That time we said CHEERS! to aliens in 1983 (and other SETI messages to extraterrestrials) | ASMR

Let's Find Out

In 1983, two Japanese scientists, Masaki Morimoto and Hisashi Hirabayashi, pioneers in the field of radioastronomy and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), got inebriated as they celebrated the Tanabata star festival. They decided to use a radio telescope at Stanford to send a message to one of the brightest stars in the sky, Altair.

The Basics of Relativity: Light Speed, Time Dilation, and the Expanding Universe | ASMR

Let's Find Out

Tonight we explore the strange reality of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and what it means for 3 dimensional beings born into a 4 dimensional Universe. It predicts our birth from a singularity in an expanding Universe, the contraction of space at the speed of light, and both black holes and the infinite time dilation at their horizon.

We literally observe supernovae billions of light years away exploding at half their normal speed. So let's find out about...

We also browse the rest of the issue and look at some of the more interesting ads of the late 1960's. Lot's of unique and memorable marketing of...
