| Personal background |

| I am a 25 year old physics student in Konstanz, Germany. I'm pretty much interested in astrophysics, but I don't know that much about it yet. What got me to SETI is the movie "Contact" which I just love. It's one of the movies which can make me cry. Though I am studying physics, it is still not more than something I am just interested in. What I really care about is spiritual development which must include the physical world and lead to the question of extraterrestrial life, which I definitely believe in. |

I definitely do believe in extraterrestrial life. I think it would be just extremely improbable that we would be the only intelligent beings in the universe. Besides the almost certainty of other living beings in this universe I believe in multiple universes because of quantum physics and in addition because of the fact that there is no reason why the Big Bang should only have started with the exact amount of energy which created our universe.
I will not say that we will discover exterrestrial life within my lifetime, but I certainly would like to experience that.
The discovery of other worlds with intelligent life on them would give us an unbelievable feeling of comfort and communion with all that wonderful life everywhere, but there would be billions of people who could not accept the fact that everything they ever believed in would no longer be true. I'm talking about all those religious people who want to believe that they are something special that no other creature is supposed to share.
The message we should send is "We are like you. We feel, think, dream and love, are afraid, suffer and die, just like you. It would give us great comfort to know that there are others out there who experience the same things". |
