| Personal background |
|---|
Born 10-23-1966 in Groningen, the Netherlands. Currently working as system administrator for IKEA Holland. Living in Delft.
Been a Carl Sagan admirer since I first heard about him. All things in life are so meaningless compared to our mission: the search for ET. Like Carl, I try to convince others about the importance of SETI, but with very little success. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Ofcourse it exists! When you try to understand how big the universe is, how long it exists, then you'll loose your doubts.
I don't think this particular SETI@home project will have success. But we are still learning how and where to look, and what to expect. I look at SETI@home as a first step in this learning process, so that future projects will have a better chance on succeeding.
The benefits are numerous. The only danger I can think of is that our silly primitive species can't handle a possible discovery. Perhaps the aliens will only reveal themselves the moment we are ready for it. This might take a while.
I don't think we have to transmit a beacon. If alien civilisations are looking for us, they've probably already found us.
