As long as we're playing around with the idea of evolution, maybe LISA did a bit of evolving of her own? Computer systems can be "rolled back" or reset to last known working configuration. Wondering if this is what happened to LISA.

Wonder why we were able to get so much out of her yesterday and yet nothing today...

Well, for wild speculation of my own, letsee, in the Time Machine what I remember from the movie, there was a class of human beings that was essentially cattle and the other was a breed of horrible yet intelligent mutants.

Maybe this is Horizon's opportunity to shoot a monkey into space.

Edit: I said book when I meant the old movie.

I've never read the book and for all I know it has nothing to do with that. Brainfart.

Sometimes I wonder if the second set of coordinates is in relation to Atlas / 77 Cyng rather than Earth.

Probably reading too far into the content of the book (it's already been mentioned that it'll probably be for another secret message) but The Time Machine has a chapter near the end about the time traveller witnessing the death of the earth as he travels far into the future.

I doubt that a message is being sent here, but it's kind of a disturbing thought when you think about the fact that we are cut off from the rest of the union and are supposedly in danger.

Man, I'm on a speculating frenzy right now. Please don't feel that I'm trying to railroad anything. For me, trying to envision the overall story is a majority of the fun I have with ARGs. And, sometimes, it leads to productive actions.

Even More Wild Speculation

About every 300 years, a signal is sent to Earth. It could possibly be sent across the universe to many places, yet, it takes that long for the signal to again be focused on Earth. In earlier times we would have had no idea that it even existed but as we've evolved we've created technology.

In 1977, we finally were able to notice the signal although we had no way of understanding it.

The same signal was just sent and this time it was picked up by an Artificial Intelligence, which had more capacity to process it.

Ancient. Many memories. Could it be a history of an alien race?

The Time Machine. The Origin of Species. Are these arbitrary choices? The communication from Oceanus has traveled to us through time, if just from our point of view. Could the Wow signal be doing so? If not alien could it be our future selves?

Lol.

End Wild Speculation

Also when she said "Me Two" I think she was referring to her age. Two years old. I could be mistaken.


I wonder what the other number I got was 505,103,777 if that was a reference to days or if she meant years.

If it's years, it was seeing back to the Cambrian period.

The following if it's days and it's just about a million years.
Neogene period

@Aesculapius - if LISA was referencing a time with those numbers, then the Cambrian period sounds like the more exciting "we're writing sci-fi a story" choice, especially given the Wow signal, computers being infected with ancient memories, the Origin of Species, and the Time Machine.

What I find most compelling about that is the Cambrian Explosion-

Sounds like it could fit very nicely.

Edit -

The Cambrian Explosion Part 1-



The Cambrian Explosion Part 2-



The same thing but interesting none the less-

...and our main contact, Akamu Hale, has stated that we haven't found any signs of any intelligent life. In the new Star Trek, 20 years before this, a Vulcan is in Star Fleet.
