The signal pulsed on and off very quickly with incredibly uniform amplitudes my initial reaction was that this was some sort of binary transmission. Transcendental harmonics – things like hydrogen’s frequency times pi – don’t appear in nature, so I knew it had to be artificial. The transmission came on every transcendental multiple of hydrogen’s frequency that were listening to. 36 million civilizations, yet in almost a century of listening, we hadn’t heard a thing. We had been shouting our existence at the top of our lungs to the rest of the universe, wondering if we were alone. For the last 78 years, we had been broadcasting everything about us – our radio, our television, our history, our greatest discoveries – to the rest of the galaxy. That is the expected number of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy, according to Drake’s famous equation.
