"In December 1981, Spacecraft Pioneer 10 took the ID card of mankind into the cosmos. A steel plate that indicates where humankind is located in the Universe presents the outlook of the man and woman, and contains some other information. Eighteen years later, on the shore of the Malaqui Island, a steel plate was found, quite similar to the one we sent into the cosmos but containing new marks on it! It was carried into a safe place and put under examination. ...Hard to believe that we received an answer of any civilization may exist in the cosmos. However, the original illustration of the Universe, of our solar system, of man and woman were cancelled on the plate and substituted with abstract new illustrations! Made by anyone, the meaning of these changes was evident: our Universe in the reality is not the Universe, but rather something else. Our solar system is not a solar system, but rather somewhat else. Man is not man, but instead some sort of other creature. ...Until this time nothing was verified about the origination of the plate, about the changes on it, and the strange statement placed on it. Universe, in the reality, is not the Universe; the solar system is not a solar system, and man is not man, but something else. (IN UNDERTONES) Anyhow! What does this statement more precisely mean? We have to turn back to ancient centuries if we want to understand it."[/i]
Whaaaaaaa?
