Your say: Could aliens misinterpret Beatles songs?

Friday February 8, 2008

Aliens could misinterpret earth's classic songs as declarations of war if they are recklessly broadcast into space, some scientists say.

Last week NASA broadcast a Beatles song, Across the Universe, towards the North Star, in the hope it would be noticed by extra-terrestrial beings.

But some scientists have urged NASA to be more cautious, saying aliens could misinterpret the song, and even take it as a battle cry.

Do you agree we need to consult more widely before sending out messages into deep space?

If Charles Manson can interpret the White Album as a depiction of race war, then I'd say there's a good chance aliens could misinterpret whatever Beatles song we send... uh... Across the Universe. Smile But I don't think that should stop the effort.

Lol... I think where alone in the universe....but if we're not, a Beatles' song is the best thing to send aliens! One day, we'll find them all long-haired, dressed as in Sgt Pepper, singing Across the universe....

I don't believe in aliens. Have you ever listened to this other station, Beatlesarama?
