title: Decoding the Message of the Pulsars: Intelligent Communication from the Galaxy
author: Paul A. LaViolette Ph.D.
description: &ldquo;. . . well worth reading by those who ponder the great questions of life in the cosmos.&rdquo; (<i>Eugene F. Mallove, Ph.D., author of Fire from Ice and former director of the New Energy Research Lab</i>)<br /><br />&ldquo;Paul LaViolette is among the most advanced scientific minds of our time. His contributions in <I>Decoding the Message of the Pulsars</I> on our populated universe lay a foundation for our future society in space.&rdquo; (<i>Alfred L. Webre, J.D., author of Exopolitics: Politics, Government, and Law in the Universe</i>)<br /><br />". . . in an age in which few astrologers can actually cast a chart by hand, let alone identify the Zodiacal Signs in the night sky, LaViolette's ability to demonstrate profound scientific knowledge as well as astrological understanding is impressive." (<i>Institute for Hermetic Studies, May 2006</i>)<br /><br />"[This] book is oveflowing with documented scientific explanations of how supernovae, which have extremely consistent and regular pulses of radio waves, have a high possibility of being of intelligent origin." (<i>David Paulsen, New Age Retailer, Resource Guide, 2006</i>)<br /><br />"Now be warned, this is a very technical book. About half of it is the evidence proving what he's saying, and honestly I think someone needs to listen to this guy! The other half is more digestible for non-astronomy prone individuals. So buy the book, and just take it slow. His research is footnoted, cataloged and needs to be talked about." (<i>Olav Phillips, The Anomalies Network, Mar 2008</i>)<br /><br />" . . . reveals a vast body of scientific evidence that will give you a firm foundation for looking further over the horizon of human understanding." (<i>Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide, Issue No. 28, Nov/Dec 2008</i>)
zlib_text: The Big Hello!
  
  
  Alastair Reynolds
  
  
  Welcome aboard! If you are in receipt of this message (and if you've succeeded
  in understanding it, of course) then you've already passed the hardest test!
  You've attained a basic competence in physics and
  
  
  engineering, coupled with enough of an understanding of the universe you live
  in, to intercept and decode signals from the Galactic Information Network!
  
  
  Congratulations! This is already more than most cultures achieve, so you're
  already well ahead of the pack! Give yourselves a pat on...whatever it is you
  guys pat yourselves on!
  
  
  The next step, should you choose to take it, is to participate in the Galactic
  Information Network by replying to this message! It's easy - all you have to
  do is generate a modulated gravity wave signal with a source strength of
  around four billion billion Megawatts! That may sound a lot, but it isn't
  really - it's only one percent of the energy output of the G-type star your
  planet orbits! Go on - you won't miss it!
