Reading his prior posts, he thinks we are already being visited by alien spacecraft, yet SETI@home hasn't detected anything, so logically SETI@home must be a scam, rather than the false UFOlogy he's gotten himself into.

May I indicate that I wish to indicate something, that if I indicated that something, I would be banned :-)

Goodbye, farewell...


If you indicate something and are banned for it, then suggests what you want to indicate might not be too pleasant of an indication for SETI@home. But if you withhold this indication out of fear of being banned, and you feel this indication is a valid feeling/opinion, why should you fear being banned? If you no longer believe in SETI@home's stated goals or scientific progress, why worry about staying?

I guess humour doesn't travel well across the Atlantic. I give up on that for now....

Thump!!


o.O My apologies good sir. Methinks humor doesn't always translate well in text.

Ah crop circles near Arecibo, maybe one of the folks from the lab got a bit bored while waiting to pick up some drives.

Waste my time, heck no.
I hope any of us are successful in finding ET, but in the meantime, I have found good friends I can communicate with, and learn from. I have become aware of so many different points of view, and cultures, that it is more than worth it, even if we never find ET. In the winter, I also save a lot of oil money, as Seti helps to heat my house. I am in for the duration.

Hi Zappy, good to see you posting again.

Consults the Origami ......

Ah, roughly translated that means

"You are cordially invited to go and procreate elsewhere, and please place the hinged entrance flap in the portal as you leave".


Loosely translated all this really means is:

So Seti@home is a scam because he found another site called " Open SETI initiative "

Which is about finding microbes or something

Maybe he hasn't seen any of the resent Doco's featuring some of the staff at Berkley .

Message 1712889 - Posted: 14 Aug 2015, 16:34:10 UTC - in response to Message 1712877.  

But I wove a more complex fabric, including brainwave research and information security, owning a metaphysical bookstore, and managing UC Berkeley's SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) project, known as Project SERENDIP, in the years 1978-1982. Berkeley 's present-day SETI@home is an outgrowth of that project.

Can anyone confirm that is true?

His website was designed for Internet Explorer 1 running on Windows 95, clearly qualified to manage SERENDIP.

If Seti is a scam, which I don't believe it is, it has kept many of us amused for over 16 years. Well worth the effort IMO.

I can't understand French as a language, so I couldn't really understand the video. However, when I google Gerry Zeitlin, it appears he's just another person caught up in UFOlogy and has himself convinced of certain conclusions without absolute data.

He's obviously very smart, but even smart people are prone to jumping to conclusions and drawing false inferences from text and other data. He's certainly entitled to his opinions, but don't let his past achievements automatically mean that he's an authority figure on his research and conclusions. This is where peer review tends to come in handy as it prevents a single wayward person like Gerry from dictating to science.

That's the thing that stuck me, conclusions before looking at every possibility. Like someone finding a lump of iron sulphide and assuming they're rich.
