Interesting.

As a (retired) chip-maker, I've often wondered if we should look for a form of sub-micron communications from previous or alien intelligent sources?

I contributed to the making of chips that are about to leave the solar system on the Voyager space craft. I wonder where they'll be 100 million years from now? Will someone find them one day?

SunkenCiv, want to get a SEM and begin doing some micro archaeology?

ARF! We had the same idea. Wonder where the areas for the best candidates are?

Be funny if you found a common crystal scattered about, and all they said were “DON’T LET YOUR EXCHANGE CLASS SELL YOU ON THE USE OF CELLULOSE BASED SHEETS OF MATERIAL AS AN UNBACKED EXCHANGE MEDIUM!”

"I contributed to the making of chips that are about to leave the solar system on the Voyager space craft."

They are still years behind I Love Lucy broadcasts and falling behind daily.
