Here’s how we could begin decoding an alien message using math

A new mathematical approach has been proposed to decode messages sent by extraterrestrial beings, such as the famous Arecibo message sent in 1974. The method involves analyzing every possible combination of dimension number and size to determine the structure of the message. By assessing local and global orderliness, researchers can identify the most likely configuration. The approach has shown promising results in decoding various messages.
