| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Yes, without a doubt extraterrestrial life exists. If we are to discover it, scanning the sky for radio waves seems like a perfectly logical and likely way to do it. The benefits would be to know, simply, and to give man a greater perspective on his existance and place in the universe. The dangers of discovering life lies not in alien life forms, millions of lightyears away, but in hostile and extremist religous groups.
"If we are alone in the universe, that's an aweful waste of space"
2. Of course we should and allready are transmitting signals for others to find. I think something simple yet mathematic should be sent. Something like in the movie contact or the famous aracibo message seem like good ideas.
3. I run Seti@home because I believe it to be a worthwhile endeavor. I think that it is a very good way of getting a lot of computations done for a very low cost. It also alows all of mankind, if it so chooses, to partake in perhaps the most important scientific research we have ever conducted. |
