Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I don't know whether extraterrestrial life exists, but this project represents an organized analysis of an unknown area. Collecting and analyzing the data may provide information on other aspects of the distant universe even if it doesn't find other lifeforms.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
