| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I feel deep down that extraterrestrial exist. Humans will discover them the same way they discovered fire and human flight. They will use their curiosity, ingenuity and tenacity eventually making contact. We may however be helped along a little by our other worldly friends. I believe the benefits include a better understanding of our place in the universe including a greater appreciation for His works. In addition, I expect that we will come closer to a single earth society. The danger is that we will not out grow our often war like tendencies and make new and more powerful enemies or use our new 'toys' in inappropriate ways on other earth peoples. Another danger might be that we leave a segment or segments of our society behind. I see no problem transmitting a beacon for others to find. If there are violent entities out there they will eventually find us anyway. We should convey in our message our values and accomplishments. Our accomplishments should be tempered by our humility gained in our failures. I run seti@home because it makes me feel like I am participating in a grand adventure. I feel that the seti project is a very worth while endeavor. I suggest that the project make available results of every level of data analysis. And, I would like to see a grass roots effort to improve the facilities at the seti scientists disposal. This would include listening station apparatus and server farms. |
