| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
ET may exist but is so far away that communication using todays available technology would make it impossible. Ideas such as the one in the movie Contact would be the only way that communication would be possible, that is communication via wormhole. When humans completely kill the earth with industry, pollution etc we’ll probably need another planet to infest er inhabit beside terraforming Mars ET may provide this.
As for transmitting a beacon, it would appear to me that not knowing if the life we would attract would be friendly is a huge risk. But we kind of already are transmitting with all the radio, television, and other radiation that we emit from earth. I wonder what we sound like?
Why run SETI@Home? I like the idea that while I’m not using it my PC’s are using their thinking ability to do something; that all the idle time isn’t wasted! I think that SETI@HOME users should get data units based on CPU time. These huge corporations that are running massive systems should get massive data units to match their system performance. Not to be overly complex though (:
