And it also requires the knowledge about the latin alphabet. Not only human-centric, but western-culture-centric. So, for me, this disc message is a hoax. Instead of dis-missing this as a hoax due to your ignorance of where we even got our language/numbers from, try and research the questions yourself instead of putting doubt into other people. Why don't you search the sumerian culture, where aramic/latin writing came from, where the hebrew numeric system and all other numbering systems came from, let me mention first, none of this came from western civilizations, only stolen. To say that binary, is a western culture centric, is ridicolous. Everyone lives in a system, we all use computers, to not only control every aspect of our lives, though, we think like computers with machine hearts and minds, with little to no emotions in judgement. Binary? 0 and 1. On or Off. True or false. Light or darkness. ASCII code isn't so far fetched to aliens, that in mind, how the F*%# can you even question how the aliens know of the ascii code, it took them how long to reply? Instead, why don't you question the government and your teachers/schools on why, they teach, the pyramids were built by MEN carrying stones, over a period of little to no-time, even with today's technology. lmaoo. You know what is a hoax?
