People often say that binary would be understood by extraterrestrial life, and so messages from our planet have been sent into space coded in binary.

Hmm, I've looked at that and also checked out Arecibo message on Wikipedia. It seems what they sent is a simple bitmap, and I guess if an alien can figure out 1.) that what's being sent is supposed to be an image, and 2.) the intended width in pixels of each row, they'll be able to put together the image.
I'm still not sure it will tell them a whole lot. But they're a young civilization that just started a SETI-type program, I'll bet it'll get them really excited.
Apparently it was aimed wrong though, as the intended stars won't be there in 25,000 years when the message arrives, and as the article itself says "the real purpose of the message was not to make contact, but to demonstrate the capabilities of newly installed equipment."
Still kinda cool. If there were a closer civilization that would allow us to reasonably (say, in a year or two) send back-and-forth messages, we could probably figure out a way to communicate with each other.

the number 11 has a powerful spirtual meaning. Just look at 9/11 incident and all the individual planes.

I woke up at exactly 11:11 today, lol.
But on a serious note, I believe that numbers and their correlation towards such various attributes is purely speculation: it's how we associate with these numbers that give them their identity.
Like someone said above me, you see what you want to.

In cricket games, they often don't put the numbers "111" (or any multiples) on the scoreboard as it is considered bad luck.
However, this is more in reference to the three stumps than anything related to 1111.

I too have noticed this significant to a specific reference or thought process. I often am in the middle of a conversation about things and then realize I am getting these number sets revealing themselves. I find it validates the messages and thoughts.
Like mentioned already that it is being told that you are on the right track. A validation of Spirit.
In numerology the 11 is a mirror. It has to do with messages received by a higher source than our own. It is also our Sun; the 11 represents "Fire", "Illumination", "Center Stage", "Lights", "Electricity", and "Messages".
It cannot be one message for all, but to each of us as we open to the messages. Like the professor's lecture, like the casual daily conversation, or even just knowing that the path is secure enough to keep from changing course.
Just the thought of placing two mirrors facing one another and infinity occurs. Maybe we step out of one mirror and into the other and nothing changes but that our perspective moves from one side to the other, left to right. Electrically it can indicate Positive to Negative or vice-versa. A paradigm shift or a magnetic pole shift.
Time will tell!

I opened up my iTunes and noticed I subconsciously titled a playlist "1111"...
WTF!!!
