| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
SETI@home is brilliant. An excellent example of harnessing massive resources at a comparatively small cost while involving the public in a key area of research.
1. Statistically, extraterrestreal life is almost a given. It should be noted; however, that while the existance of any extraterrestrial life is important, the only form which really matters is sentient life. The rationale behind this states that once life is proven to exist or have existed on other planets, the question of whether or not life is sustainable througout the universe is effectively answered. Once that has been established, the objective becomes clear- first contact. It's safe to assume that first contact with a 'turnip' wouldn't be very interesting. Allowing for our inability to produce the kind of power necessary to extend our race very far into space, we will probably discover sentient extraterrestrial life by building 'hyper-sensitive' equipment that will detect THEIR attempts to contact us. We should reach that level of sophistication by the year 2020.
2. Humans should send repeated beacons into space with data in the form of our most complex mathmatical equations accompanied by pictures. Math is the most likely form of communication that any extraterrestrial woul be able to interpret immediately. It is reasonable to assume that any standard verbal language would be unintelligabe to them.
3. SETI@home is awesome. |
