Why do you run SETI@home?
The reason that I started this is no longer the reason that I am running it.
I started out, blue-eyed face towards the sky. Thinking that oh yeah, now we will pin them ET's down.
But that was in the euphoria of S@H staring up, and in actuallity my view on this is now more or less the exact contrary.
I do not think that S@H will find any alien signals. I think that current theories of stellar system creation and developement need a major overhaul.
I think that we know a lot already.
1) The solar system harbor life.
2) The solar system harbor intelligent life.
3) The solar system is apprx 4 1/2 billion years old.
4) Intelligent life is defined as capable of sending signals that can be detected in the "water hole".
5) Intelligent life have been present on Sol 3 apprx 100 years.
6) Gestation of intelligent life on all planets that we have sofar discovered to be apprx 4 1/2 billion years.
7) In a time-span of 4 1/2 billion years, Sol 3 have given rise to only 1 species that have "intelligence"
Thoughts about ETI
Seem that I jump the gun on your questions, alas:
1) No I do not think that they are out there.
2) I do think that life is teaming all over the galaxy, and thoughout the universe.
3) No we will not discover them. Law of averages, if they are outthere, they would have discovered us.
4) Since I do not think we will find them, I see no danger. Should I be proven wrong then NO I do not fear meating sentience from other steallar systems,
5) Yes we should crank up a dedicated transmisions program sending in the waterhole, long full and repeated transmissions.
