I enjoy building all sorts on things from wood, metel, rocks anything.I enjoy reading Harry Potter, John Grisham and Albert Einstine's book on "Relativity". I smoke Cuban cigars (While they last) and like to drink red wine. I also have a 50 Ford turck that I love to drive around. |

1. I very much think that intellagent life forms exist. I am convinced that there are as many intellagent life forms that one can imagine and probably some you can't. The Universe is endless so therefore, the chances of intellagent life forms are endless.
(1A) I think we will make contact through a signal that was transmitted long ago by an intellagent life form. The Universal Language will have to be the most commond thing in the universe like the elements and math logic. These are the only things that remain constant. Other intellagent life forms may have different ranges for sound and sight or even other ways of preceiving their enviroment and they would know the same so, Hydrogen would be the logical way to go. I beleive we are on the right track with the Big Radio telescopes and on the right frequency.
(1B) The benifits would be that we would know other life forms have had the oppertunity to live long enough to send out signals before they self destructed because of the knowledge they aquired, or maybe they did survive and there is hope for our life form!
The danger I think would be none because, the signal was probably sent thousands of years ago and If an intellagent life form was close enough to observe use thats all they would. It would be like us observing a prehistoric cave man. We wouldn't be able to communicate with him and we surely wouldn't want his cave to live in. I often wonder how many intellagent life forms have come and gone, not being able to over-come the pitfall of greed and control of nucular energy for peaceful uses. I my opinion, only an intellagent life form that is not greedy and is 100% good can survive long enough to travel close to the speed of light which is necessary to travel the Universe.
(3) I like the project and I hope I am the one that receive the first signals. I do have A suggestion that you provide the Sound of the signal so we can hear what we are decoding. Thanks, Bob |
