| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
OK, lets look at the maths here. There are an estimated 400 billion stars in our own galaxy, and ther are billions of galaxys. Does anyone really believe that our planet is the only one with life? I'm not talking about a race of super beings here, any life even at the lowest form must be present on other worlds. Do I think we'll ever speak? No. We're all to far away, although it'd be nice to think that one day, many years from now, someone on another world will pick up a signal from a long extint human race, far away.
I think the Seti project is excellent. I'm not sure that it'll find life outside of our own immediate system, but the technologies that SETI has developed will be used in other projects (we've already seen a similar project for fighting cancer). It demonstrates that we can all put our computers idle time to good use.
I'd like to know more about what the program is analysing...I see the jargon but what does it mean? |
