use a different kind of encoding for example:
A burst mode of particles is a big one. A little burst mode of particles is
a small zero.
Many particles could arrive at the same time indicating a big one.
Or only few particles could arrive at the same time indicating a small zero.
Then it more or less repeats like electronics, but the signal is not so
clear.
It can be anyhing within a certain range, actually this is probably how
electronics work as well.
However there is a difference.
Electronics use time to differiantate the signals.
However aliens might use "strongeness" to differentiate signals.
So the seti project might be setup wrongly:
The seti project is looking for a clear signal.
Maybe the should be looking for a "strong" signal at zero time.
That's it! The Big Bang was a message! I think it was a one.
