| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1.Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will humans discover it? What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?
It's very unlikely that life doesn't exist elsewhere, the universe is just too huge for it not to reproduce the right conditions elsewhere ....though I doubt we'll ever find it, that hugeness works against us as well. For certain we'll never find it unless we look for it. If we did find it imagine the new cultures, the philosophies, the new tech... the schools that would spring up just to study every thing alien, and then there would be the culture shock, how much of our history would shame us, how many of our beliefs would not hold up.
2. Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what information should we send?
I'd like to see a beacon. broadcast educational television... Literaly repeat what we want to teach ourselves.
3. Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project? Any suggestions?
Like I said if we don't look, we won't find it. Even though the odds are stacked against it, it would be so foolish not to find it for lack of looking.
