Iinzame ze-NASA zokunxibelelana nee-ETs zinokubangela ukuhlasela kwamanye amazwe

Isicwangciso seNASA esicwangcisiweyo esithi "Beacon in the Galaxy" (BITG), usasazo lwedatha liqela labaphandi ngenjongo yokubulisa "ingqondo yangaphandle," kuxelwe ukuba inyanzelise izazinzulu kwiYunivesithi yaseOxford yase-UK ukuba zikhuphe isilumkiso sokuba uvavanyo lunokuba nalo. iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga eziyingozi, kuquka ukuxhokonxa uhlaselo lwangaphandle komhlaba.

I-arhente yendawo yase-US ifuna ukusasaza idatha yendawo kunye nolunye ulwazi emajukujukwini, ikhanyise isibonakaliso esivela kwi-SETI Institute's Allen Telescope array eCalifornia kunye neChina ye-Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope yaseChina (FAST).

Okujoliswe kuko NASA idatha yosasazo ingaquka ulwazi olunjengokwakheka kwebhayoloji yobomi eMhlabeni, indawo yeSixokelelwano seSolar sexesha-istampu kwiMilky Way, imifanekiso efakwe kwidijithali yabantu kunye nesimemo sezidalwa ezingaphandle komhlaba ukuba ziphendule.

Anders Sandberg, umphandi ophezulu kwi IYunivesithi yaseOxfordIFuture of Humanity Institute (FHI), yaxoxa ukuba usasazo olunjalo lunokuba yingozi. Wathi, kwimeko engalindelekanga yokuba impucuko yasemzini ifumane umyalezo, impendulo isenokungabi ngumbuliso nje wobuhlobo.

Ukukhangela ubomi basemzini kunento “yokugigitheka” ejikeleze kuyo, utshilo uSandberg kwinqaku elipapashwe izolo. "Abantu abaninzi bayala ukuthatha nantoni na enxulumene nayo ngokubalulekileyo, elihlazo kuba le nto ibalulekile."

Omnye usosayensi we-FHI e-Oxford, u-Toby Ord, ucebise ukuba kufuneka kubekho iingxoxo zoluntu ngaphambi kokuthumela imiqondiso kwabaphambukeli. Nokuba ukumamela imiyalezo engenayo kunokuba yingozi, wongeze watsho, njengoko zinokusetyenziselwa ukubambisa ii-Earthlings. “Ezi ngozi zincinci kodwa aziqondwa kakuhle kwaye azikalawulwa kakuhle,” utshilo.

U-Ord wagxininisa ukuba akukho mvumelwano yesayensi malunga nomlinganiselo woxolo kunye nempucuko enobutshaba ejikeleze umnyele. “Ngenxa yokuba imeko ephantsi inokuba nkulu kakhulu kunokuphakama, oku akuvakali kum njengemeko elungileyo yokuthatha amanyathelo asebenzayo kunxibelelwano,” utshilo.

Imiqondiso ebuthathaka iye yasasazwa esibhakabhakeni kwixesha elidluleyo kusetyenziswa ubugcisa bangaphambili, njengomyalezo kaArecibo owathunyelwa ngowe-1974. USandberg wathi “abantu basemzini basenokuba sele befumana imiyalezo eyahlukahlukeneyo ngenxa yazo zonke izizathu.”

Izazinzulu ezikwiqela le-BITG ziqikelela ukuba uhlobo lwasemzini oluhambele phambili ngokwaneleyo ekufikeleleni unxibelelwano nge-cosmos “kusenokwenzeka ukuba lufumene amanqanaba aphezulu entsebenziswano phakathi kwabo kwaye ngaloo ndlela baya kukwazi ukubaluleka koxolo nentsebenziswano.”
