Personal background
Languages for communication were surely the most important step enabling larger human societies. I learned to speak Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and do use English for business purpose. I learned some basic French, Finish. But would we be able to communicate or understand a code from somewere in the universe? We even can't translate the Phaistos disk text from Greece because the language is forgotten, Would be a tragedy, if somebody would try to send us a message and nobody listening. From the knowledge of the universe it seems to be highly possible to have intelligent life on thousands of planets in our galaxy.

I love bike tours long and short and I do earn money in the IT world. Prefer using Linux.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home

The technology gave us new chances to discover signals from intelligent life. Most people do not take this task serious enough. But, if something has been found it will change our perspective forever. A shame how much money runs into unproductive organizations. Better to spend more resources in projects like SETI.

Getting a signal could be a signal not meant for us or a signal to get contact. We produce a lot of technical signals. I read SETI could discover an airport radar signal in 100 lightyears distance. So we can't hide. I have my problems with the time a signal is on its way. Maybe "only" 50 years. So they potentially get a signal back after minimum 100 years. Will we or anybody else breake the barrier of speed of light for communication? Or will we be prisoners of the long distances forever?
