That thing literally has less intelligence than your toaster, so let's not get overly agitated, shall we?
So you're saying I should be more frightened of my toaster.
Who knows when it'll decide controlled fire isn't enough anymore
If your toaster is automatic beyond belief, you should be in awe but not afraid, for this alien technology bestowed upon us by the ancients is benevolent and incorruptible.
But a modern toaster? That could kill you in your sleep!
So you're basically saying it's a cosmic entity from galaxies away that has been lurking for aeons in the empty shadows of space, thirsting for sentient life, and it has been attracted in our vicinity by our foolish experiments, gotcha.
I've put you down as the first blood sacrifice.
Don't mind if I do 🥰
It's just a creative way to express a fantasy, in actual fact circuits left running that long in outter space that has random electron radiation passing through it is bound to degrade over time...
Playing elite dangerous made me realize how relatively close Voyager still is and will be for millenia to come. It's hardly in the "depts of space"
It's still significantly closer than Hutton Orbital.
lmao we should just start measuring distances in reference to Hutton Orbital
I flew all the way out there and couldn't even land at the station because my ship was too large. Fml
What a waste. If you landed, you could have had a free Anaconda LOL
Really? I have it on good authority that an Anaconda can land there...
Relatively close compared to star systems? Yeah. Relatively close compared to planets? No
Have you guys considered the possibility that an intelligence intercepted the probe and are sending responses through it.
Not until you made this comment...now I can't un-consider it.
This makes sense once you accept that Oumuamua was a corpolite
Call me when I don't have to go to work the next day, until then I'm too poor to care about alien messages. Come here and solve my problems or shut up.
The Eldritchen horrors that we saw are not the reason that... uh I mean, there is no such thing as... uh I mean it was a technical glitch, I swear!
The adjective you're looking for is "Eldritchenishese".
Literally a bad memory chip, something completely normal with PCs on earth too. Spooky.
It lasted almost 50 years and you say "something completely normal"?
Yes, ram has little tiny switches that flip horizontal or vertical, to reflect a 1 or 0, and those can wear down over time. Crappy ram dies in a few years or less, some last for decades.
Nah dude, the void stared back, the void stared back. The probe got probed man. That Nichey guy prophesied all this.
See, the truth is, Voyager doesn't exist anymore, it hit the edge of our universe and it's the aliens responding, trying to learn our programming language. That's why it's garbled right now.
just release the voyager technobabble to the internet, some space and comp sci nerd somewhere, or 300, because realistically, it's going to be a bunch of people will decode it and figure out exactly what the hardware problem is. Within a few months.
NASA figured it out recently. A particular piece of memory became corrupted for some reason. They're developing a workaround.
Nothing it can't see anymore the cameras got turned off along time ago
It doesn't need cameras to see the terrifying existential horrors that penetrate its memory banks.
There is NO brain inside voyager 1 that will be turned back into a normal human by an alien race and then come up with a fairy tale that really is a coded message that surreptitiously describes advanced alien technology though symbolism.

I would imagine there is enough cosmic radiation outside our heliosphere to easily fry silicon components from that time period
Ok... I don't care about spoilers, if we are getting "cosmic horror" in the future seasons of "planet earth 20**" just let me know now.
when aliens, say it is noise
