Which actually could be assumed for communication with stars in the plane of the ecliptic. They would see Earth transiting the Sun regularly. This period could indeed become a common unit for communication, because it is pure nature and doesn't rest on any of our hidden cultural assumptions. I +1 you for the one Earth year (light year) idea, although you could phrase it more pointedly. Their transit period maybe should be used by us as basis for SETI-transmissions to other stars. | |
