The genome is the entirety of an organism's genetic information, stored in its DNA. It encompasses all genes and contains the blueprints for an organism's development, function, and reproduction. It is humanity's most personal and precise knowledge about itself. It is present in every cell of an organism—a two-meter-long biological dataset in the form of the famous double helix. Due to the enormous size (3.2 billion base pairs) of this biological dataset, the risk of confusion between individual people is practically zero. Using a hair sample, we sequence a person's genome, that is, all of their existing DNA, and store it as a digital dataset. Relevant SNP markers are generalized using HG38 sequences to such an extent that the dataset can be used in compliance with GDPR regulations. Upon its launch into space, the dataset is deleted from our systems and embarks on its perpetual journey through the cosmos. The data packet (approx. 3.1 GB) is modulated onto a powerful laser on a day when weather and Earth's orientation are suitable, taking into account airspace monitoring, and sets off towards a previously selected exoplanet. Depending on the distance to the target planet, the laser signal can take anywhere from several years to centuries to travel. During transmission, the divergence (spreading) of the laser beam causes the entire planetary system of the target star to be reached and overwhelmed. Furthermore, this results in an exponential decrease in signal strength per unit area, meaning that only a technologically advanced civilization would be able to receive and correctly interpret the signal. The remaining signal continues its eternal journey into the vastness of space.
