| Personal background |
|---|
| My name is Ian Simons and I live in a little village called Weston-in-Gordano, just outside of Portishead, outside Bristol in the UK. I am a keen astronomer in my spare time and love looking at the stars and wondering what it's all about. This is the perfect place to live around these parts as we are on the side of a valley and have good protection from light pollution eminating from the nearby towns. I have a degree in Physical Geography but my passion for life lays more in the esoterics of the universe and down to earth in computing. I am a keen chess player and love puzzles and games. Also enjoy going to the gym and really like to broaden my mind at every possible oppertunity. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I strongly believe that ET does exist, to what extent I am not sure. I would say that I am 100% confident there is life out there in the form of fungi, bacteria and virus life. I am 99.9999% sure there is intelligent life and every day that passes and I see and learn a little more that figure gets closer to the perfect score. I just can't believe we are alone in this multiverse.
I think we will discover the former of my forms of ET, I do not think we will discover the latter, they will reveal themselves to us when we have learned to get along with each other... if that ever happens. I believe there is some alien out there with his finger on the button waiting for us to stop fighting and start working together toward to continuation of the human race and the rest of the inhabitants of this planet. At this point he will flip the switch and we will get the signal we are not alone, I think that this is compound our new found interest in continuing our species.
I think it's fine for us to transmit, if there is a species out there capable of recieving and replying to it they will be more advanced than us... fear of destruction? No, anyone who is slightly more advanced than us must have resolved thier planetary differences or they would be dust floating between the stars!
I run SETI@home as I think the only way we are going to learn to get along as a planet is to cooperate with each other, I think the best way of doing this is to work toward a rewarding common goal... what could be more rewarding than learning we are not alone? |
