| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Is there life elsewhere? Heck YES! Will we discover it and when? Well, if we don't kill each other off first, yes we will discover it. Will it be through SETI@home? Who's to say. At least it is a good attempt.
I must say that in my opinion, sentient extraterrestrial life is probably so different that we may not even recognise it. Imagine if you will, a cloud of gas and dust a dozen light years long that is self aware. Or maybe a colony of small ant-like creatures working together to form a sentient being. I think that once we get out of our little corner of the Milky Way, life is going to be very strange.
Should we send a beacon? Absolutely! Those at the same technological level as us would be incapable of harming the earth. Those more advanced are probably already aware of our existence.
Why do I run SETI@home? Sure, I think ET detection this way is a long shot but it would be SO COOL if my PC was the one to hear it first!
I think SETI@home is a great attempt at finding ET. As the detection technology increases so will our chances of hearing something. |
