Personal background
I'm an Oz, living in Western Australia at the mo'. It's...pretty boring actually. Only good thing down here is the beach, through summer and winter, cos of the sun in summer, and the waves in winter. Just for any people that are curious about what we DO do over here 'down under', no, we do not live the life of steve irwin. Nor do we ride kangaroos to work/school. We actually visibly cringe when people ask us that. Haha, im sorry if this has crushed your hopes and dreams of coming down here and testing your skill at croc wrestling, but them's the facts. I'm a student at the moment, and i don't know whether to go the steady path of law, or be a bit riskier and go for an acting career. But it doesn't matter as of now, considering im only 15. Got a couple of years to cruise.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think the SETI vision is a great idea. It's a simple plan that requires no effort on the part of the user, and is extremely benificial to the search. It boggles my mind how powerful the whole set-up actually is. It's kind of tricky as to know whether or not life exists, depending on which view of the universe you believe in, whether it's infinite, in which case every possibility will end up taking place somewhere (i.e. life), or if the universe is finite, which could quite possibly mean there isnt really anything to sophisticated out there. Although space is still unimaginably large. I can't even comprehend it. So maybe it is a safe bet to assume life does exists. Because otherwise, it'd be pretty lonely, wouldn't it? As to whether we'll discover it, i think it'll be a LOOOONG time before anything happens. If it happens soon though, we haven't even mustered the will to get past the moon yet, let alone our solar system.
