This was extremely interesting. The scientists overlapped those curves, then pieced together several flat portraits. The images were as simple as stick figures children drew on paper with crayons. Because of this, the scientists of various civilizations felt that this shape might not be the unknown life-form's true body type. To understand how these curves were meant to be joined, they first had to interpret the information on the other sides of the metal plate.
And to interpret that information, they needed to know what those pits, large and small, represented.
Because Humanity had the ancient experience of launching Golden Records into space as self-introductions, they still had some say in this field.
The other civilizations actually knew about such things as well. After all, back on the path of The Great Voyage, it wasn't as if they had never encountered anything similar.
Of course, Humanity's Golden Record still had some reference value.
Back then, when Humanity launched the Golden Record into outer space, their scientists had gone to enormous lengths so that aliens would be able to understand the information inside it.
First came the instructions.
Human scientists had ingeniously designed a set of instructions based on the most fundamental, common, and simple Hydrogen Atom in the universe.
A Hydrogen Atom was composed of one proton and one electron. The scientists engraved a diagram of Hydrogen Atom spin transition onto the Golden Record, and the first step in interpreting it was to know that their spin directions had two possibilities: one in which they spun in the same direction, and another in which they spun in opposite directions.
Scientists discovered that there was an energy difference between these two possibilities. The energy when they spun in the same direction was a tiny bit higher than when they spun in
