Earth calling: Tiny yellow dot shows distance radio broadcasts to aliens have travelled

By Julian Gavaghan

Last updated at 11:28 AM on 27th February 2012

Since the invention of radio more than a century ago, man has been broadcasting into space in the hope that any listening aliens could learn of our presence.

Yet, despite waves travelling a distance of 200 light years in all directions, they still have 118,800 light years to go until the entire Milky Way has heard the word.

In the photograph below, the small yellow dot - with the even tinier Planet Earth buried somewhere in its centre - reveals the limited extent of broadcasts since Marconi invented the radio in 1895.

A long way to go: The yellow dot shows the 200 light year radius of how far radio waves have reached into the Milky Way

And, when you consider there are billions of galaxies like ours in the universe, the quest for extra-terrestrial life is not likely to end any time soon.

Science blogger Adam Grossman, who created the diagram of ‘Humanity Bubble’ using a Nick Risinger’s famous image, quipped on his site: ‘This makes me feel small, sad and alone. Hold me.’

 

Yet, given that it would take just four minutes to get to Mars when travelling at the speed of light, the distance of 200 light years is no small feat.

And, given recent evidence of a possible earthquake on the Red Planet that indicate life there, perhaps all we are waiting for is for Martians to invent a radio set.

Bell Mobility Delivers on 4G LTE Rollout With Cisco Mobile Internet Solutions

BARCELONA, SPAIN--(Marketwire -02/27/12)- Mobile World Congress -- Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO - News) -- Bell Mobility continues to build out its 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile services with the Cisco® ASR 5000 Series mobile multimedia core platform. Bell Mobility now delivers 4G LTE services to its most populous markets in western Canada, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

The Cisco ASR 5000 Series is the foundation of the packet core for Bell Mobility's LTE network, delivering higher bandwidth and greater intelligence for faster mobile Internet services and improved user experiences.

Highlights/Key Facts

Bell Mobility has completed the rollout of 4G LTE services to customers in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Yellowknife, London, Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, Belleville, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City and Halifax-Dartmouth. With capital expenditures of approximately $3 billion per year, Bell is rapidly expanding Canada's communications infrastructure with ongoing fibre and mobile broadband rollouts. Designated as a 4G mobile specification, LTE is designed to provide multi-megabit bandwidth, more efficient use of the radio network, latency reduction and improved mobility. This combination aims to enhance the user's interaction with the network and further drive the demand for mobile multimedia services. With mobile broadband, users can more readily access Internet services such as online video, social networking, and interactive gaming -- all on the go. The Cisco ASR 5000 Series is purpose-built for the complexities of the mobile network. It is a robust multimedia services platform that brings a new level of network and customer intelligence to the mobile network. Such intelligence is critical to delivering real-time, personalized mobile services. Key components of the Cisco ASR 5000 Series include: The Cisco Mobility Management Entity (MME), which manages multiple back-end functions, including authentication, paging, mobility with 3GPP, 2G and 3G nodes, roaming and other functions. The Cisco Serving Gateway provides superior throughput and processing Cisco Packet Data Network Gateway acts as policy enforcement and manages quality of service (QoS). By combining multiple functions into a single carrier-class platform like the Cisco ASR 5000 Series, Bell can reduce signaling overhead, distribute session management, and take full advantage of the network's control and user plane capabilities. According to the latest Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast for 2010 to 2015 released in February 2012, worldwide mobile data traffic will increase 18-fold over the next five years, reaching 130 exabytes per year. By 2016 Cisco anticipates that global mobile data traffic will outgrow global fixed data traffic by three times.

Mimecast Chief Scientist to Keynote at Event Commemorating 20th Anniversary of Internet Email Attachments

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The 20th anniversary of the first standardized email attachment successfully being sent via the Internet will be celebrated on March 5 during an event hosted by Applied Communication Sciences. Dr. Nathaniel Borenstein, Chief Scientist at Mimecast, and one of the technology’s inventors, will address attendees during a keynote marking the significant occasion.

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is the official Internet standard that defines the way in which multimedia objects are labelled, compounded, and encoded for transport over the Internet. Co-designers Ned Freed and Dr. Borenstein led the specification of MIME and were instrumental in its worldwide adoption, enabling email users to send and receive graphics, audio, and video files via Internet mail systems and support messages in various character sets. Today, Dr. Borenstein is Chief Scientist at Mimecast, the leading supplier of cloud-based e-mail archiving, continuity, and security for Microsoft Exchange and Office 365. The event is being held at Applied Communication Sciences (formerly Telcordia Technologies Research), where Dr. Borenstein worked when he co-created MIME. Ned Freed is currently a Senior Principal Engineer at Oracle Corporation, where he works on the Oracle Communications Messaging Server.

Prior to MIME, e-mail attachments could not be sent between users on different e-mail systems, as those few systems that supported attachments had proprietary ways of handling them. As the general public started embracing the Internet through different service providers in the 1990s, the need for a standardized way to attach files to e-mails became necessary. MIME became that standard and is now used in sending trillions of email messages annually.

Following his presentation, Dr. Borenstein will be joined by John Lamb, Dr. Michael L. Littman, and David Braun to recreate the audio content within the first ever email attachment, a short jingle written to the tune of “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.”

WHAT: Keynote by Dr. Nathaniel Borenstein to commemorate 20th Anniversary of MIME

WHERE: Applied Communication Sciences, Piscataway, New Jersey

WHEN: March 5, 12:00pm

As a scientist, programmer, inventor and entrepreneur, Dr. Borenstein has been involved in Internet-related innovations since 1980, specializing in e-mail technology, human-computer interaction, and electronic commerce. He co-developed the email component of the Andrew Project. The Andrew Message System was the first multi-media electronic mail system to become used outside of a laboratory. In 1989 he became a member of technical staff at Bellcore (Bell Communications Research). There he developed a series of standards so the various electronic mail systems could exchange multimedia messages in a common way. Often referred to as an "Internet Guru," Dr. Borenstein largely focused his career around taking new innovations and driving them, collaboratively, to become successful products. He specializes in building consensus in diverse groups, and enjoys translating between different perspectives, particularly between software development and business strategy. Since June 2010 Dr. Borenstein has been working as Chief Scientist for Mimecast.
