This reminds me of the attempt at extraterrestrial communication that went sailing (slowly) to the stars with the Voyager spacecraft.


The thing that bugs me is why they think the "universal" symbol for radiation will still spell "radiation" in the far-flung future. Why not a symbol of the atom, with comic-book energy waves coming from it? Pictograms are, I believe, the most reliable communicators.
