Watch Contact - I know it has some elements of cheese but it's a pretty worthy tribute to Carl Sagan. If there wasn't life out there, it really would be an awful waste. But we shouldn't be viewing first contact as a potentially dangerous, beneficial, or even dramatic event. I think it'll be rather anticlimactic (but certainly not insignificant!).
We should send a beacon, but we shouldn't pin all our hopes on a radio signal. We're far too technologically weak to entertain visions of interstellar communication. Rather, we should be devoting our world towards the human exploration of the stars. By the way, I really really resent Einstein's speed limit. I choose to believe in physically unfounded ideas like warp because, as it applies again, all our potential would be an awful waste if we were constrained by the speed limit.
I run SETI@home because I want to assist a great project. A nice certificate wouldn't be too bad either if my computer did find something... |
