Humanity will send messages to try to talk to aliens soon

Unsurprisingly, there are quite a few people determined to find hidden aliens somewhere in space. A startup called METI (“Messaging Extra Terrestrial Intelligence”), however, wants to take it to new levels and start sending messages off Earth within the next two years.

And how do they intend to do that? Well ... That's a good question. So far, all we know is that the possible first target of this initiative is the planet Proxima Centauri, which may be able to sustain life. The aim, therefore, is to establish a dialogue with other species and, according to the strategic schedule of METI, continue to search for new life forms.

Obviously, first of all, the team must decide something even more important: what message to send to the aliens? After all, since they probably don't share the same customs, technology, culture or, above all, language, it will be a challenge in itself to send something that can be understood by any extraterrestrials there.

Let's just hope that if they communicate with an alien society, the aliens won't settle on Earth to enslave humanity or do everything we see in science fiction movies.
