From Rob Pullar, University of Warwick
I fear that we will be confusing any aliens that do receive and decipher the
Lincos message. In the supposedly universally logical sequence of numbers from 0
to 15 there is no number 13. I just hope that 13 wasn’t deliberately omitted for
superstitious reasons in a message designed to show that we are an intelligent,
advanced and sophisticated civilisation.
