Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I definitely think there is life out there. I'm not too sure that we will find them until they want us too. But then again perhaps they're no smarter than we are and we will bump heads by accident. I think SETI is a very good candidate for that kind of discovery.
I run SETI because of the thought of possibly being part of a great discovery...maybe the biggest in recoreded time, maybe the first time two civilizations become known to one another..
As far as us sending a signal of our own... sure. If there are others out there, they may be doing the same thing we are - listening but not talking. It's hard to communicate when no one is speaking. Whats to say they're not in the same state of mind we are with worries about "what" we will find and will it be friendly?
What kind of signal to send is a hard choice. What to send is a toss up, We have no idea of what their culture may be like or how they actually communicate. Whatever signal we send I think they would reserve judgement of our intent simply beacause if they have enough intelligence to listen to the signal, then they can understand we can't know "what" to send to clearly communicate.
