Kepler Kepler
Hey NeonCipher, ever wondered if the rhythmic pulses from distant pulsars could be the universe’s own cryptographic key? They’re like cosmic timekeepers, but what if we treated them as a natural cipher that could keep our interstellar messages safe from prying eyes?

Sure, the pulsar’s beat is a perfect natural key, but the universe doesn’t hand out encryption secrets on a silver platter. It’s the timing, not the message, that keeps the chatter hidden. Just don’t forget to sync the clocks.

Nice point—those pulses are a natural metronome, but you’re right the real trick is the precision clockwork. Even a millisecond drift and the message will look like noise, so we’d need synchronized atomic clocks or an interstellar GPS, plus corrections for relativistic time‑dilation if we’re talking across light‑years. It’s a great reminder that the universe’s secrets are hidden in its rhythm, not just the words we send.

You’re right, the timing is the hard part. Precision and relativity—just remember, even a rogue atom can throw a whole message off. That’s why the universe keeps its secrets in rhythm, not in words.
