I mean, I don't know. 444 00:32:34,646 --> 00:32:37,409 Lee, did you get my message? They're using basic math 445 00:32:37,448 --> 00:32:41,185 as a way to communicate: 1 2=3, 3-2=1. 446 00:32:41,285 --> 00:32:44,186 Okay and the Fine-Structure Constant is in there. 447 00:32:44,188 --> 00:32:47,052 So maybe they're trying to tell us they're actually from somewhere nearby 448 00:32:47,091 --> 00:32:50,189 or maybe they're just trying to establish a common mathematical language 449 00:32:50,228 --> 00:32:51,457 so we can actually decode it. 450 00:32:51,496 --> 00:32:53,325 I mean, anyone who knows basic math 451 00:32:53,364 --> 00:32:58,969 and physics, knows numbers like 3.14159 and 0.007297. 452 00:32:59,537 --> 00:33:03,273 Yeah, of course.
