– If we ever recieved an alien signal/message, how would we even begin trying to translate and understand it?

582 viewsOther

I’m speaking very hypothetically here, but if we happened to recieve a voyager disc style message from another planet, which contained numbers and writing in their language, how does the process of translation begin?

It still blows my mind that at some point, two people from the same planet that spoke very different languages (chinese and engish for example), started the process of learning each others languages and worked out what each other were saying. So how would this work for a completely new, unknown language with completely new characters, digits and language features?

I reckon an advanced species would know exactly how to communicate with us and is already doing so.
