Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
SETI@home is a useful project. It is inconceivable that with all the millions
galaxies and millions of stars in each, that life does not exist elsewhere.
It is extremely arrogant of humans to think otherwise. I don't know if this
project will detect any intelligent signals, but it is work the effort. Such a
finding can or should have a dramatic effect on human beings in terms of waking
up to how insignificant we earthlings are in the grand scheme of things.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
