    If you could send one tweet-sized message to another planet that might support life (like Gliese 581d), what would it be?

    "Sorry this is a wrong number from the other side of the universe "

    Hawkings did say we are very likely to encounter a species like ourselves that would be aggressive and most likely exploit us if they were superior.

    I doubt that he actually said that. Typed it maybe, but definitely didn't say it.

    I'd send pythagoras theorem in a way that they could easily understand to let them know we are kinda intelligent.

    Or send them a picture showing our place in the solar system so they know we understand sh1t.

    By the way, didn't Hawkings write that book that everyone was whacking off about, then turned round and said/typed 'ah no, i was wrong, that was all bull****, as it turns out'.
    Why do people place so much store on what that guy says/types?
