| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I found out about seti@home about 3 years ago while at college. One of my fellow students mentioned to me about the project and it wasn't long before I had the client installed and the first file crunching away. as a rule I never really turned off my PC seti@home uses the computers power while im out, sleeping or at work, This along with my free internet access is pretty much the best anyone can hope for when running Seti@home (except the better processor and more memory to crunch those numbers a bit faster, but hey show dosn't!!). The second I heard about the project I thought it was a really good idea, having now over 3million computers all looking that is what I call a efficiant way of doing things and if we as a human race are going to develop more the only direction is UP!! while the search for different lifeforms on planets go we have the guys at NASA arguing about the fact is there is or not life on mars some say NO! and some say there are some microscopic creatures there (not that the hubble can zoop that much!!) I think that the search through the frequency will at least be able to help us find more worthwhile lifeforms that are about our size instead of ones that are 1 billionth of out size! I persionally bleave that there are other lifeforms out there. How can there be all that space out there and all those planets and not one other lifeform it seems almost impossible for this to be so. I think that we may be looking in the wrong place sometimes, as I think that the best chance we have of finding a decent lifeform is to look in another galaxy, although it don't hurt looking!! i have to say one thing though if we do happen to come accross a really advanced lifeform please say that they are nice to us and not hostile, otherwitse we could be in trouble with our current defences agains that sort of attack! When it comes to sending our own signal i will have to say that i think it is an excellent idea because here we are listening out for a signal from another world when we are not even sending one ourselv |
