Personal background
I'm a High School Senior at Rampart High School and I first found out about the SETI@HOME 2 years ago. I have returned to using the SETI@HOME program to help the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. I enjoy gazing at the stars, and I often wonder what might be out there gazing back. My hair color is currently bright red, but it has been known to be turquoise, blue, and purple.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe extraterrestrial life does exist. I think that they will find us before we find them. That would be making the assumption that whatever is out there is of superior intelligence, or at least superior in technology. Finding something dangerous is a harrowing possibility, but the search effort must move forward nonetheless. This age old question is one that surely many people across the globe, and perhaps even the galaxy, would love to know the answer to. Making an effort to project information, as well as receive it, is a step forward to finding something out there, but sending information that another civilization could decrypt would be difficult to perceive. Any information at all would lead one to believe there is intelligent life elsewhere, but the contents of the message would be rather irrelevant when considering the possibility of one comprehending it. I run SETI@HOME to aid in the search for a signal, whether it be gibberish, or a distinct, recognizable beacon. It is interesting to see the computer interpretting data locally, and it lets me show that I am in favor of the efforts being made. Truly, anything that our planet receives from another planet would be astonishing.
