It basically requires aliens to build a TV : - They have to know about math. - They have to know about electricity and use it the same way we do with wires. - They have to have an oscilloscope. - They have to know about pixels. - They have to be able to see and hear. - Their sight has to be able to understand the strange shapes we drew on the disc. I'm pretty sure if romans or egyptians got that disc, they wouldn't know what to do with it. Although it dosen't say much about us to aliens, it does say how we want to be known. That we're not alone. That there is something bigger than us that could bring us together.
Mathematicians and physicists want the world we cannot see to be logical. Be made of rules. That natures follows some logic. The same way religious people want the world we cannot see to be good and bad. To me, God is just a personification of nature's goodness. That good drives the world and benefits us. And science is trying to find a model that is as close as possible to what we can see. Logic for the invisible. The world can be both good and logical. It's not one or the other.
