- In 1977, twin golden records were sent into space on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. Still sailing through space at nearly 60,000 km per hour, the records contain sound, songs, and images from earth. But how did NASA include images on an analog record? Here, we decoded the audio, and see the images the way that aliens were intended to see them.

What images or sounds would you send to aliens?
Certainly not a Justin's Bieber song.
An image of our solar system
or images of volcanoes or other things that may occur on our planet and the aliens planet
Certainly a queens songs
Happy Birthday Cory! 😃

Alien 2: Did you think they were going to speak English like us?
Alien speak using english wtf
Aliens speaking in English? That means Britain must have colonized the entire galaxy at some point.
*LAUGHS IN BRITISH*
@@Anonymous-tm7jp my brain just got colonized after reading this
@WoodChipings that was the joke
@@Anonymous-tm7jp what if Britishers are actually aliens send to the earth to colonize it?
The way I’ve always seen the Golden Record isn’t “a message to the stars” but more a “If we are here no longer, we were still here”
Damn, that message is kind of better
that's deep
That actually makes more sense, because by the time it reaches another star system (IF that happens), humanity might be long gone.
yeah like the graphity people spray "i was here" but instead "humans where here"
We wuz here

I get the distinct feeling that he intended the record to be like a time capsule. We're intended to discover it again after we get very advanced at space travel and be reminded of how we once were.
" OH LOOK! an alien device! with a disk! oh wait its ours nevermind~"
Yes, cause I have always wondered with the amount of complexity in the cover, audio, and images. There’s no way aliens would understand, for example the morse code and binary, these systems are created by us for us, so aliens would definitely not understand what the lines are on the cover. Another thing is even if they do understand, the units such as minutes and hours, are both based on the Earth, something aliens don’t have so how would they understand.
@@thomaslok5808 Aliens being able to understand binary is just pure hope. But seconds, minutes, days or even years are taught by hydrogens movement which is the most common element in space.
@@teomandemir8918 That is true, but my point is that the idea of seconds, hours, days and years are all arbitrary. An alien year could be a thousand times longer than one Earth year, and one alien day could be 10 times longer than Earth day. So there is no way they would know what we are talking about.
This reminds me about the movie " Planet of the apes" one day the golden record might land back on the earth itself.
Alien finding the Golden Disc : "Awesome, free gold!"

@@pwe...2626 they might not, a scivilian that has the ability to detect and intercept the probe would be sufficiently advanced, advanced enough to astroid mine, making gold rather cheap. They could be plating their spaceships with gold since it’s a cheap heat shield to them

Would be hilarious if the reply is just "👍"
In a Saturday Night Live segment ("Next Week in Review") in episode 64 of the show's third season (originally aired 1978), Steve Martin's character, a psychic named Cocuwa, announced that extraterrestrials had responded to the record with the four words "Send more Chuck Berry"

@TXSTDMMY god is real depends on what u think if u think god does not exist, god does not exist, if u think god exists, god exists. there are infinite realities so there will be realities that god exists and that god doesnt exist but we dont know if our reality is that if god exists or not but i think god exists because of course who made us who made the universe
@@pryt0n180 We can only believe on one thing we are not special noone made us we made our selfs so if there is live beyond that there is no god and if theres no life beyond then there is a god but after keep thinking that basic life can happen by water then i believe we dont have a god and there are more life beyond
@@johnthefool8462 once again. That is what you believe. But you can never be sure. None of us can. It just depends on if you believe or not.
Imagine in the future if the aliens that found the record managed to decode it, and when they arrive to our system, the sun would already be a red giant and the earth was eaten by it, that will be depressing.
We should launch other probes that have a golden record, but rather than sending them out into interstellar space, we should put one in orbit around each planet of our solar system. That way, if aliens find our solar system long after the sun has destroyed Earth, they may find a probe near one of the surviving planets and they can be sure they found the right star.
i tapped read more and was jumpscared by that “and the earth was eaten by it” part 😭😭
@@twotruckslyricspussy
@@magneticman245Jupiter might be the best. Since The Sun is going to be a white dwarf Neptune and Uranus might be too risky since they may leave the solar system.

A billion years from now, when everything that we have ever built on Earth has crumbled into dust, when the continents are changed beyond recognition, and our species is unimaginably altered, or extinct, the Voyager Record will still speak for us.

True that we have no idea how many times Earth has reset itself.
@@mrwhatever9025 Yes we do. Five major times and several minor times. A 6th major time is happening right now.
Or was hit by a rock within a hundred years.
I wonder if aliens would even have the concept of music as we know it, or if they would think our Golden Record is just a collection of strange noises.
if their smart enough to decode the record then their probably smart enough to deduce that the main band of frequency are the hearing range of the species that made it. and just like we do with whale calls they could distort it into a range that fits their hearing better.
@@SpottedHares If they have hearing.
if there is a record player
@@coconut7630 On the cover there is a scheme of the record player, suggesting the spiral track and the pick-up. If I were an alien I would examine the plate with microscope, and the groove will be seen. Maybe aliens will examine that with laser or electron microscope, then they're expected to process the réseau manually. (Or aristally :-) ) If the aliens are 400 yards long and live under the mud then the connection of these two civilizations will be failed.
Imagine if an alien race sent us a “golden record”, but we were only evolved into cavemen
It could've happened already and maybe our cavemen ancestors destroyed it xD
The voyager won’t find intelligent life, intelligent life will have to find it themselves. It won’t just crash to be found by a fish.

Then 300 years later, it comes back massively upgraded into a giant spaceship who thinks that its creators are fellow robots and that we Humans are an infestation keeping its creators from contacting it so it seeks to wipe us out.
Also, it regards organic lifeforms as not true lifeforms even though we talk to its probe, react to whatever it does and do all sorts of things that proves that we're lifeforms. Why? Because it likely absorbed organic hating robots at some point......

@@Pikasatupu75 we will probably be on earth and other planets aswell , in other solar systems hopefully and beyond
It's quite ironic that this message meant for other alien species can't even be read by 99% of the species that made it.
99.999999999999999
Maybe we wanted to do our best to look as intelligent as possible.
It definitely highlights how ignorant of the basic laws of our universe most people are. But the message was not meant for any individual to be deciphered, it was meant to have the most chances of any alien _civilization_ to be able to decipher.
You can't just send a map to a remote planet and expect any idiot alien to figure it out. The golden record is meant for aliens with a workable knowledge of physics and math, the only potential universal language we know of.
@@dsp4392 Don't forget the language of love
@@stevethea5250
Not as prominent as lust with regards to biological organisms. After all, the goal is to reproduce, nothing else. So that's a much more common language between biological organisms.
fun fact: when our star burns out, the golden record may still exist and will be the last relic of humanity
This makes me rethink all the crazy symbolism in ancient Egypt and other civilizations around the world.
Alien: "What do you think this is?"
Other Alien: "I don't know, let me open Excel real quick."

Brandon James what? I’ve never heard of that?? Edit: don’t believe in it but still curious
2 billion years later on a distant planet:
"Broken Ancient Space disk may have been a message from another planet."
The fuzzy, blurred, black and white images at the end, set to the melancholy blues music was haunting in a beautiful, artful, timeless way. I imagined another race of beings viewing this a million years from now and it gave me chills.

The whole point for the the Voyagers is to be captured while on space, just like if we had any Alien technology we would try our best to capture it and make sure it doesn’t get destroyed. Well that’s what at-least we are hoping for
Even the crash site of the voyagers would be enough to tell an advanced civilization that there's life on other planets, what are the chances our satellites look exactly like theirs? If the civilization is advanced enough to send resources out to space, theres a chance that they would send a similar disk, or capsule of their information back into space

We already crash our own economies. What's the economy of an alien civilization or two?
I've read a comic with aliens that live in a sort of water planet, and their most rare item is "Pulasti" or plastic lol

Honestly, if they find out what it is, I doubt it would be sold. If their civilisation is similar to ours, it will be researched throuroughly, maybe even crowdsourced.
And if it were to be sold, I don't think the value would come from the materials.

I think the important thing about the records isn't if they can be decoded. Let's be real, our species will be long gone when, or if, they are found. The important thing is that it demonstrates that at one point life on another world not only existed, but was smart enough to send any kind of message at all into space.
Imagine how we would react to finding an object that was both clearly unnatural and clearly not human made. Even if we had no idea what it was. It would forever change how our species sees itself.
is it just me that’s annoyed by the fact that I will never live to see the day where we find alien life. Im just so curious
Go find them Gerald you’ll never know if you don’t try.
They are all around us . They outnumber us . They are spirit beings doesn't mean they don't exist , they have been watching us all since we started out they were there and they are still there and here and everywhere around us . They are angels , and other creatures of light of Sound and we have seen many times thier actions and they do interact with us on many levels even you even though you don't know it they have .
Maybe it will be disclosed that we already have...I hope.
