| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Don't know if or when we'll ever discover intelligent extraterrestrial life, but there's so many possibilities of what might happen. I think their technology would fascinate me the most... is it mechanical, biological or something we never dreamed of? are they much further advanced than us? What of our technology do they consider to be of interest or obsolete? Their biology would be a close second and then their culture would be an interesting third.
I guess you could say I'm in the middle as far as how we should treat that signal. Wariness coupled with joy of finding another race. As far as sending a beacon for others to find, we've been doing that ever since we discovered radio. Of course across the vast distances it might get distorted, especially with any doppler shift, but it would still be discernible from the regular "white noise" of the universe.
I run seti@home to help stabilize my buggy OS, but originally to help the project out. I can't exactly donate funds they might want or need, but time on my computer isn't too big of a deal. I think we should never stop listening to the galaxy and universe around us, because someday shows like Stargate or Farscape might become prep courses instead of fiction. |
