The “WOW Signal” of Terrestrial Genetic Code

DNA has already been shown to be able to store non-biological information but it suffers from degradation over time. Of less capacity, yet far more resilient, is the Genetic Code. Here information can be stored. Once fixed the code could remain unchanged over cosmological time-frames.

On the behest of SETI mathematicians were presented with a code or signal embedded in terrestrial genetic codes. The code was shown to possess an ensemble of same-style precision-type patterns. The patterns were further shown to match the criteria for an intelligent signal. Only a mega-intelligence could have done this.

This leaves only two viable possibilities. Either the mega-intelligence involved was from an alien species from within our universe or it involved a super-intelligence from outside of it.

Evidence strength: On its own I would give it a 5/10 because of the either/or scenario. However when coupled with the Oxford University Study to be posted I believe it shoots it up to about 8/10

    This article was rejected as being too flawed to publish by the biological peer-reviewed journals, I do not know why a planetary science journal chose to publish something that is either mathematical or biological. It shows a lack of understanding of evolution and how evolution is not random.
