Another example is, a horse that's being ridden, understands kicks and directional pulls to it's reigns.

They have already sent a clear message to us by showing us they can turn off every countries nuclear war machine?

Allegedly, and it was not "every" country.
The Daily Mail claims that former U.S. Air Force personnel have testified that UFOs interfered with nukes in the 1960s. The officers reportedly recently told the governmentās All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) that they had bizarre encounters with the objects near U.S. military bases.

I said they showed us they could, not that they did. Allegedly? Are we still not believing U.S. Air Force personnel?

Maths and physics would be the best bet - can't travel through time and space without a thorough understanding of euclidean and non-euclidean geometry, mersenne primes, planck constants, ordinary differential equations, complex/imaginary numbers, scalar, vectors and tensors - while the integers used may vary the equations would all be the same and form a rosseta stone.

I agree. In fact, it reminds me of my Greek maths teacher in secondary school, who could hardly speak English, kept a bottle of Ouzo in his desk and threw whiteboard markers at us for being dumb. However, he was the best teacher I ever had.
In one class, he was trying to teach us trigonometry and the first port-of-call was Pythagoras. At the end of the lesson he advised us that if we can only remember one thing of his teaching, it is that theoremā¦ He said that if we were ever to confront aliens, drawing that theorem would show them we are not as stupid as we look.
Food for thoughtā¦

Hahahah! There have ALWAYS been aliens on Earth! However, like you, we have human bodies and live our lives.
There is life outside the Earth, but we cannot see it because we are separated by a special dome...
If I'm even allowed to talk about it here.

How about connecting our brains via electrodes to AI so AI can do the math for us?

They're called mobile phones.
Autofill does the thinking for many too. GOOGLE ("googoo"/baby speak) is your new GOD.
And A.I. is dependant on imput not output, the same as humans. Intelligence is relative, not independant.
A transmission of the digits of pi, for instance, would now carry a ā1 slope. So instead of searching for technosignatures, the technologically-generated signals that could mark other advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, some researchers think that SETI should be specifically looking for signals with a ā1 slope, regardless of whether they appear artificial or not, and the machine-learning algorithms that carefully sift through every scrap of data collected by radio telescopes could be configured to analyze each potential signal to determine whether a signal adheres to Zipf's Law.
Beyond that, alien communication could have a higher Shannon entropy than human language, and if it is much higher, it might make their language too difficult for humans to grasp.
But perhaps not for AI. Already, AI is being put to the test trying to understand communication from a non-human species. If it can pass that test, perhaps AI will be ready to tackle any alien messages in the future.

Their own AIās, or whatever, would be well in advance of ours and I would imagine they will be able to communicate seamlessly - should they actually consider us worth their time in the first place.
