| What can I say? I am 27 (although depending upon how I feel I sometimes feel much older or much younger), I live in London in the UK and I work at Mute Records. I love to read fantasy books of the ilk of Tolkien, which has also led me to playing RPG's. No not Rocket Propelled Grenades, Role Playing Games! I also love to mess with computers although this frequently leads me to stress when it does not work properly :) I also listen to a lot of music, after all I do work for a record company and I can honestly say that I really enjoy my job and the industry :D |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Let us think about the question for the moment, does extraterrestrial life exist? In my humble opinion the answer is an un-equivocal yes.
Okay so what proof is there of life on other plantes? As far as I know there isn't any, I am not including sightings of UFO's, abduction stories and other "evidence" in this. Why not? Well frankly I am not sure I consider them to be evidence. Sure there have been a lot of these stories over the years but they never act like hard evidence, they always seem to detract from the argument for there being life out there. I am not saying I don't believe them but it is hard to believe them at the same time.
To think that there is no life out there in the wide and expansive cosmos, is so arrogant and stupid that it actually gets me rather annoyed :) Take our galaxy for example, we might not be one of the larger galaxies but it still contains around 1 billion stars. That is a lot of stars! Anyway to think that we are the only form of life anywhere is just ridiculous. Okay so the mathematical odds that we even exist in the 1st place are astronomical, but I think that makes a pretty good case for life elsewhere in the universe.
You might well say that the last bit makes no sense, and you might well be right :) But if our little planet cannot support life then why, even with all the odds against it, should life not exist elsewhere?
It has been said that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth. Now if that is so (and that is a lot of stars) then consider what fraction have planets around them. Are you thinking about it? Even if it is a small fraction of the starts it is still going to be a big number, and with that the possibility of life has to exist.
Life does not have to have 2 legs, be made mostly of water and breathe oxygen. It could be nothing like we have even imagined or look like something from an episode of Star Trek (TM). To those that say there is no life out there, I say get off your high horse and stop being so closed minded. |
