Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will humans discover it? What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?


Yes, I think extraterrestrial life exists somewhere because it just does not make sense that we are the only living creatures in the universe. I don't know when we will find it, but then again, I also feel that we already have, so I really don't know what to believe. The benefits of meeting an advanced civilization are extremely simple: the ability to learn of things we currently know nothing about (or so it seems). The dangers are that these beings could be hostile, of course, but it seems to me that if they do exist, they are more afraid of us than we are of them. They think we're insane war-driven nuts... oh wait. We are!


2. Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what information should we send?


Of course we should. Just as we are trying to find their signals, we should be sending signals out to increase the possibilities of future communication. As far as what we should send, I have no idea, but then again, do we know what we are looking for or what we will do with the information we receive? Exactly.


3. Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project? Any suggestions?


I run SETI@everywhere, hehe. I have it installed on my local machine, web servers, and database servers, Windows and Linux alike. I think the project is incredible, and we can't trust our government to tell us anything, so we have to do it ourselves... that is why I'm here.
