The Arecibo Message and crop circle reply

So this is just something that came up in conversation tonight that I had a vague memory of so I searched it up and here you go. Generated by Researcher from Github…

What are the significant differences between the Arecibo Message and the crop circle reply?

The significant differences between the Arecibo Message and the crop circle reply are as follows:

1. Location/Origin: The Arecibo Message was sent from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, while the crop circle reply was found in a field near the Chilbolton Radio Telescope in Hampshire, UK.
2. DNA Configuration: In the Arecibo Message, the DNA configuration was presented in a double helix structure, while in the crop circle reply, it was slightly altered, possibly indicating a different form of life or genetic structure.
3. Carbon vs. Silicon: In the Arecibo Message, carbon was emphasized as a key element in the composition of life. However, in the crop circle reply, the atomic code for carbon was replaced with silicon, suggesting a different basis for life.
4. Human Figure vs. Alien Figure: The Arecibo Message included a depiction of a human figure, while the crop circle reply replaced it with an alien-like figure, featuring a bulbous head, altered dimensions, and population statistics.
5. Solar System Map: The Arecibo Message included a representation of the solar system, showing Earth’s position relative to other planets. In contrast, the crop circle reply presented a completely different solar system map, implying the existence of three habited planets.
6. Arecibo Telescope Image: The Arecibo Message included an image of the Arecibo telescope. In the crop circle reply, the image of the telescope was replaced with an abstract squiggle, which had appeared in a different crop circle the previous year.

It is essential to note that the SETI Institute declared the crop circle reply as a hoax, likely created by the same people responsible for other crop circles in the area during the previous two years.
