Well, it remains to be seen if anything comes of this "announcement" on Daily Galaxy, April 1, 2011.
Hmm, April 1!
But here is an introduction to the "announcement" the DailyGalaxy cites:
China's Xinhua News Agency, the official press agency of the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) announced Thursday that the National Radio Astronomy Observatory has been monitoring signals from a previously unknown "dark" satellite in orbit around Saturn for the past 90 days. According to government officials, the signals appear to be the first verified transmission from an alien civilization.If this alleged announcement proves to be real and the "discovery" verified, the significance of this discovery is something this blogger had previously deduced from NASA's December 13, 2010 NASA "Mono Lake" press conference - that NASA is suggesting the DNA bioinformation coding is universal in the true sense, i.e., DNA is to be found throughout the universe as a basic format for life. From the "announcement:
China's leading astrobiologist, Dr. Xi Chang, a graduate of MIT, told Xinhua that "the sigal repeats itself continuosly in 2 minute long sequences and appeahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifrs to be the four bases of the genetic code A,G, U and C that ribosomes must convert mRNA sequences into proteins and the twenty different amino acids that proteins are comprised of. Dr. Rosie Redfield, the newly appointed director of the Astrobiology Program at NASA Headquarters, Washington, confirmed China's dicovery this morning. In a press release Redfield said that "China's discovery is monumental consequences and has been shared with the world's premier sciemtific instituions for vetting and peer review."
"if confirmed this will be the first proof of extraterrestrial life in the universe and confirmation that our DNA basis for life may be universal throughout the known universe."A joke? Real? TO be continued.
