I like the idea of many people throughout the World participating in what may be one of the most important human activities. We may not be able to survive as a species without finding other places where intelligent life is possible. We need to get in touch with other civilizations beyond the Earth. That will give us a better prospective on who we are, where do we come from, what is our purpose, and it might bring us closer to understanding the meaning of our own existence.
The life in the Universe seems to exist given that I am writing this and you are reading it. There is nothing special about the Earth as far as Cosmos is concerned. Just another planet close to just another star. We have a potential to develop technology, we have more brains than we can handle at the moment, we can easily destroy the Earth, but we could also move higher in evolutionary path. Getting in touch with ET's might help us focus our energy on what is really important for our survival in this Universe. It may help us obsolete current time and life wasting activities like politics-for-its-own-sake as well as the Wars.
We have to learn how to communicate with the Universe. Otherwise, we will be gone as many other species in the past.
Q&A: ET's exist. We'll find them if we look for them in simple but not necessarily obvious ways. Benefits are potentially large. We are the danger to ourselves more than any other danger I could think of.
Beacon? Yes. I think civilizations capable of star travel have better and more interesting things to do than to fight and kill each other. I believe evolution requires that as a price for acquired intelligence. |
