| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Statistically, seems very probable... but then again statistically Jedi Knights could exist so, I don't hold my breath...
Who knows how, perhaps we have done it already but are too dumb to know... Benifits? Again, who knows? Putting aside the silly stuff (Independance Day... Star Trek etc...)We may learn a vast amount from an advanced civilisation/culture, if we can communicate with them ... I mean we cant sort our own problems (Afganistan Ere etc...) without dropping large amounts of explosives... Biggest danger? Ourselves... For some reason it is in our nature to be violent towards each other (and everything else too!!) So we will probably blow it...
Beacons? All for them... but perhaps we should include the Corbormite blagg...
WHY SETI? because in the history of mankind I cannot see a more important task (other than housekeeping of Earth of course....)
Sagan was a truly great man (he would no doubt disagree) and this projects data is the real treasure of mankind, more useful than all of the gold stuck in banks etc... |
