I've found another incidence of what I believe is the same pattern we've seen on the shirt, servers screens, and this image; on the Plasma rifle in Halo.

That's one of the best pictures I can find to show what I'm talking about, but I don't believe it's an accurate reproduction. Play the games, you can see the pattern glowing on the side of the rifle (in this image, it's the light blue glowing part).

I'm not entirely sure if the code is the most important part of the picture.

We have 2 clues from this server that relate to the electromagnetic spectrum.

719hz relates to a position on the electromagnetic spectrum. Sound waves I believe.

This picture appears to show the same picture at 3 different positions on the spectrum: X-Ray, Visible Light, & Infrared (maybe).

I'm beginning to think that maybe the grid & the large circular object may be a particular wavelength. I don't see any other reason why the gridlines would move when the type of picture would change.

I don't hate waves, though scientific ignorance when speculating ticks my kadoodle. (Off the top of my head)

Of course, the only thing worse than THAT is when the scientific ignorance (or pseudoscience, worse) is a part of the actual fiction. This is the reason I absolutely HATED the move "the Prestige" despite it being a blockbuster smash. Tesla was a brilliant man and, though eccentric, was not that wierd. He was simply far ahead of his time. (Polyphase AC power FTW!)

It's ok man.

Pulsars are neutron stars (ultra-ultra-unbelievably dense stars) that somehow, I daresay magically, emits radio or sometimes gamma or xray radiation.

Most neutron stars are so heavy that even light doesn't have the appropriate escape velocity, thus they are invisible and do not radiate. A pulsar somehow does, and it apparantly emits light of wavelengths anywhere from radio (low frequency/low energy form) to gamma ray (super high freq./energy).

No pulsars have been discovered (or identified as pulsars) that emit energy in the more central spectra (closer to visible light), but I personally wouldn't suggest that it means there aren't any.

So, since it is visible in (IMO) Thermal gear (infra-red EM radiation), I would suggest it isn't a pulsar. That assumes that the upper images is the red object toward the upper right corner.

In regards to pulsars... (emphasis added)

[Dunia]

Kind of like this?

Yep. Nice picture find!

[Dunia]

Does this look familiar?

I've been searching google images for days to try to figure out where the pic came from.

Wow man! Nice find!
So the image on the left is the image to the naked eye?

Hey guys. Been lurking around for a bit. Searched around for a few minutes for any info on that pic. Got a whole lot of information about nothing important. Did end up finding this wikipedia article about the actual extrasolar planet that that picture depicts. I'd probably bet that theres nothing important here, but you never know. Just thought you guys might want to see any info on things regarding that picture.

Ok...so we now know that left is visible light, and right is infrared.
If I had to hazard a guess, I would say the middle is actually an overlay of both.
Which raises the question of it's importance...from the article, it appears the purpose of the image (which is an artist's rendering) is to show how planets reflect infrared light, as opposed to the visible yellow light from a star.
