Years ago I had a vision similiar to Borges Aleph, only my vision came from an alternating period of boredom and bliss.
I was caused eventually to feel that over time we would capture holographic images made by other beings on other planets by using solar sails as antennas and decoding 3D images encoded on photons.
I've been arguing with physicists and poets about this for about 30 years now.
This seems as good a place as any to continue the argument.
Originally I envisioned using a solar panel as an antenna, but now the solar sail, which is very large seems more likely to succeed.
In past arguments some said that the energy required for the possible transmission would be too great to enable the transmission of such a communication method.
I believe that since I first came up with the concept that I called a 3DSpace Tv in a book of poems published in 1974, I have seen some trace of secret laser methods of communicating with submarines that approximate some of my concepts concerning the use of the photonic aspect of light.
In about 1978 I submitted the concepts to a contest in Ommni Magazine, to which I got no reply.
At any rate the idea is to use a solar panel, or solar sail as an antenna to capture holographic images encoded on photons from people who can see, who are different beings than ourselves in reaction to the fact I can't understand foreign languages on the radio from the otherside of the planet and think tv and radio in the wave spectrum likely to degrade to static over very long distances and times in outer space.
