Imagine a future where we could directly communicate with parallel worlds – what possibilities would that open for humanity?
Forget clunky hardware and sci-fi gadgets. When it comes to quantum communication with parallel worlds, what if the most powerful tool is already inside our skulls? A fascinating model for a “Cross-World Telephone” suggests that the key isn’t building a better machine, but harnessing the untapped quantum potential of the human brain.
The Brain as the Ultimate Quantum Receiver
One of the biggest hurdles in sending signals across dimensions is that the special quantum waves required for it fizzle out almost instantly. A machine alone can’t really bridge that gap.
But what if the receiver was placed right at the source? The WETCOW (Weakly-Evanescent Cortical Waves) hypothesis proposes that our brains are naturally dense enough to act as perfect quantum processors. It suggests our minds may already use these types of super-fast, short-range waves for the very process of thought. This makes the brain the ideal antenna and processor for interdimensional messages.
Telepath
How “Engineered Telepathy” Would Work
This system isn’t a handset you hold. Instead, a human operator – a “telepath” – would be the core of the system, assisted by a device that creates the perfect quantum environment.
The Setup: The operator would be positioned within a field generated by a special apparatus. This device wouldn’t send the message itself; it would create a stable quantum tunneling field around the person’s head, allowing their mind to do the actual communicating.
To “Speak” 🗣️: The operator simply focuses on a thought or message. Their natural brain activity acts as the signal, and the quantum field guides it across the “brane” between worlds to a listening operator in another timeline.
To “Listen” 🎧: An incoming signal would be received directly by the operator’s brain. The experience wouldn’t be a voice in your ear, but a sudden, perfectly clear thought, image, or idea appearing in your mind – as if it were a moment of profound inspiration.
In this incredible model, the ultimate communication technology is biological. Focused consciousness might unlock the bridge between worlds, rather than building it with wires and circuits.
The real question is: could we train our minds to make the first call?

Q: How does one design a possible world telephone system that communicates with nearby world timelines, or parallel universes, with people in them via quantum teleportation/tunnelling?
Thank you for your question. Here is my answer:
Designing a Cross-World Telephone: A Synthesis of Hardware and Consciousness-Based Approaches
Introduction
The concept of communicating with parallel universes or alternate timelines has long been a captivating staple of science fiction. Recent advances in quantum physics, however, suggest such a feat may be theoretically plausible. This article synthesizes two proposed frameworks for a cross-world telephone system, both founded on the experimentally verified phenomena of quantum tunneling and superluminal signal transmission via evanescent waves. By merging a hardware-centric design with a consciousness-integrated model, we can outline a comprehensive approach to potentially bridging the gap between realities.
Core Scientific Principles
Any functional cross-world communication system must be built upon a set of fundamental quantum principles that allow for information to transcend the conventional limits of spacetime.
1. Superluminal Information Transfer via Quantum Tunneling
The foundation of this technology is the experimentally verified phenomenon of superluminal quantum tunneling. Quantum tunneling allows particles to pass through energy barriers that are insurmountable under classical physics. This process is mediated by evanescent waves. When a wave encounters a barrier, it generates these unique waves, which decay exponentially but can reappear on the other side of the barrier faster than the speed of light.
Experimental Proof: Professor Dr. Günter Nimtz famously demonstrated this by transmitting Mozart’s 40th Symphony, modulated onto a microwave signal, through a quantum barrier at a speed of 4.7c.
“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known” – Carl Sagan. One such phenomenon that captures the wonder of the universe is Quantum Tunneling.
The Hartman Effect: Research dating back to Thomas Hartman (1962) shows that the time it takes for a particle to tunnel is independent of the barrier’s thickness. This implies the particle effectively travels at superluminal speeds inside the barrier.
Signal Amplification: By cascading multiple barriers, the effective speed of the tunneled signal can be increased. Experiments have achieved up to 8 times light speed using this method.

2. The Bridge Between Worlds: The Timeless Quantum Brane
A key interpretation of quantum tunneling posits that the particle briefly enters a state where conventional spacetime does not exist. This realm acts as the “switchboard” connecting different timelines.
A Space Without Time or Distance: Inside the quantum tunnel, the signal’s phase remains unchanged, leading to the conclusion that the time experienced is zero. Topologically, this realm is described as a zero-dimensional (0D) point or a one-dimensional (1D) “brane” or string.
Connecting Timelines: In a realm where time and distance are meaningless, all points are effectively co-located. If parallel world-lines exist as part of a quantum multiverse, their wavefunctions would all intersect or be accessible via this fundamental brane. A signal entering this state is no longer confined to its timeline of origin and can emerge in a nearby one.
3. The Superluminal Brain: The WETCOW Hypothesis
A significant challenge with evanescent waves is that they decay exponentially over very short distances. However, the human brain itself may already be engineered to utilize them.
WETCOW (Weakly-Evanescent Cortical Waves) Model: Proposed by Galinsky and Frank, this model suggests that the brain’s immense processing speed and consciousness itself are facilitated by evanescent waves operating between neurons.
The Brain as a Quantum Processor: With over 126,000 neurons per cubic millimeter, the cerebral cortex possesses a density perfectly scaled to interact with short-lived evanescent fields. This makes the brain an ideal candidate for both an antenna and a processor for quantum information. The symbol for the quantum wave function, (Psi), fittingly mirrors its use in parapsychology for phenomena like telepathy, which this system aims to engineer.
Design Frameworks for a Cross-World Telephone

Based on these principles, two distinct yet complementary design approaches emerge: a hardware-centric transceiver and a consciousness-integrated system.
Approach 1: The Hardware-Centric Transceiver
This design treats the system as a traditional piece of communication hardware that generates, transmits, and receives quantum signals.
Signal Generation: Use entangled quantum particles to establish a stable connection baseline. Messages are then encoded onto superluminal evanescent waves, for example, by modulating a microwave signal at a frequency known to maximize tunneling efficiency (e.g., 8.7 GHz, as used in Nimtz’s setup).
Quantum Tunneling Transceiver: The core of the device is a cascading barrier structure. This array of nano-engineered quantum barriers (such as prisms or metamaterials) is designed to amplify the tunneling effect and boost the signal’s superluminal speed.
Detection: On the receiving end, a high-speed oscilloscope or a highly sensitive quantum sensor is required to capture and decode the tunneled signal before it fully decays.

Approach 2: The Consciousness-Integrated System (Telepathy Model)
This design elegantly solves the problem of evanescent wave decay by using the most sophisticated quantum processor known: the human brain. The system is not a handset, but an environmental apparatus built around a human operator.
Telepathic Cross World Telephone Design Proposal
The Operator as the Core Component: The operator’s brain functions as the system’s primary transmitter and receiver, leveraging the WETCOW mechanism to process evanescent waves.
The Quantum Tunneling Array: A device is constructed around the operator’s head to create a stable quantum tunneling environment. This apparatus would consist of: Emitter: A low-frequency microwave emitter (e.g., 8.7 GHz) to generate the carrier wave. Barrier: A cascading array of barriers, possibly resembling a “Hohlleiter” (waveguide), positioned in immediate proximity to the cranium. This ensures the evanescent fields effectively permeate the cerebral cortex before decaying.
Communication Protocol: Communication becomes a form of technologically-assisted telepathy. Transmission (“Speaking”): The operator focuses on a thought or message. The brain’s natural neural activity serves as the signal, which is modulated by the array and sent through the timeless 1-brane to a listening operator in another timeline. Reception (“Listening”): Incoming evanescent waves from a parallel world permeate the operator’s cortex. The brain’s neural network interprets these fields as coherent thoughts, images, or sensations. The experience would be akin to a sudden, clear idea appearing in one’s mind.
Challenges, Solutions, and Operational Mechanics
AI illustration
Signal Decay & Range: This is the primary obstacle.Hardware Solution: Develop quantum repeaters to capture and re-amplify the signal across greater distances.Consciousness Solution: The design inherently solves this by placing the processor (the brain) directly within the effective range of the evanescent field.
Targeting & Verification: How do we choose a timeline and confirm contact?Tuning Mechanism: It is hypothesized that adjusting the tunneling frequency could allow the system to “resonate” with a specific parallel world, much like tuning a radio to a specific station.Verification: To distinguish a true signal from noise, messages could be embedded with unique quantum signatures or pre-shared entanglement keys that confirm the authenticity of the link.
Causality & Paradoxes: Faster-than-light communication raises the risk of temporal paradoxes (e.g., receiving a message before it was sent).Possible Fix: The system could be designed with self-consistent protocols that only permit non-paradoxical information exchanges, or it may be that communication is only possible between parallel “presents.”
Conclusion and Future Directions
While highly speculative, a cross-world telephone system founded on quantum tunneling is theoretically plausible. By leveraging the proven reality of superluminal evanescent waves and exploring the potential for the human brain to act as a quantum transceiver, we can identify clear paths for future research.
Next Steps:
Replicate and expand multi-barrier tunneling experiments to achieve greater FTL speeds and signal stability.
Develop sophisticated brain-computer interfaces to test and measure the brain’s interaction with evanescent fields, as proposed by the WETCOW model.
By pursuing these hardware and consciousness-based avenues, we may one day move cross-world communication from the realm of fiction to reality. The only question that remains is: would you dare to make the first call?

For millennia, we have stared into that inky blackness, into that glittering cosmic abyss, and we have felt a connection. It’s a profound human impulse. To see the stars and wonder: are we a part of that? Are our lives, our destinies, entwined in those celestial patterns? This is the heart of astrology – an idea as ancient as it is persistent.
Sagan’s Twin Paradox
Carl Sagan took a look at this in his landmark series Cosmos. He was a master at applying simple, elegant logic to big claims. He posed a challenge – a beautiful, scientific thought experiment: identical twins.
Born minutes apart in the same place, their astrological charts are virtually indistinguishable. If astrology holds true, their lives should follow similar paths. Yet, as Sagan pointed out, their destinies often diverge wildly. One becomes an artist, the other an accountant. One is happy, one is not. For him, this was proof that astrology didn’t work. Case closed?
Well, not so fast. The universe is always more subtle and interconnected than we first assume.
The Twist in the Tale: Twins Reared Apart
Science, you see, keeps moving. After Sagan’s series, from 1979 to 1999, a groundbreaking study began: The Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart. And the results… wow. They are just jaw-dropping.
They found pairs of identical twins, separated at birth, who met for the first time as adults and discovered… well, uncanny similarities. The most famous are the “Jim Twins.” Separated at four weeks old. Reunited at 39.
Both had married women named Linda, divorced them, and remarried women named Betty. Both had a son named James. Both owned a dog named Toy. Both drove the same car, smoked the same cigarettes, and even vacationed at the same beach in Florida.
So, what’s going on here? Sagan’s argument was that twins born at the same time have different fates. But here we have evidence that twins born at the same time can have astonishingly similar ones, even when they don’t know each other.
The Ghost in Our Genes… and in the Cosmos?
The mainstream scientific explanation is, of course, genetics. That this is the power of our DNA: the double-helix code as a staggeringly powerful blueprint for who we are. And not just our eye color, but also our temperaments, preferences and predispositions. It’s a fantastic and simple explanation.
The Rise of Epigenetics
But a new field called epigenetics shows that’s not the whole story. Think of your DNA as a giant cookbook. Epigenetics is the master chef who decides which recipes to use based on environmental cues. The cookbook itself doesn’t change, but based on the environment – stress, diet, toxins, love, cold, heat – the chef decides which recipes to use. It adds a little molecular bookmark here, a sticky note there, telling this gene to be loud and that gene to be quiet.
The Epigenetic Chef
This is why one identical twin can get asthma and the other doesn’t. Their genetic cookbook is identical, but their chefs have made different choices based on different life experiences.
This brings us to the modern case for astrology. If the living cell is an “intelligent system” responding to its environment… what if that environment includes the cosmos? What if the “chef” is, in some small way, listening to the planets?
The Question of Mechanism
Okay. It’s a fascinating idea. So let’s test it.
Scientists have to ask: What is the force? What is the physical mechanism by which Mars – a planet whose gravitational pull on you at birth is less than the pull of the doctor delivering you – can reach into the nucleus of your cell and flip a specific epigenetic switch? Is it gravity? Electromagnetism? The strong or weak nuclear force? Which one? You have to show that a force exists.
Chaos Theory: The Butterfly Effect
How can a distant planet have any effect? This is where we must consider one of the most profound discoveries of modern science: chaos theory.
We’re all familiar with its central metaphor: the “butterfly effect,” where the flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can set off a tornado in Texas. The point is not that the butterfly has the power of a tornado, but that in a complex, dynamic system (like weather, or a human life), a minuscule, barely measurable change in the initial conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes down the line.
The Lyapunov Exponents
The Lyapunov Exponents
The moment of birth is the ultimate set of “initial conditions” for a human life, the first flutter of possibility, setting the delicate initial conditions that ripple through a life. Like butterfly wings in chaos theory, even the tiniest variations can orchestrate profound destinies.
The Butterfly Wings
This brings us to the modern case for astrology. If the living cell is an “intelligent system” responding to its environment… what if that environment includes the cosmos?
Newsflash: planets already affect life on Earth. Tides, seasons, your vitamin D levels – all cosmic puppetry.
Both gravity and electromagnetic forces can impact genetics by influencing how genes are expressed and how cells function. For example, microgravity conditions can change gene expression patterns related to cell structure, metabolism, and immune responses. Similarly, electromagnetic fields – especially magnetic fields – can also cause changes in gene activity and cell behavior, possibly affecting epigenetic modifications.
For instance gravity: Blaber, E. A., Fogle, H., Dvorochkin, N., Naqvi, S., Lee, C., Yousuf, R., … & Almeida, E. A. (2015). Microgravity induces pelvic bone loss and fatty liver through epigenetic mechanisms. PLoS ONE, 10(4), e0124396.
For instance electromagnetic fields: Cui, Y., Park, J. H., & Miyamoto, Y. (2017). The effect of electromagnetic fields on the epigenetic modifications of DNA and histones. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 18(12), 2736.
Planetary Gravity as an Initial Condition
The old rebuttal that the doctor’s gravitational pull is stronger than Mars’s is a failure of imagination. It’s not about raw power. Framed by chaos theory, the subtle gravitational state of the entire solar system at the moment you are born doesn’t need to be strong; it just needs to be the initial “flap of the wings” in the incredibly complex system of your life. We have proof that these tiny forces have huge effects over time: science has confirmed that Mars’s gentle, rhythmic tug is enough to alter Earth’s orbit and drive a 2.4-million-year climate cycle. If that’s not a butterfly causing a planetary-scale tornado, what is?
Infant ponders Mars
The Moon: Its gravitational pull is so powerful it moves entire oceans, creating the daily tides. This is a tangible, physical force exerted upon the planet and every living thing on it, a rhythmic pulse that has shaped coastal life for eons.
The following table provides a comprehensive comparison of the maximum possible tide-generating force of the Sun and all planets relative to the Moon:
External forces of gravity on Earth
Planetary Electromagnetism as an Initial Condition:
We know planets are not inert. They are dynamic worlds broadcasting unique energetic signatures. Jupiter and Saturn emit powerful radio waves detectable on Earth. These are not brute forces, but tiny variations in the initial electromagnetic environment – part of the unique cosmic “weather pattern” you were born into. They are another set of butterfly wings, flapping at the precise moment your own complex system began its journey.
The Sun: Its cycles govern our seasons, our climate, and the circadian rhythms that are hard-wired into our biology. The Sun’s immense electromagnetic energy literally fuels our world and directly impacts Earth’s magnetic shield. Its influence is total.
The Radio Planets
The following chart details the magnetic moment of each planet – a measure of the magnetic field’s overall strength – relative to Earth’s.
External electromagnetic forces on Earth
Jupiter‘s powerful magnetosphere accelerates charged particles to incredible energies, producing intense radio waves. These “decametric” radio bursts are so powerful that, at certain frequencies, Jupiter can be the brightest object in the sky after the Sun.
Saturn is a source of intense radio emissions, much like Jupiter. Its auroral radio waves, known as Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR), are similar to Jupiter’s but are not powerful enough to be detected by radio telescopes on Earth. However, Saturn produces another, more powerful type of radio signal from massive lightning storms in its atmosphere. These signals, called Saturn Electrostatic Discharges (SEDs), are at least 10,000 times stronger than emissions from terrestrial lightning and have been successfully detected by ground-based radio telescopes.
Uranus and Neptune: The Voyager 2 spacecraft confirmed that both Uranus and Neptune are “radio planets” with complex radio emissions generated by their magnetic fields. However, their radio signals are considerably weaker than those from Jupiter and Saturn. While a tentative detection of Uranus was reported by an Earth-orbiting satellite in the 1970s, the signal was difficult to distinguish from terrestrial interference.
The other rocky planets, Venus and Mars, do not have significant global magnetic fields and are not known to be sources of noticeable radio emissions. However, you will hear radio waves coming from those planets in the following recording:
Our Universe Is Not Silent
All planets in our solar system emit waves, gravitational and electromagnetic. NASA recorded radio waves from planets with the help of spacecraft. They then converted the signals into the audible range of human hearing (20-20,000 Hz). So, you can listen to all planet sounds from space.
Listen to the radio sounds of the planets in our solar system.
A New Cosmic Perspective
I have presented here a number of arguments of why astrology may actually have a scientific basis. Chaos theory explains how small initial differences can have a huge effect. Sagan’s initial argument against serious astrology, is shown to be inconclusive.
There’s a case to be made for the infinitesimal influence of the planets on our DNA, magnified through the Lyapunov exponents.
And I haven’t even touched on the possibility of quantum entanglement of our atoms with the cosmos.
Comparison of similarities between brain astrocyte cells and the cosmic web.
The universe is connected. We are stardust. Now that is a cosmic perspective.
Empirical Evidence
The one characteristic that sets astrology apart from science, and which is cited consistently by sceptics, is the lack of empirical evidence. There are plenty of anecdotes, but quantifiable repeatable evidence?
Not so much, apparently.
Of course, I could tell you that I worked in Brussels in 1989 for a NATO defence contractor, and the manager asked me my star sign, and I told him “Aquarius”, upon which he shook his head and told me: ” I knew it. We have 120 employees here, and 80 of them are Aquarius”. Enough with the anecdotes!
I searched around a bit and found this study in a Postgraduate Medical Journal:
They surveyed 1,923 physicians in the UK and uncovered some surprisingly specific, and sometimes quirky, correlations between their zodiac signs, personality traits, and the medical fields they chose.
The patterns they found are intriguing: Physicians specializing in Care of the Elderly were more likely to be Geminis, known for their communication skills, than Cancers (16.1% vs 2.3%).
Heart of a Lion: Cardiologists, who deal with the heart, were far more likely to be Leos. In the study, 14.4% of cardiologists were Leos, compared to just 3.9% who were Aries.
A Womb with a View: Obstetrics and Gynecology was dominated by Pisces. A full 17.5% of OB-GYNs were Pisces, while there were zero doctors in that specialty who were Sagittarius.
The Practical Capricorn: Those in General Medicine were more likely to be Capricorns (10.4%) than their Aquarius colleagues (6.7%).
Addendum The Cosmic Irony of Sagan’s Birth Chart
I really wanted to do a horoscope of Carl Sagan:
Birth Information: Name: Carl Edward Sagan Date of Birth: November 9, 1934 Time of Birth: 5:05 PM (17:05:00) Place of Birth: Brooklyn, New York, U.S.
I hit a road block because there is no reliable or verifiable source for his exact birth time. Carl Sagan never spoke about it, nor have his relatives.
An Unverified Source
Carl Sagan’s birth time supposedly was 17:05:00, with the singular source cited as ‘765 Notable Horoscopes‘ on the AstroSage website. ‘Notable Horoscopes’ is a book by B.V. Raman, a respected figure in Vedic astrology. This provided an adhoc time and a traceable source: https://www.astrosage.com/celebrity-horoscope/carl-sagan-birth-chart.asp
A Product of Circular Reasoning
But this raises a number of red flags: his birth time is traced back only to a single origin: a compendium of horoscopes created for the practice of astrology, not for historical accuracy. The claim is contradicted by the complete absence of this information in all reliable records, including extensive biographies, institutional archives, Sagan’s personal papers, and accounts from his family.
The specificity of the time suggests it is not a recorded fact but a “rectified” time, calculated backward to fit a preconceived astrological model, rendering it a product of circular reasoning.
The existence of an unverified astrological birth time for Carl Sagan is not merely a piece of biographical trivia; it is a profound and telling irony.
The sole claim for his time of birth -17:05:00- is uncorroborated, without merit, and should be dismissed as a biographical fact.
I was peeved by this. There’s no record of Carl Sagan’s birth time? I decided to dig deeper.
The Search for the Certificate
With the help of “Upwork”, a professional genealogist and the librarian of the Library of Congress I tracked down Carl Sagan’s birth announcement.
It was deposited in the Seth McFarlane collection. But unfortunately the hospital didn’t write the time of Carl’s birth down. And his birth certificate is sealed from the public until 2035, or some such (100 years after his birth).
An impression of Carl Edward Sagan’s birth announcement.
And there you go. Of course Sagan – the man who spent decades debunking astrology – would ghost us on his own birth time. The cosmic joke writes itself: the astronomer who demanded evidence for the stars’ influence left us no evidence to test his own chart.
But was it only Sagan who is a sceptic of astrology? No, some Christians also have an uneasy time with it… I thought about it briefly, and then found an argument in favour of astrology, related to Christianity, that is hard to dismiss.
The Divine Symphony: A Christian Case for the Stars
While some Christian interpretations of Astrology focus on biblical prohibitions, a deeper reading reveals a more nuanced and even positive relationship between God, the heavens, and humanity. Rather than seeing astrology as a forbidden practice, we can view it as an ancient and intuitive language through which God communicates with all of creation, a truth powerfully demonstrated at the very birth of Christ.
Three Magi follow a star
The birth of Christ was not just announced despite astrology; it was announced through it. The journey of the Magi is a powerful testament that no field of human knowledge is outside of God’s reach. The heavens are not a source of pagan fear but a canvas for divine glory. The story powerfully suggests that for those who seek with a sincere heart, the stars themselves will bow and point the way to the true King.
The Heavens Declare the Glory of God
Psalm 19:1 states this beautifully: “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”
In this light, astrology is not a departure from God but an attempt to listen to what His creation is saying. It is an act of paying attention. Why would God create such a magnificent and orderly celestial clockwork if not for it to hold meaning and purpose?
The Goal Determines the Goodness of the Practice
The biblical prohibitions against “divination” are aimed at idolatry—the act of replacing God with something else. They forbid seeking guidance from the stars instead of God. The Magi, however, did the exact opposite.
The Magi: Honored Heroes of the Faith
The story of the Magi is not a cautionary tale, but a story of honor. These astrologers from the East are the first Gentiles in the Gospel of Matthew to recognize and worship Jesus. They are presented as wise, diligent, and faithful seekers.
God Meets Us Where We Are
A loving God communicates with people in a language they can understand. He spoke to fishermen in terms of fishing (“I will make you fishers of men”) and to farmers through parables of sowing seeds. To the Magi, who dedicated their lives to reading the heavens, God spoke through a Star.
A Divine Endorsement: By placing a special star in the sky, God was not setting a trap; He was validating their search. He affirmed that their study of the cosmos was a legitimate path that could lead to Him. The Star of Bethlehem can be seen as God’s ultimate seal of approval on the search for divine truth within the patterns of creation.

Chapter 10 of the Sagan Paradox, “From Sun Gods to StarChips,” presents a fascinating hypothesis. At its core, the text argues for a radical re-interpretation of ancient signs (pyramids, myths). It proposes a new code for their decoding – a code made available to us only through modern technology. We can powerfully illuminate this idea through the lens of Umberto Eco’s semiotic theory (A Theory Of Semiotics).
The Sign, the Code, and the Modern Interpretant
Umberto Eco posits that the relationship between a signifier (the physical form, like a word or image) and a signified (the concept it represents) creates meaning. Cultural codes govern this relationship. The text’s argument begins by establishing a new, contemporary code.
The Modern Sign: The “Breakthrough Starshot” initiative provides a new, tangible sign.
Signifier: The “StarChip” probe, a gram-scale, pyramidally-folded solar sail.
Signified (Denotation): An inexpensive, unmanned interstellar probe capable of reaching nearby stars within decades.
Code: 21st-century astrophysics and micro-engineering.
This modern sign acts as an interpretant – a new sign in our minds that allows us to re-evaluate older signs. The text successfully resolves “Sagan’s Paradox” not through philosophical argument. Instead, it demonstrates a shift in the technological code. Scientists can now achieve with a few kilograms of material what they once thought required ‘1% of the mass of all stars.’ This establishes the plausibility of the signifier (an interstellar probe) existing.
Aberrant Decoding: The “Cargo Cult” Hypothesis
The central thesis of the text is a classic case of what Eco termed aberrant decoding. This happens when someone interprets a message with a different code than the one the sender used. We hypothesize a prehistoric instance of First Contact as the ultimate example of this.
Imagine the following scenario:
The Sender (Hypothetical): An extraterrestrial intelligence.
The Message (Encoded): An autonomous probe, possibly resembling a “StarChip,” arrives on Earth. Its “meaning” is purely technological – a device for exploration. The code is one of advanced physics and engineering.
The Receiver: Ancient humanity.
The Decoding: Lacking the code of advanced technology, our ancestors could not interpret the object for what it was. They applied the dominant codes available to them: the mythological and the divine.
Thus, a technological artifact (the signifier) was aberrantly decoded. Its signified was not “interstellar probe” but “divine messenger,” “primordial creator,” or “celestial vessel.”
The Proliferation of the Sign: From Ur-Event to Cultural Memory
Eco’s concept of unlimited semiosis explains how a sign can generate an endless chain of subsequent signs (interpretants). The text argues that this single, misunderstood technological event (the “Ur-Sign”) rippled through human culture, creating a web of interconnected myths and symbols.
The Original Signifier: A pyramidal, reflective object descending from the sky and perhaps associated with a body of water (a common landing necessity).
This signifier generated multiple interpretants across different cultures, all retaining fragments of the original form and context:
The Egyptian Interpretant: The signifier becomes the Benben stone, the pyramidal mound rising from the primordial waters of Nu, from which the sun god Atum-Ra emerges. The probe’s act of searching becomes the myth of the Eye of Ra. This is a “sentient probe” sent to find his lost children.
The Abrahamic Interpretant: The signifier’s shape – a stable structure offering salvation from water – is remembered as Noah’s Ark. Recent analysis of the Dead Sea Scrolls suggests a “pyramid-like roof” that powerfully reinforces this connection. It is not that the ark was a pyramid. Instead, they mapped the memory of a pyramidal savior-object onto the story of the ark.
The Universal Interpretant: The probe’s function as a traveler from an unknown place becomes the recurring motif of scout birds and divine messengers (e.g., the dove in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible). These birds were sent across the water to find a home for humanity.
Semiotic analysis of the cargo cult hypothesis
The Monument as Interpretant: Building the Sign
The most profound outcome of this aberrant decoding, according to the text, is not just mythological but architectural. Faced with an awe-inspiring event they interpreted as divine, ancient peoples sought to reconnect with it. They did so by recreating the signifier.
The pyramids, therefore, are not alien artifacts. In semiotic terms, they are a monumental, physical interpretant. They are humanity’s attempt to reproduce the form of the divine visitor. This is a grand act of imitation meant to venerate the original event and perhaps solicit its return. The pyramids are the ultimate expression of a prehistoric “cargo cult” – a monument built not by aliens, but in memory of them.
Conclusion: A New Reading of History
By applying a semiotic framework, we can see that the argument in chapter 10 of the Sagan Paradox is not a simple “ancient astronauts” theory. It is a more nuanced claim about meaning, memory, and interpretation. It suggests that our ancestors witnessed a signifier they could not comprehend. Consequently, they spent millennia processing it through myth, religion, and architecture and signs.
The “Cosmic Mirror” metaphor at the end is apt. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence forces us to re-examine our own signs. The “Breakthrough Starshot” project does not just offer a future of exploration. It also provides a new code, a key that might unlock the meaning behind our most ancient and enigmatic symbols. The pyramids cease to be just tombs or temples. They become signs of a profound encounter, not with alien builders, but with human awe in the face of the unknown.

Re-evaluating First Contact in Light of New Technology
The Old Challenge: Sagan’s Paradox
Carl Sagan calculated in 1969 that to initiate the first contact between humans and aliens, we would need to launch 10,000 spaceships into space annually to have even the remotest chance of success. This endeavor would collectively consume about 1% of the mass of all stars in the universe for building materials. Therefore, it makes the task seem impossible.
The Modern Solution: Breakthrough Initiatives
Today, billionaires Yuri Milner and Mark Zuckerberg challenge this paradox. Their “Breakthrough Initiatives” is a scientific effort to find extraterrestrial intelligences. They aim to contact them and explore nearby planets.
Programs like “Breakthrough Starshot” want to send inexpensive unmanned probes, called “StarChips,” to nearby solar systems. They plan to first target Proxima B. The “StarChip” is a marvel of miniaturization. It contains a camera, battery, radio module, solar cells, a photon drive (an LED), and various instruments. Remarkably, it weighs only a few grams.
These nanoprobes will attach to solar sails. This enables laser-assisted accelerations of up to 15-20% of the speed of light. At those speeds, we can reach Alpha Centauri in 20-30 years. Unlike past concepts like the Longshot project, which would require billions of dollars for a single probe, a StarChip nanoprobe costs only around $20.
The launch laser constitutes the biggest cost factor. The project estimates a one-time investment of 5-10 billion dollars for the entire system. Once built, this laser could launch millions of probes. Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb suggests we could send these probes to every corner of the cosmos every year, without breaking a sweat.
So, we now see that the material required to send 10,000 probes to the stars every year is only about 40 kilograms. It doesn’t require a significant proportion of the mass of the universe. That’s good.
This technological leap invites a profound question. What influence could the sighting or salvage of a StarChip-like probe have on extraterrestrial intelligent beings on their planets?
Cosmic Mirror
Think of the search for aliens as holding up a giant mirror to all of humanity. By looking for others out there, we end up looking for ourselves. It forces us to think about the signals and objects we’re sending into space and what it means to a planet full of people.
Erich Habich-Traut
The “Cargo Cult” Hypothesis
Could an alien “Starchip”-like probe have landed on Earth in the past?
Sagan himself did not rule out that Earth had been visited by aliens, a priori. Yet, he was a strong opponent of Erich von Däniken’s idea that aliens were directly involved in building the pyramids. Nevertheless, the origin myths of humankind, particularly from Mesopotamia and Egypt, pose intriguing questions.
Carl Sagan’s A Priori.
Mythological Parallels: Echoes of a Visitation?
The cultures of Mesopotamia and Egypt play a major role in the origin myths of humankind.
According to the Egyptian creation myth of Heliopolis, in the beginning, there was endless, deep, dark water. From this roiling abyss a solitary, pyramidal mound called the Benben stone arose; the first point of order. Here a solitary intelligence, the sun god Atum-Ra, came into being. Alone, he brought forth two sentient forces: his son and daughter. He sent them out, to begin the great work of building a universe.
For a time, his children were lost. In his desperation, Atum-Ra decoupled a fragment of his consciousness, a sentient probe he called an Eye. He then sent it out to find his children. The eye roamed the vastness, found and returned the children to the pyramidal mound. Atum-Ra’s tears of joy fell on the Earth, and humanity was created.
Thereafter, Atum-Ra began sailing across the heavens in the solar boat of a million years.
Benben stones…
…had great spiritual importance, they were the capstones of pyramids or obelisks. They represented the primordial mound from which the world was created.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu on the Giza plateau reveals eight-sides during the spring and autumn equinox.
Intriguingly, some solar sails, for instance those from the Breakthrough Starshot program, can bear a striking resemblance to a pyramid shape:
Notice the similarity to Khufu’s pyramid in the paper model. A solar sail would be folded similarly.
From the Egyptian creation story to the Sumerian Gilgamesh epic and the Bible, scout birds or flying eyes are common motifs. These epics also feature great bodies of water and voyages to find land.
In these tales it has always been the task of scout birds and divine messengers to find or return to a home for humankind. According to myth and legend, humanity arose on Earth from pyramidal “ships” or mounds – whether through offspring or tears.
Noah’s Ark as a pyramid?
There are a number of examples in art that depict the Ark as a pyramid.
The Gates Of Paradise
And it is not only some Renaissance sculptors and painters that depict Noah’s Ark as pyramidal. How did they come to this notion anyways? Haven’t we been taught in Sunday school that the Ark was a rectangular type boat shape? Maybe with a sloping roof?
Well, the idea of a pyramid -shaped Ark had been suggested much earlier, for instance by Origen of Alexandria in the 3rd century:
“I think that the ark, as much as is clear from the things that are described, had four angles rising from the bottom that gradually narrowed as they came to the peak and came together in the space of one cubit. Thus the cubit is the length and width of the peak.”
Torah Scholarship
This is echoed by the rational-mysticism school within the Chabad-Lubavitch movement of Orthodox Judaism. They explain that the Torah’s measurements prescribe a pyramid-shaped ark. I followed their instructions and drew this image:
These interpretations are backed up by a recent analysis of the Dead Sea Scrolls. It suggests that Noah’s Ark was described as having a pointed, pyramid-like roof.
This discovery was made possible by a project at the Israel Antiquities Authority. It used high-resolution scanning technology to reveal previously illegible text on the ancient parchments.
A Monument to a Memory
The convergence of evidence from archaeology, mythology, religious texts, and astronomy does not suggest that aliens built the pyramids.
Rather, it points toward a more compelling and profoundly human explanation. The pyramids are the ultimate expression of a prehistoric cargo cult. The argument is not that extraterrestrials directed their construction. Instead, our ancestors witnessed a singular, awe-inspiring event: the arrival of an autonomous or crewed probe from another world, perhaps resembling a modern solar sail, i.e. pyramidally shaped.
In any case, this “visitor,” with its pyramidal shape, would have been interpreted through a religious lens. It wasn’t a technological marvel; it appeared as a divine messenger. The recurring motifs across cultures – the pyramidal Benben stone from which life arose, the pointed roof of Noah’s Ark that saved humanity from the water, and the “Eye” of Ra sent to search the world – can be understood as fragmented cultural memories of this single technological apparition.
Faced with an event far beyond their comprehension, ancient peoples did what humans have always done: they sought to understand it, venerate it, and reconnect with it. They built pyramids not under alien instruction, but as a monumental act of imitation and worship.
These structures were humanity’s attempt to recreate the form of the “divine” object. They hoped to summon its return. Therefore, the pyramids are not an alien artifact, but an enduring monument to human awe and our innate drive to make sense of the unknown.
Alignment of the Giza plateau pyramids with Orion?
Sons of Orion
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterward – when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.” Genesis 6:4
In the Aramaic language, a Semitic tongue closely related to Hebrew, the constellation Orion is known as Nephila (נְפִילָא). This has led some scholars to propose that the Hebrew “Nephilim” might be linked to this Aramaic term.

The article moves from the general historical context of SETI to a specific, modern candidate for life, then to a mysterious signal from that candidate, critiquing the scientific response to potential extraterrestrial signals, presenting an alternative theory for the signal, and finally broadening the discussion to the overall limitations of the SETI methodology.
A Sagan-Sized Question
For decades, the search for extraterrestrial life was haunted by a daunting sense of scale. In a 1969 lecture that laid the foundation for modern UFO skepticism, Carl Sagan imagined our cosmic neighbors searching for us by a random principle: sending a spaceship to any old star and simply hoping for the best. More often than not, he assumed, they would find nothing. The universe was a colossal haystack, and intelligent life was a single, lonely needle.
It is a triumph of modern astronomy that this picture has been completely overturned. Today, we know of promising candidates for life-bearing planets right in our cosmic backyard. The proverbial haystack, it turns out, might just be a needle factory.
Proxima b’s orbit is in the habitable zone, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be habitable.
From Random Hopes to Targeted Searches
We are no longer searching blindly. Armed not with metal detectors but with powerful telescopes, we can pinpoint the most likely worlds to harbor life. An intelligent civilization on Earth would not send probes randomly into the void; we would send them to these promising targets. And there are many.
In 2016, astronomers discovered one such target: Proxima Centauri b in the Alpha Centauri system: a potentially habitable planet orbiting the closest star to our sun, a mere 4.2 light-years away. While its parent star’s fierce solar winds make surface picnics unlikely, life could theoretically thrive in subterranean shelters.
In an unrealized project, NASA studied in 1987 the possibility of reaching the orbit of Proxima Centauri b within just 100 years at 4.5% the speed of light. This project was named Longshot, and it was about sending an unmanned probe using nuclear propulsion.
If our initial observations of such a world prove inconclusive in the search for life, what would we do? We would do what we are already doing with Mars: we would send probe after probe until we could be certain. Why would an alien intelligence, having discovered a promising blue dot called Earth, be any different? And from a distance, what do our own Martian space probes look like, if not unidentified flying objects?
In a remarkable coincidence, just as we began to focus on Proxima b in the search for extraterrestrial life, a potential signal emerged from its direction. In April and May of 2019, the Parkes radio telescope in Australia detected a strange, narrow-band radio emission. Dubbed Breakthrough Listen Candidate 1 (BLC1), initially it was classified as a possible sign from an alien civilization.
The signal’s characteristics were puzzling. Its Doppler shift—the change in its frequency—appeared to be the opposite of what would be expected from the planet’s orbit. Curiously, the signal appeared 10 days after a major solar flare from Proxima Centauri, though no link has been established. The primary investigators were two interns, Shane Smith and Sofia Sheikh. They worked cautiously to rule out terrestrial interference.
BLC1 – Breakthrough Listen’s First “Signal of Interest”
Some senior researchers did review the results but found nothing of note.
Long Delay
The BLC-1 signal was first reported publicly 1.5 years after its detection, and only because it was leaked to The Guardian newspaper. The public then had to wait another year for the final results. People were puzzled by the secrecy which fueled speculation.
Delays in announcing a discovery—or non-discovery—within SETI and astronomy are standard practice. Data are not released to the public until they have been verified. For instance, when radio stars were first discovered in 1967, it took two years before the discovery was published. The scientists held on to their data until they found what they considered a plausible natural explanation. The supposed Pulsar mechanism remains a mystery to this day.
PULSAR SHOCKER—SCIENCE’S BIGGEST BLIND SPOT!
Pulsars have puzzled scientists for over 50 years.
This delay practice by SETI can give the impression that data are withheld until “natural explanations” have been found; radio-frequency interference (RFI) is one such explanation.
“Ultimately, I think we’ll be able to convince ourselves that BLC-1 is interference.”
– Andrew Siemion, SETI Principal Investigator for Breakthrough Listen
Within the SETI community, Siemion’s statement exemplifies scientific humility and the cautious process necessary to distinguish genuine signals from interference. Outside SETI, analogous statements can be understood as masking underlying biases or reluctance to accept paradigm-shifting discoveries. This highlights how context influences the interpretation of such remarks.
The Mysterious Signal from Proxima Centauri
It was the perfect alien signal… until it wasn’t. This is the story of BLC1, a radio signal that appeared to be a message from Proxima Centauri.
How long did Earth listen for the BLC-1 signal?
Breakthrough Listen reserved 30 hours on the Parkes telescope to observe Proxima Centauri, but the putative signal was detected during only about three of those hours—roughly 10 % of the total observing time.
During the next six months the team logged another 39 hours of follow-up observations. Out of the 4,320 hours in that half-year, just 0.9 % was spent searching for a repeat—about one-tenth of the effort devoted to the original scan.
The question remains: Was a longer campaign warranted? More generally, aren’t extended observing campaigns in radio-astronomical SETI necessary? We cannot presume that extraterrestrial civilizations broadcast continuous signals; those transmissions may be the only ones we ever detect, and even then only by chance.
BLC-1 has underscored that, when practicable, observations of potential technosignatures should be conducted from at least two different observing sites simultaneously. That this wasn’t done in the case of BLC-1 is inexplicable.
What would be the worst case when announcing the discovery of extraterrestrial technological intelligence?
A mass panic? That later investigations prove the discovery to be wrong and it has to be retracted? Thus discrediting the field of SETI? Or that humankind no longer occupies the pinnacle of evolution in the Cosmos? Would this discovery temper humankinds worst instincts, such as warfare, to the detriment of despotic rulers?
A “Galactic Communications Grid” and BLC-1
At first glance, detecting a narrowband radio signal (e.g., BLC-1) from Proxima Centauri—the star system next door—seems fantastically unlikely. Astrophysicist Jason T. Wright countered that, from an engineering standpoint, Proxima is exactly where we should expect to find such a transmission.
If a galactic communication network exists, Proxima would be the most likely “last mile” transmitter to the Solar System. Instead of every civilization trying to beam powerful, targeted messages to every other star system they want to contact, they would establish a network of communication nodes or relays.
Proxima as the Solar System’s “Cell Tower”
Proxima as the Solar System’s “Cell Tower” In this scenario, Proxima Centauri—the closest star to our Solar System—serves as the logical “cell tower.” A message intended for our region of space would be routed through the galactic network to the Proxima Centauri system. A transmitter located there would then handle the “last mile” broadcast to the Solar System.
These nodes in the Galactic Communications Grid would need to ping each other regularly. But since radio waves travel at the speed of light, a single ping would take over eight years (accounting for the 4.24-light-year distance and signal processing time). Given this limitation, perhaps there’s another way to communicate with extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI)?
The speed of light is fixed for electromagnetic radio waves—but what about physical objects? And I’m not primarily referring to warp technology, but rather to objects that might already be here.
The Trouble with SETI
ET to SETI: can you hear us now?
SETI’s foundational premise is that extraterrestrial civilizations would likely be light-years away, not operating stealthily in Earth’s atmosphere. The hundreds of thousands of reported UFO sighting are perceived by SETI as being mostly the product of wishful thinking, misinterpretations and fakes.
Because UAPs/UFOs have no confirmed extraterrestrial link, SETI has no scientific basis for allocating resources to them. Consequently, no scientific efforts are undertaken to attempt contact with UAPs by radio or other signalling methods (e.g., lasers).
To qualify as a genuine ETI radio signal, the signal must come from far away and its detection must be reproducible. Otherwise it risks being classified as interference outright.
Highly directional, sensitive radio telescopes are not suited for close-range communication. For this reason, the Contact Project has suggested involving amateur radio operators (hams), whose omnidirectional antennas could be used in communication attempts with UAPs.

Scientific Observational Attempts to Detect UAPs/UFOs
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has been leading the Galileo Project, one branch of his project is the detection of possible radio emissions from UAPs.
With new observatories online Avi Loeb is challenging the scientific establishment by taking UAPs seriously.
He sensationally declared he’s looking for intelligent life in deep space, blasting: “I’m interested in intelligence in outer space because I don’t find it very often here on Earth!”
The definition of his job is simple. “What is it to be a scientist?” he asks. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s the privilege of being curious.” It is this foundational principle that now drives one of the most ambitious and controversial scientific endeavors of our time: the Galileo Project. In an age of polarized opinion, the project aims to rise above the noise by focusing on a single, unimpeachable authority. “In science,” he declares, “the arbitrator is the physical reality.”
The project, which is now in full swing in the summer of 2025, was born from a frustration with a scientific community he sees as often too quick to dismiss the unknown. The turning point was the baffling 2017 interstellar visitor, ‘Oumuamua. Its strange, flat shape and its acceleration away from the sun without a visible cometary tail led him to suggest it could be an artifact of an alien technology. The backlash was swift. He recalls a colleague, an expert on rocks, confiding that ‘Oumuamua was “so weird I wish it never existed”—a statement project leader Avi Loeb sees as the antithesis of scientific curiosity.
