Decoding Information-rich Signatures
1:58:47 - 2:12:06 (13:18)
The extraction of a lower layer of information from the prime number sequence or a mathematical sequence like the Fibonacci series, combined with smaller divots, could help determine if a physical phenomenon is being broadcast or if there's someone behind the scenes operating it.

1:58:47 - 2:01:59 (03:12)
Summary
The search for alien life is scientific research into the unknown. A possible way to know whether aliens are intelligent could be by measuring their technosignatures: high information content and complexity, suggesting communication and information transfer attempts.

A specific mathematical sequence such as prime numbers or the Fibonacci series could imply the existence of extraterrestrial life as they are not produced by any known natural phenomena.

Summary
A specific mathematical sequence such as prime numbers or the Fibonacci series could imply the existence of extraterrestrial life as they are not produced by any known natural phenomena. Additionally, in order to communicate with the future or the past, using pi or the hydrogen line could potentially prove the existence of intelligent life.

The question of a signal that's difficult to compress may be answered by using more complex light curves or encoding information through 2D shapes.
2:03:59 - 2:09:03 (05:03)
Summary
The question of a signal that's difficult to compress may be answered by using more complex light curves or encoding information through 2D shapes. However, as machine learning methods improve, there may be a discovery of data that is ultimately not compressible.

The Oort Clouds, which consist of objects that orbit the star and extend far outside the actual star, could contain mining equipment from alien civilizations that mined these clouds billions of years ago, and as the current closest star to us, Proxima Centauri, will be supplanted by other stars over millions of years, these alien civilizations could be from a distant past or even long gone.
