    Tickle this and you just might be able to communicate with aliens in outer space. Tickle what?

    Question #100581. Asked by edmund80. (Oct 27 08 11:43 PM)

    		Regularly variable stars - Cepheid variables - could be "tickled" with high-energy beams of neutrinos, causing the pulsations of the star to change. Binary information could be encoded in these pulses and due to the high luminosity of these stars, would be visible for up to 60 million light years.

    Why can't we tickle ourselves? It can't be the lack of an element of surprise, because I freak out even when I know someone's coming to tickle me.

    Why can't we tickle ourselves?

    Why can't anyone tickle (as in someone who is ticklish) themselves?
