| Personal background |
|---|
James is a Sci-Fi nut from Dublin, Ireland, who programs computers during the daytime, and builds websites by night. He has build websites for science fiction clubs and conventions, as well as some of his favourite bands, and even a few commercial ventures. He currently maintains a science fiction information website at http://www.lostcarpark.com. He also gets involved in running of science fiction conventions, and was chairman of Octocon, the Irish national convention in 2000.
For some light relief, he occasionally likes to strap himself to a snowboard and throw himself down the side of a mnountain at high speed.
James is still waiting for the Internet to make him rich, but when it does, he has firm plans for a trip to the International Space Station. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
James thinks that the Universe is just too big for Earth to be the only planet containing life. However, he recognises that while life is likely to be common, intelligent life is likely to be rare, and advanced civilisations very rare indeed. He is also aware that radio waves are a very slow means of interplanetary communication, and wonders if other advanced civilisations have discovered more exotic methods such as sending messages down cosmic superstrings.
He is sure that alien life will be detected eventually, although it may be so far away that it may take thousands or millions of years to reply to the message.
James believes that humans have been sending a beacon signal for fifty years or more, but this signal has only reached a handful of solar systems. |
