    In the 70s of the 19th century, carrying most of the earth's genetic information and civilization "Voyager" series probes flew out of the earth and went to unknown outer space.

    After several dormant periods, the Voyager probes successfully flew through the Kuiper Belt and out of the solar system, breaking the record for the farthest flight of the same type of probe. After more than half a century of flying, one can't help but wonder, have these probes ever encountered any extraterrestrial civilizations?

    For now, scientists say they have found no clues about the existence of any extraterrestrial civilizations, and the Voyager series does not seem to have a more fantastic experience outside the solar system than the endless darkness, and the concern is that these probes may soon lose power. Perhaps until the Earth loses contact, it will be impossible for us to actively contact the aliens.

    What we can be sure, however, is that even if the probe loses contact with Earth, humans will still be able to display and release their own information into space. According to relevant information, the content recorded by the ** record carried by the "Voyager" series can be preserved for at least 1 billion years, if we have enough time to wait, even if the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation at that time, the ** record that preserves our important information can still show the traces of the existence of human civilization to foreign civilizations.

    According to reports, there is a very important element engraved on the record - hydrogen; As the basic component of the universe, the electrons in the hydrogen atom rotate counterclockwise at a fixed frequency and can play the role of a clock, so that extraterrestrial civilizations can understand our time scale, and thus infer the time cycle of human civilization in the universe.

    At the same time, the record also contains a pattern of 14 pulsars around the sun; They are connected together by different line segments and patterns of hydrogen atoms that can accurately mark our bearings. If extraterrestrial civilizations could understand the meaning of these regiments, they would soon be able to understand where humans used to live.

    In addition, people send out these information in the form of records, and extraterrestrial civilizations may hear our voices, including the voice of whales, the first words of a mother to her child, greetings in different languages on Earth, etc., a lot of information is collected in this record, they may take a long time to study, but they will also open the long river of human civilization.

    A billion years is long enough, even if humanity no longer exists. However, humanity never gives up the exploration of the unknown, and once we come into contact with foreign civilizations, we will open a new chapter. Until then, Voyager will fly into the depths of the universe with a friendly greeting from humans to find the ultimate answer.

    Personally, I don't think the records carried by travelers will be usable after tens of thousands of years. Because the environment of the universe is very complex. Various planets erupt with energy and radiation, which affects the lifespan of the record.

    There are also the impact of meteorites and so on. It's inevitable that there will be bumps into this record.

    Really, because the records on the Voyager are flying in space, there is no air in space, there is no wear and tear, and there are no microorganisms corroding objects, so they will remain in the state they were when they left the earth, and they can theoretically be used after tens of thousands of years.

    It shouldn't work. Because the radiation in the universe is very strong, it is very damaging to the disc, so it should not be usable after tens of thousands of years.

    The records carried by the Voyager cannot be preserved for hundreds of millions of years, because the material of the records determines that they cannot be preserved for a long time.

    The records carried by the Voyager can indeed be preserved for hundreds of millions of years, because he will not be corroded in outer space and can be preserved for a long time.

    According to relevant information, the content recorded in the ** record carried by the Voyager series can be preserved for at least one billion years, so it may be that when the earth is no longer inhabited by individuals, ** records may still exist.

    The record is gold-plated copper and contains a diamond phonograph needle, which scientists have shown to last for 1 billion years in outer space.

We all know that the earth is the only planet where human beings can live and live until now, and the number of people living on the earth is also very large. However, with the development of science and technology, human beings have gradually shifted their attention to other planets, hoping to find a "second earth", and at the same time, they also hope to find other alien civilizations in addition to human civilization. So, humans invented Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to explore space. >>>More

Yes, the Earth is not very large in the first place, and there are millions of planets about the size of the Earth in the vast solar system, so it is not very surprising that the Earth is like a small bright spot.

When Voyager 1 was launched by a rocket, its speed was more than 35 kilometers per second, but at our location on Earth, the speed had to reach 42 kilometers per second in order to sail freely under the gravity of the solar system, so it was impossible to escape the solar system at first. But then, through the gravitational slingshot effect while orbiting Jupiter and Saturn, it accelerates fast enough to escape the solar system. For example, the speed of escaping the solar system near Jupiter is only 18 kilometers per second, but here, in the current position, the speed drops to 16 kilometers per second, but the speed of escaping the solar system is only a few kilometers per second. >>>More
