| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? Sure, just a matter of advancing to where we can find it.
If so, when and how will humans discover it? As soon as we discover faster than light travel and communication, we will find them in space. For alien life that may have found us already, who knows when that may be, or may have been already.
What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery? Potential benifits are the advancement of technology. Dangers are future wars, alien disease, and religous implications here on earth.
Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? Sure, no harm in that. Those who would be listening for us are probably similar in technology, and do not pose a threat to our way of life.
If so, what information should we send? How to contact us, request for information, but nothing biologically specific.
Why do you run SETI@home? I run it to further support for distributed computing, and to support the search for alien life, and the space travel that will be ultimately needed for continual contact.
What are your views about the project? only downside to the project in my opinion is that alien life will probably not be transmitting on a frequency that we cannot or are not listening to.
