> Importantly, the Golden Record was carefully designed using universal scientific principles—binary notation, hydrogen atom properties, and pulsar maps—ensuring that any intelligent civilization might realistically decode it. The instructions etched onto its cover rely on fundamental concepts universally understandable across the cosmos.

You're describing the Pioneer Plaque, not the Golden Record: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque

Both the Golden Record and the Pioneer Plaque were carefully crafted with universality in mind, drawing on fundamental scientific principles understandable by any intelligent civilization. They both shared many similarities. [1][2]

  > Some images contain indications of chemical composition. All measures used on the pictures are defined in the first few images using physical references that are likely to be consistent anywhere in the universe.

  > The pulsar map and hydrogen molecule diagram are shared in common with the Pioneer plaque.
