… or they are already using gravitational waves for communication. ;) Or some
other kind of transmission medium. Or they exist in another dimension. That
would be nice: an intergalactic and multi-dimensional internet. What would
intergalactic internet memes be like?
Electromagnetic pollution is an interesting point, since we love (I do, for
sure) our electromagnetic communication and broadcasting systems. Nevertheless,
we only focus on pollution regarding the spectrum of light because we can see
it.
That leads to the SETI initiative, which I find very interesting from both a
scientific and an artistic view. Analysing electromagnetic signals, they are
not only able to discover extraterrestrial life, but also to detect other
cosmological events. It’s like fundamental research of electromagnetic signals
with a chance of finding aliens.

They do call it Fox-1D. ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMSAT#Satellite_names
