| Personal background |
|---|
| I am by educational background a pure mathematician, and I enjoy working on problems that are unsolved. I have always been fascinated by space, and as a child I built my own "observatory" consisting of several types of telescopes, and star charts. I enjoy also cosmological studies, including the General Theory of Relativity, and attempts at more comprehensive theories of the cosmos. I live on Long Island, New York, and currently have my own environmental remediation company. I study Isshinryu Karate, which helps to balance my otherwise mental activities. I like to listen to classical music and jazz, in particular I like Beethoven, Mozart, and Charlie Parker. I also like to camp, especially backpacking. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I think that either the universe has a dense number of intelligent species, or hardly any intelligent species, but no in between. If it's the first case, then since the universe has a wide range of stars with different ages, it seems highly likely that we have already been, or are being visited, by various alien species. My own studies of physics and cosmology have convinced me that interstellar travel is, or will become, a theoretical possibility. On the other hand, if intelligent life is limited, then it may explain why we can't seem to pick up radio broadcasts from other species, unless they don't use radio technology. Humans should definately not transmit a beacon, because we simply don't know what life forms exist in other places in the universe. We might find that there are species that are not as friendly as "E.T.". I think Seti@home is a great opportunity for someone to work on an exciting scientific project. |
