Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Do you think extraterrestrial life exists?

1/i have no idea - but if we are not looking we will not see it.
2/ statistics HA! -- but it would be extra ordinary if there was NO life on other planets .--- wether we can understand it in any way at all - or even recognise it- is another thing.

Why do you run SETI@home?
i would like to live in the times when we "see" et life.
Even if i never see conclusive results of ET life either way... i LOVE the idea of people from all over the world joining together to work on a project.
i LOVE the hopefullness of this project...

i believe in the positive spinoffs:- a sense of community, increasing knowledge - possible useful technologies -- eg this model of volunteer computer use is now being used else where
