Signaling other intelligences beyond our solar system without elaborate and expensive electronic gear may be underway – but unknowingly.

Kunyu City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is located in northwest China. On that site, huge pointer sprinklers are irrigating over 533 hectares of winter wheat fields located on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert.

Then there’s the world’s largest cluster of solar farms, a megaproject of 235 square miles of sun energy-soaking panels located in Qinghai, China, high on the isolated Tibetan Plateau.

A proposed Pythagorean theorem created on Earth would be huge enough to be viewed from the moon – even by residents of Mars.
