E.T. music from Gliese 581


This is the star system known as Gliese 581, a red dwarf with spectral type M3V, located 20.3 light years away from Earth. It is located about two degrees north of Beta Librae, the brightest star in the constellation Libra. Its mass is estimated to be approximately a third that of the Sun, and it is the 87th closest known star system to the Sun.

According to Roger Anderton who has been looking into Albert Einstein's acclaimed (and regularly dismissed) Unified Field Theory, harking back to the work of Nickolai Tesla, this is a tune from space that the SETI filters just aren't looking for. The music itself sounds like a less sinister digital version the alien message in the film CONTACT. Maybe we can make a nuclear bomb with it and end our global suffering.

Play it while you're meditating.
