We read that a fifty light year radius shell of analog tv and radio signals is rippling out from earth to wash over the stars and nebulae. Some scientists worry that, with the change to digital broadcasting, our message in a bottle may never be found by other life forms, that in fact our signal has become noise and there are only fifty light years worth of I Love Lucy reruns beamed out among the stars to tell our story. Not to worry. The other life forms note that Ricky and Lucy Ricardo have already done sufficient “splainin” on our behalf and are pleased to change the channel.
