I am a Norwegian of twenty years of age. I am currently an IT student.
I play the cornet and I use computers a lot. I also like to dabble in
philosofi some times and advanced physics. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Is there such a thing as ET?
I believe so. I do not think that nature would create a gigantic universe and
only allow life on one single planet. But is ET on a higher level of technology than us? They could be, but we could at the same time be the race with the highest level of technology inhabiting the universe. Perhaps we are going about this in the wrong way, perhaps we should transmit instead of listen? I believe it would be in the best interests of humankind to establish contacts with other civilisations outside Earth. The possibility of trade would perhaps be endless.
But when will we discover ET?
Hard to tell, very hard to tell indeed. The SETI project assumes that there are civilisations more advanced than ours and that they are trying to contact us. I believe that if there are more advanced civilisations, then they are indeed trying to contact us, but we may very well the the most advanced civilisation in the Universe, and in that case we should be trying to contact them.
If there are other more advanced civilisations, why haven't they contacted us already?
For those of you that have watched Star Trek, remember the Prime Directive. We as an civilisation may not yet be ready to meet an technologically advanced civilisation.
I believe that we should search for ET, it should be one of humankinds most important tasks. The spirit and cooperation of SETI@home is one good way of doing this. We should also send a beacon for others to listen to. They may just be waiting for us to "make that call". |
