The sooner we launch the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, the sooner brothers in mind will find us
Start here:
Yesterday we talked about the amazing assumption of the famous astrophysicist, specialist in cosmic radiation, high energy physics and neutrinos, Professor John Learned from the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. In his opinion, Cepheids are strange pulsating stars, which are abundant in neighboring galaxies (about 500 have been discovered), capable of blinking in accordance with the information "uploaded" to them by representatives of highly developed civilizations. And they - the Cepheids - actually "work" as nodes of the intergalactic Internet. The scientist even figured out how to connect to this Network by himself - to enter his messages by piercing the star with coded neutrino beams. And thus it is meaningful to blink it at brothers in reason.
Strange behavior of the North Star
To begin with, Lerned suggested taking a closer look at the data already available on the Cepheids. Like, is there anything strange about them. Suddenly, one of these node stars changed the order of their twinkling. Which may indicate outside interference and carry an alien message.
“The consequences will be amazing,” Lernad assured.

And how he looked into the water. More recently, it became known that the closest Cepheid to us - the Polar Star (Polaris), to which 431 light years, suddenly began to blink differently than before. A dramatic change in the nature of its pulsation was discovered by an international group of astronomers led by Hans Bruntt of the University of Sydney. Has the intergalactic Internet made itself felt?
Encryption from the Universe?
In 1900, during one pulsation, the Pole Star changed brightness by about 10 percent. In 1998 - by 2. Then the amplitude of fluctuations began to grow. And now the star changes brightness by 4 percent. Impulses occur at different intervals in 2, 3, 6, 40 days. But what this means is not clear. And do the signals have any meaning? Even Lerned himself cannot say. Here it is necessary to more carefully analyze the strength, frequency and duration of impulses - parameters capable of carrying encoded information. So far, scientists have only recorded the phenomenon. Therefore, it is too early to draw final conclusions about its nature. Who knows, suddenly the aliens really put their hand, or rather, neutrino fluxes to the Polar Star. "Downloaded" it.
The data obtained by Hans Bruntt are published in the Astrophysical Journal (Astrophysical Journal - https://arxiv.org/abs/0804.3593.). Those interested can find and deal with decryption.
- I think, Professor Lerned, - commented on the hypothesis of his colleague Sergei Yazev, director of the Astronomical Observatory of Irkutsk State University, - gives free rein to fantasy, claiming that through neutrinos it is possible to intervene in the thermonuclear combustion of a star. This is far from a fact.
About aliens, - continues Sergey Arturovich. - Today it is fashionable to look for traces of their interference wherever it is not yet possible to find a normal scientific explanation. By the way, the previous 14 centuries, everything incomprehensible was attributed to the will of the Lord God. Like, he was so pleased.
The scientist said that 20 years ago, very serious Russian researchers (he personally knows them) were looking for traces of extraterrestrial intelligence in the nature and frequency of the appearance of spots on the Sun. But they did not find it.
“I believe that natural phenomena are the basis for the change in the brightness of pulsating stars,” says Yazev. - But at the same time … I would not give my head to cut off, arguing that the aliens have nothing to do with it. There is a negligible probability of their interference.
Brothers in mind will be found in Antarctica
An international team of scientists is now building a device in Antarctica comparable in scale to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), whose operational launches are expected next spring underground on the border of France and Switzerland.
The device at the South Pole is the IceCube. The name is by no means figurative - a network of detectors is placed in a cube that goes under the ice for more than two kilometers. They will watch the neutrinos arriving from space - practically elusive particles, devoid of charge, having almost no mass, which at the speed of light pierce the Earth through and through, as if it were not there.
Neutrinos are satellites of mysterious objects and processes in the Universe - black holes, supernova explosions, dark matter. And possibly the activities of aliens. And they - the aliens - can produce neutrinos not only for the intergalactic Internet. But also simply as a result of their physical experiments. Find out about them and let the Ice Cube.
Large Hadron Collider and aliens
Here on Earth, local physicists built the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to gain insight into the secrets of matter. Protons are going to start smashing into smithereens - positively charged particles flying at the speed of light. But it is even more interesting to break muons - particles that have a negative charge, like electrons, only much heavier. And see what happens.
Scientists estimate that the collision energy of muons will be so great that they will generate a powerful stream of neutrinos. Who will sew the universe.
According to Zurab Silagadze, a senior researcher at the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk, the characteristics of man-made neutrinos will differ from natural ones. And brothers in mind, who are in another galaxy, noticing them, will understand that it was not without intelligence. Moreover, they will be able to detect where the stream was sent from. At least our Ice Cube will allow you to do both. That is, it is quite suitable for receiving and recognizing random messages from extraterrestrial civilizations. And the fact that they may appear, Zurab Karloevich does not exclude.
“If we have ideas to collide muons, then aliens, if they exist, are also thinking about it,” the scientist said in an interview with the authoritative magazine NewScientist.
In other words, if the brothers in mind build their LHC, then we will find out about it. And they will find out about ours. There were few previous fears about the collider experiments. Like, there will be a Big Bang, it will be sucked into a black hole … Here is an appendage: "we will light up" unambiguously. Or do we want it?
BTW
The ice cube will be bugged
Silagadze was not the first to suggest that neutrino fluxes may be associated with some intelligent activity in the Universe. Almost 30 years ago, his American colleagues put forward a hypothesis: aliens are using them to exchange secret messages. Secret - from us earthlings. Because we are unable to intercept them. Two more years - and earthlings will be capable. Let's launch the Ice Cube and start intercepting. Not just "random" neutrinos.
“Neutrinos will open a new window to the Universe for us,” says project manager Francis Halzen from the University of Wisconsin (USA).
