San Marino 17 aprile 2010
SETI: THE SAN MARINO MESSAGE TO ALIENS

This is the eleventh edition of the San Marino Symposium on Space Exploration and Life in the Cosmos, a scientific international event whose importance is expressed and documented by impressive technical aspects such as Ivan Almar’s “San Marino Scale” years ago.
As the organizer of this Symposium I think it is necessary to consider the fact that SETI programs were de facto delayed in the past by the decision not to transmit signals after the 1974 Arecibo Message because of the possible risk to be discovered by hostile space civilizations (Hewish, 1973). Today Alexander Zaitsev’s transmissions from the Evpatoria radiotelescope modified this situation, and this is just a new beginning.
But what we should be aware of is not only the idea that the previous passive approach is stupid and ridiculous; but also the fact that it is quite useless to discuss about possible artificial, mathematical and scientific languages to be chosen for possible future extraterrestrial communications. In fact all this is quite useless, because countless transmissions from Earth during the last century can be surely received by ETI, and most of them are already in English, the most important language of this planet. So this means that we should continue to use English for future messages, both in sounds, writings and images. Besides, it is naïve to think that Extra-Terrestrial Intelligences may send us some kind of reply if we do not express in advance openly and in our common language our general desire to be really contacted in peace. Our radio and TV transmissions show our society as still being dominated by war, violence and deception, and all this surely is not trustworthy for anybody in the Cosmos. So, instead of sending scientific-oriented messages including simple or complex data, it seems much more important to express our psychological will to meet in peace with our neighbours in the Universe.
A recent international IPSOS poll showed that more than one billion people in a general world population of six billions do believe in the existence of aliens. If all this amount of believers would correspond to a religion, it would be one of the most followed religions on Earth. This means that common people is involved and has to be involved in this cosmic contact scenario. Man is tired to be alone in an empty Universe, after all. And as a sociologist, what I propose is extremely simple and almost obvious. But it is so simple and obvious that no scientist or technician thought about it.
What should we do?
Our answer is that we should just transmit in plain phonetic and written English (along with positive images of smiling people from all over the world) a simple expression manifesting our invite to answer to what could be called “The San Marino Message to Aliens”. That is, the words “ANSWER AND COME IN PEACE”. That could be enough.
This clear invitation to be contacted could have positive effects only if we express our general will to meet what the astronomer Father Funes, the Director of the Specola Vaticana (the Astronomical Observatory of the Vatican), recently defined “our brothers of the Universe”. Besides, Vatican theologists’ general position is to accept the existence of ETI because their absence in the cosmic scene would contradict God’s creative power in the Universe.
All this indicates that a logical new step in the direction of asking the Extraterrestrials to be contacted could be necessary and useful for mankind, from both a spiritual and a practical point of view.

Concordo sulla trasmissione di messaggi. Con quale mezzo, però? Radio, laser, ... ?
