What Could We Learn from Another Civilization? 001440431 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001440431 520__ $$aScientists have been searching for signals from extraterrestrial civilizations since Frank Drake's first radio survey in 1960. But what would actually happen if SETI's search succeeds? Is there any way we could even make sense of the signal we receive? Written by an expert in communication systems and translation technology, this book explores the science of interstellar communication. It explains how this process may unfold, how an ET communication link would work, the types of information it could convey and how professionals, amateurs and ordinary people like you would participate in the effort to understand what another civilization has to say. Along the way, the book introduces readers to many aspects of modern-day communication systems and computing. Featured as well are dozens of illustrations, photos and real-world examples, rounding out this compelling foray into the mechanics of interstellar communication. 001440431 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 27, 2021). 001440431 650_0 $$aInterstellar communication. 001440431 650_0 $$aHuman-alien encounters. 001440431 650_6 $$aCommunications interstellaires. 001440431 650_6 $$aRencontres avec les extraterrestres. 001440431 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001440431 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030748448$$z9783030748449$$w(OCoLC)1243351458 001440431 830_0 $$aAstronomers' universe,$$x2197-6651 001440431 852__ $$bebk 001440431 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-74845-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001440431 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1440431$$pGLOBAL_SET 001440431 980__ $$aBIB 001440431 980__ $$aEBOOK 001440431 982__ $$aEbook 001440431 983__ $$aOnline 001440431 994__ $$a92$$bISE
