| I have had an interest in astronomy ever since I saw the movie Chariots of the Gods as a teenager. The movie itself was an inspiration to ask the what if questions about what may lie beyond our understanding of the cosmos as we know it. Arthur C. Clarke made me realize that radio astronomy held the promise for discovery.Though not as sexy as optical astronomy insofar as the imagery is concerned most of what exists is not visible to the naked eye. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Our own existence denotes the fact that life exists elsewhere, life does not occur in a vacuum seperate from all else.
SETI@home as a project is a noble cause that ranks up there with the Human Genome Project. It is the what if question that keeps scholars, cosmologists, scientists, the common man and theologians pondering the true nature of what is, and what may be, against what they consider as knowledge already learned. To me SETI is raw research, what may it find is anyones best guess. If we did not look for what we did not know we would never see what is there. My view is that when you couple the data from this project with the data from many other disciplines it will act as a knowledge multiplier for the broader good of all mankind. |
