Hi,
I am from India (Mumbai). I am 27 year old working as a software engineer for a Software Consultancy. I read a lot on science fiction and that is what got me interested in this seti project.
When this project was launched, I did not own a computer.. (wished very much that I had one). And the day I got my computer and an Internet connection, this was the 3rd site I had visited to download the software.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

1. The possibility of us discovering and being of extraterrestrial origin are very dim with our current technological capability. But that does not mean the life might not be existing in this universe. Life might be there in many forms. Milky Way contains millions of planets which might possibily be harbouring different lives.
Unless and until we are capable of travelling to such planets, it is impossible to find out.
Benefits of discovering life outside our earth are many (just too many to be written here). One aspect being helping our understanding of life.
Danger of discovering extraterrestrial beings are very irrelevant. Only if there are any superaliens out there and they are hostile then comes the part of danger and protecting humanity.
2. Humans have already transmitted a beacon in the form of a space ship containing the description of humanity, some songs and other artifacts.
3. Even I am very enthusiast of finding life out there. But thinking practically never am sure whether superaliens do exist or we will be able to catch their communication through our radio telescopes. I am more interested in supporting this beautiful concept of SUPERCOMPUTING technology.
My views are this is a very interesting piece of technology. |
