| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Having read several profiles I agree with what I read in some of them, there is nothing new I can add to this except my own thoughts. Which are simple, if you look at the odds of the number of planets, out there, that can support life as we know it, there are billions, and I dare say, some will have life, ahead of us, at our stage, and still others behind us. And if then you add the life forms that could be different from us, say breath methane instead of oxygen, then the odds go up even more. With all that said if, by chance, we are the only ones "here" what a waste of space it would be! I also think we have had visitors to our little corner of space. I believe there have been two types of "guests" here. The ones who want to learn about us, as our scientists study the other living things in our world, and the "wild teen" for lack of a better description, Just as kids here will go look at things that they are told to stay away from, I believe we have had some "kids" come by for a visit to look at and to play with the humans. Just as kids here go to the wild places to look at and interplay with the life forms that are there. Sometimes with no harm and others with harm done, intended or not.
There questions are ask, and my thoughts continue: I have answered the first one about the existence. There are those that believe that some of the Governments of the world are in contact with "our visitors." Are they, no one can say for sure. As far as the benefits and dangers of what we could learn from other in the universe, in 1944 we split the atom, what has it done for us, a fuel supply that if used wisely could power the world, but at the same time a weapon that can be used to destroy everything as well. Any new knowledge is like a two edged sword, it has a good and a bad side. The true question should be, Are we, as a world, wise enough to use what we could learn?
And as for running SETI@home, everyone should want to be a part of something bigger than themselves, this is one chance that is open to anyone with a computer, thus everyone who joins gets a piece of the credit. |
