Personal background
I'm 23 years old and I have always loved SCI-FI, and Star Trek has been among the top five favorites as long as I can remember.
I can still remember the first SCI-FI book I ever read; it was RAMA by Arthur C. Clarke. And after that I couldn't get enough of space and SCI-FI. Nothing could get me away from the TV when Start Trek or Babylon 5 was on.
An now I'm member of WCT and a few other organisations with the SCI-FI spirit.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I´m convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universe.
I think it's arrogant to think that we are alone in the universe.




- Think about this;



"Imagine you are on a beach, and you bend down and pick up a hand full of sand. Think then that one grain of sand is the planet Earth and all the rest is planets and stars i the universe. Think to your self for awhile...


If it's possible that one grain, of all those billons of grains, could have life, why could not one or more have life."




Think about that next time you shake your head to the possibility of more life in the universe.




If we should have becon of our own to trasmit signals out to space?


If you don't mind me be abit paraniod the signal can be intercepted by a not so friendly neighbour. But that just me. I'm shure that risk is accepteble. So my answer is Yes. The information that we should send is the same information we placed in all probes that NASA sent up. DNA, mathematics, lingua-code and so on.




I'm runing SETI@home to ease my curiosity and to be a part, however small, in the search for life elsewhere. The project is fantastic. My only wish is that I could do more.





But enough about me. If you haven't already downloaded the SETI@Home software do it and start analysing signals......
