| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| With so much going on out there in space,it seems to me that we cannot be the only life.There must be millions of planets with life ,some no more than bacteria,others far more advanced than us,and thats where the panic sets in.If we transmit a beacon we are saying "Hey here we are ,come on down".It seems to me that just as there will be societies out there we would like to call our friends there must also be plenty that we would not! To put it in a nutshell,If we spent say 10 years traveling to anouther planet in the future and found it to be populated by Chickens.Would we look for there leader,or would we say thank you god,and dig in.I think we would have lunch.It wouldnt matter that they are the dominant spiecies on that planet.This is a worst case ,but its one we should think about and if we do send out a signal we shouldnt be too self confident as to who will answer or when that answer will get here.We already broadcast to space in all directions and I belive we will be hearing something quite soon now certainly within the next hundred years,and probably within the next ten!I run SETI@home,because I belive that we will make contact and whichever way it goes,its only by doing this ourselves that guarantees that everyone will know imediatly that contact has been made.Governments have a way of covering up these things. |
