Interstellar Messaging

Interstellar messaging refers to the theoretical methods and technologies used to communicate across vast distances in space, specifically between stars. Given the immense space between stars, messages could take years or centuries to reach their destinations. Scientists explore various methods, such as radio waves or laser signals, to send information, potentially to other intelligent civilizations. The challenge lies not only in how to transmit messages but also in how to encode them meaningfully and ensure they can be understood by recipients who may have different languages or forms of communication. This field combines efforts from astrophysics, communication theory, and computer science.
