Profile: MyMindsEye & EyesofOrion

Personal background
I am a single male from the UK. I love all black music i.e Soul, Funk, Motown, Stax, Atlantic etc and British 60s bands like The Small Faces, The Who, The Kinks and of course The Beatles.

I am also interested in all the sciences, particularly Archaeology and Cosmology.

I have many heroes, too many to name but here are a few:

Laurel & Hardy, John Lennon, Socrates, Salvador Dali, Leonardo De Vinci, Paul Weller, Arthur C. Clarke, Einstien, Steve Marriott, Ali G and of course Carl.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
A quote from Carl Sagan's book Cosmos:

The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation is to reclaim a little more land. T.H. Huxley, 1887

A quote from The Style Council's Album Sleeve, Cafe Bleu:

Don't be deceived when they tell you things are better now. Even if there's no poverty to be seen because the poverty's been hidden. Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which industries foist on you and even if it seems to you that you never had so much, that is only the slogan of those who will have much more than you. Don't be taken in when they pat you paternally on the shoulder and say that there's no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight because if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out, for as soon as it pleases them they'll send you out to protect their gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the finger tear a million of you to pieces. Jean Paul Marat, 18th Century French Visionary
