Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes, I think there is ET life and the evidence is right under our nose but we are too primative or ignorant to find it right now. There are methods of communication unknown to us that ETs use. We cannot communicate with them because it is as if we are using a string and a can. We would need to transmit faster I am sure by at least a factor of a million to even have a chance. The speed of light does not make it.
2. If we sent one it would probably be ignored.
3. Could be our best shot now. Keep going. Brain storm to tap into their communication method.
