I enjoy travel, photography and writing, in fact I very often write about my travels and use my photographs, but I also write about current events, my random thoughts and humour. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I have been interested in ancient civilisations as well as space, and I think it was probably Von Daniken's "Chariots Of The Gods" that first had me researching into whatever I could find way back in the early 1970's. Recently I have become addicted to the works of Zecharia Zitchin who has some astounding theories about man's early past (http://www.poddys.com/sitchin.htm).
There are so many ancient facts that cannot be explained unless you open your mind to the fact that earth has had extraterrestrial visitors over the eons of time, and given the enormity of the universe it makes sense that life exists elsewhere.
As far as sending a beacon for others to find, well, if someone of an equal or lower technology level finds it - what are they going to do about it! Probably not going to reach them for thousands of years anyhow... If, however, a far superior race finds it, then what does that mean for earth and mankind? A BIG awakening at best - extermination at worst!
I have run SETI@home since Aug/1999 and currently havea 3-pc network at home and 1 pc at work crunching units. I use SETI-Driver together with SETI-Spy and find these to work very well together. I think the project is very worthwhile but am disappointed that more corporate or government funding could not be put into it. With the limited funds available I think the SETI Team have achieved miracles. "YOU ROCK" guys! |
