| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Yes, but perhaps not in "intelligent" form nearby (reference to Fermi's paradox), though I hope that I'm wrong. Probably by spectral analysis of nearby planets reflected light (i.e., looking for "life" byproducts in atmosphere, looking for unusual absorbtion lines similar to those found with landsat, etc.) Not much danger due to expected method of discovery.
2. Don't think that we would have the patience to continue the decades long transmission that would be necessary.
3. Participation in a "superstats" program, have to participate in a multitude of distributed computing projects. Perhaps not a priority use for idle CPU cycles, can think of much more worthy and immediate payoff projects.
4. Ideas: Pehaps affiliate with Stanford's Folding at home and Genome at home as a sister distributed computing project. After all, you're practically next door neighbors. |
