| Personal background |
|---|
I am a robot builder with a vast interest in intelligences of all types, be they terrestrial, extra-terrestrial, carbon, sillicon, natural, artificial.
Orion Robots is a website dedicated to discussion, research and exploration of all things robotic or artificially intelligent.
One of the unique things about the website, is that although it includes many US and world wide links, it has a strong UK theme - trying to make sure the parts and any items are available in or to the UK.
I also hope they really go easy on us when they see what we are...

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I have been interested in Seti@home from day one. Now I have two power servers, I have them churning out workunits. I hope one day we really do discover ET, a benign one, far in advance of our own civilization.
I am sure ET life exists - in fact although the probabilities of us discovering it are fairly low, the probability of it being out there is fairly high - with so much of the universe, so many stars - each possibly bearing a solar system of a number of planets, and so many galaxies containing thousandsor even millions of stars - then the probability of ET gets very high.
I think the possibility is absolute - just the probabilities with have to contend with.
All it would take is a system which formed before ours, or even around the same time - where life was faster off the mark.
One interesting question I would like to put to the Seti researchers is if some one was scanning for us - do we radiate enough radio, TV and other EM to make a significant dent which could be detected from many light years away? Or would it dissipate due to refraction/diffusion caused by trace elements in the nether? |
