Introduction
This is a picture of the natural world. The natural world is something that was not created by us humans but by a force that we don’t know. In other words, they were born in this way. This is a system that introduces the principle of our world like who eats who and who is the most powerful in their world.
The bottom part is grass, they can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen to make humans survive. But they have no arms and legs, so when animals want to eat them, they can eat them. They are called producers, who can produce oxygen for humans and animals to survive.
Other animals are called consumers, which means that they consume energy but do not create energy. In the middle of the plaque is a worm, which eats plants and smaller insects to live. It is very small and weak so when bird wants to catch them and eat them, they can’t resist but only be eaten. This bird relies on eating worms for living. In the left bottom part, there is an animal called a rabbit. It survives by eating grass. On the left top side is a creature called an eagle, it survives by eating small animals like rabbits and birds. However, it doesn’t eat what rabbits and birds eat. On the right part of the plaque are two snails, which survive by eating grass. But it could also be eaten by birds and lizards as the plaque shows.
It may sound complex that one needs to eat many other creatures to live and can also be eaten by many other creatures. However, only in this way can they maintain their life, for their moving consumes energy, which can only be gained through eating.
Maybe you don’t understand what energy is. Energy represents movement and operations; it is the foundation of every living creature’s action. It originates from the sun – who can give lights to grass, and grass can change this light to energy in their body and give energy to other upper creatures by being eaten. The sequence of eating and being eaten forms a chain, which is called the food chain. From the plaque, we can see that there are many food chains. One is grass to rabbit to the eagle. We both maintain our living by eating things, and if you cannot be eaten by other creatures, you are at the top of the food chain. It is like the behavior that we humans eat apples and bread and you eat giant nut or gourd and a gelatinous ellipsoid. However, the component of the food chain must be living creatures, so if you change your food to some living creatures, then it means in this chain, you are at the top. The sun itself is not composed of the food chain, but it is the foundation of the food chain.
Criticism
Animals in the plaque are not so representative, and if aliens don’t have similar experiences, they may don’t understand the basic understanding of plants and animals. they may not form a system consciousness although this is not a causal relationship.
