Can I Use Woolite In An He Machine
SETI Space.com section I found a interesting article (which of course is no translation into Castilian axxon.com ) which is an aspect that surely did not think too much when we imagine a future human-alien contact: art.
Indeed, as noted in Douglas Vakoch Space.com, if one day the Fermi paradox passed to memory lane and had a visit from our "elder brothers of the cosmos" (to use a term that will delight our readers magufos) is more than likely do not feel no interest in Einstein. Instead
Bach could leave with their mouths open .
And is that if an alien civilization with the technological means to be dropped by the Earth in person, that will mean that thousands of years who know the relativity ... which probably will not be impressed too with the achievement of our much admired scholar German.
Our physics, which actually is the same
whole universe, they say little or nothing about the nature of a kind "teenager" like ours, still unable to prevent its first energy crisis and ecological. However Brandenburg concert of Bach, as sample intrinsically human genius could fascinate. Although this is expected of course, that visitors are educated, refined, curious ... and if possible to have the sense of hearing.
All this reminds me of the infamous debate between humanistic and scientistic on the preponderance of education should take one or the other studies. Personally for years I think
secondary schools should end the traditional division of pupils branches of letters and science and begin to train them all (even minimally) in what we simply call culture.
And where to look you maybe aliens eons ago they learned that valuable lesson.
