| My current plane of existence is in Santa Rosa, CA. I have been an inhabitant on this blue/green orb of ours for over 44 revolutions around Solaris. I am a jack of many trades, master of none. The machine that I use to crunch SETI data runs at 1.8 Ghz, using MS XP Pro OS. My interests include video editing, dvd collecting, critters, and annoying my neighbors with LOUD music. I also enjoy baseball (Go, Giants!!!) and football (Go, Forty-Niners!!!) |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| I know that extraterrestrial life exists; the only question is if their state of evolution parallels ours. For example, look at our own planet. It is teeming with life, but only homo sapiens has evolved to the point of intelligence of reasoning. Can you imagine a dog or cat or a dolphin inventing the needed equipment to search for life on another world? Seems far fetched to me! Another problem is the one of sheer distance. According to Alfred Einstein, no one can travel faster than the speed of light, and yet a round trip to the nearest star from Earth would take almost 10 years at the speed of light. Is this do-able? Not for homo sapiens, not yet anyway. A wormhole would definitely be required equipment, and so far we don't have one. Now for the dangers of contacting ET. It is likely that if intelligent ET exists, and is trying to locate other planets capable of sustaining life, and they have developed a means of travel that can bring them from their world to ours relatively quickly, they may be interested in colonization. If indeed they are that advanced, we inhabitants of Earth may find ourselves in the same position that the American Indians found themselves in 200 years ago. Although I am helping in this effort to locate ET, it is with some misgivings that I do so. I just hope that I don't wind up as some alien's snack for my trouble. |
