...from whom I have taken so much.
1:03:12
You found the primer.
1:03:16
Clever girl!
1:03:18
Lights.
1:03:27
Pages and pages of data.
1:03:30
Over 63,000 in all.
1:03:33
And on the perimeter of each--
1:03:36
Alignment symbols, registration marks,
but they don't line up.

1:03:40
They do...
1:03:41
...if you think like a Vegan.
1:03:44
An alien intelligence
has got be more advanced...

1:03:47
...and that means efficiency
functioning on multiple levels...

1:03:51
...and in multiple...
1:03:53
...dimensions.
1:03:58
Yes, of course!
1:04:01
Where's the primer?
1:04:02
You'll see.
1:04:04
Every three-dimensional page

we have these basic equations:

1:04:24
So with this very elementary foundation,
they have given us a kind of...

1:04:28
...general scientific vocabulary.
1:04:30
We now have the symbols
for true and false--

1:04:33
This was the key...
1:04:34
...that allowed us to decipher
their language...

1:04:37
...for physics, geometry, chemistry.
Next frame, Ellie.

1:04:42
Yes, and when we apply this
to the rest of the message...

1:04:46
...we find this.
1:04:51
Those look like engineering schematics,
almost like blueprints.

1:04:56
Yes.
1:04:57
It is our belief that
the message contains instructions...
