| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I run SETI to assist in the search for alien signals that may be out there. Of course, any signal we'd get would be "alien" to us, and in fact we may be getting signals now and not even know it. It takes a dedicated team of people to search the nuances of information to pick out something that just may be foreign, and then analyze it to determine the probablility of it being from something intelligent. If I can be of any help, sharing my computer's idle cycles is the least I can do - and probably all I'll ever do.
We can't assume that signals will be similar to our own, and more than likely aren't Why we use frequencies and bandwidth the way we do is political in some ways, and economical in others. So someone else would more than likely have a completly different approach to broadcasting, assuming they needed to communicate similar to how we do via radio waves.
So hopefully the people working at SETI recognize this and search for alternative methods of communication among the signals we are getting now.
