Could aliens have completely different kind of mathematics what we have?

I lent the heading for this text for one article, what I have just read. And I'd like to say something about our mathematical system, what bases the thing, that we have ten fingers. That's why our numerical system consists nine numbers, and of course, number zero, what means "empty".  That's why we are calling out the numerical system as the "decimal system", and actually this term is caused, that when our calculator comes to the end of the continuum, we mark this point with numbers one and zero, what are consisting number ten.

That means the "full". The first number and mark for empty means, that the calculator must begin to calculate or fill the second line of numbers. And when the second line of numbers is full, the first number turns two and the last is again empty. This means of course that the second line of numbers is filled. We can continue like this forever because there is no end for lines of numbers.

With computers, we are facing the thing, what is called the "binary system". In that system is two numbers one is full, and zero is open (or empty). This is very remarkable because this binary system is making microprocessor functional. And the thing, what makes very difficult to make the so-called quantum computer, is that ever microprocessor in the world can handle only one operand per case, and this is because it is connected to the binary system. And that numerical system makes impossible to make two or more operands per case.

When we are thinking about other numerical systems, we must first understand that normal decimal system and the binary system's number of numbers are the pairs. This means that we could also make numerical systems, where is not paired number of numbers. The simplest of those systems is where the line of the numbers is three numbers long. Here the end of the numerical line is after number three, and that means that the line of the numbers is filled after number three.

This is the question about communication with hypothetical aliens. If we don't know their numerical system, we cannot open their messages. And if the hypothetical aliens would think a little bit like us, but they would have three fingers they would have the numerical system what consists of three numbers, would that mean, that we could not open that message with the computers, what handle the binary system.

Another thing is if the humanoids would not use normal computers, what means that they would use quantum computers, would the message be so heavily coded, that we ever cannot open it. Maybe they would use the trick, what is known as "linear ( or modular) algebra", and that means that the coding machine would calculate many extreme long numerical calculations at the same time.  And even the most modern computers cannot make that thing. In this case, the computers calculate their own parts of the numerical operand, and they would connect together.

Those operands need very hard calculations. The thing is that everything, what is hard for the normal computer is very easy for the quantum computer. If the hypothetical humanoids would use their personal computers like tablets or laptops, they might think that their message would be easy to open, and maybe they have forgotten normal or binary computers a long time ago. They might want to make that hypothetical message easy to open, but in this scenario, they don't understand, that they are making too hard messages that we could open it. So they forget, that everybody is not on their technical level.

Why we must concern the information, what seems to come from Vega?

When we are thinking about SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program and the thought that if the radio signal, what those hypothetical humanoids would send from near the star like Vega, we might think that this kind of thing cannot be done. Vega is the very bright star, and there is probably not planets around it. So we can blow and relax, and think that this was only the thing, what comes deep from our imagination. When we are thinking, that those aliens would send the message by using Maser, they would not need very big equipment for that transmission.

High power Maser system would not be similar to an optical telescope, but the radio waves would go thru the electromagnetic field, what will strengthen them in extremely high power. That system can be hybrid. There could be also an optical telescope, and behind the mirrors is the radio receiver, what makes this telescope equipment effective also for radio astronomical purposes. The active amplification system would make possible to create small size but at the same time effective radio telescopes. Also, light amplifiers, what are created for night scopes have made the revolution for the astronomy, because the active system, what is used in "starlight-binoculars" would allow making small size but effective optical telescopes.

But then we can start to think more carefully about the radio signal, what comes from the star, where would not be possible lifeforms. And in this text, what consists the hypothetical situation, that the humanoids would contact us and the signal comes from Vega or another similar star, we might think that this kind of message comes from the remote base of humanoids. In this case, they would have the space station near that star. Or maybe they have something, what is not very often mentioned.

Those extremely advanced aliens might use unmanned space telescopes, what are orbiting this star, and then use the remote-control system for handling that equipment. In this scenario, the system would observe the radio waves and then transmit it to forward by using laser, or singularity base communication, what would make the tracking of those humanoids more difficult. And this is the thing, what we must remember about the SETI program.

 If those humanoids would have the capacity to create extremely powerful radio waves, they can create artificial dreams to the human mind. This technology is tested in the laboratories, what is developing electromagnetic weapons. By stimulating nerves by using radio waves, the user of that system can create faked memories in the mind of the people.  This is one thing, what we must remember when we are looking for the other civilizations. In fact, the "extraterrestrial civilizations" might mean the secret communication satellite, what is anchored to the Lagrange point, where this satellite orbits the sun.

This communication satellite would allow using secretive communication between members of the secret military, or intelligence unit. And this kind of system allows bypassing the electronic observation satellites, what are orbiting the Earth. Those satellites mission is to observe also own military bases because the operators would want to uncover unauthorized radio transmissions from those bases. And this would help to catch the spies, who might send classified information to their employers.

Unauthorized systems mean that somebody would slip the eavesdropping equipment in those bases, and that's why they must send that information to the communication satellite, what is far away by using lasers. That system would send the location mark to the ground crew and also it can use optical telescopes to receive the laser communication. And then this satellite will resend that information back to Earth by using radio frequency. The operator would come from any state on the Earth. That person could also work for the private corporation.
