I feel like the next Voyager type vessel should include this shape made from gold or titanium or something. Also add an Einstein-tile. What more should we include?

Perhaps that knot that has a none additive “unknot” from a recent Stand-up Maths episode as well…

All Easter-eggs from our universe we found so far.

Imagine them being discovered by a less-advanced alien race, where they find a box full of "impossible" facts. I wonder what a box would look like for us.

If it was that less-advanced of a race, then they probably wouldn't be able to figure out that they were "impossible" in the first place. For a race at or around the level of humans, these would just be counter-examples to their conjectures.

It would be challenging to be a less advanced race that's still able to intercept a Voyager probe (not like it will survive atmospheric re-entry).
