I have worked for the past thirtytwo years in the semiconductor materials manufacturing business. I grow 200mm and 300mm silicon crystals.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Anyone that does not believe that there is life on other planets has a VERY small outlook on reality. Space is just too huge for there not to be life elsewhere. Then there are those who would recognise the truth even when it hits them in the nose.
I am all for the project. I do not believe there is much chance of finding "ET". Then a small chance is better than no chance.
