Profile: Steven Heaver

Personal background
I'm 25 years old and I live in New Jersey, USA. I love computers, driving, photography, animals, and kids. I have other interests such as philosophy, history, economics, and writing.

I like keeping up with the news and I try to look at each problem and conflict from all perspectives for fairness. Not that I'm in a position to influence world events, I just like to be informed and not hold biased opinions.

Virtues that I esteem highly are forgiveness, honesty, hope, humility, kindness, compassion, and devotion.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I love the SETI project and I use the SETI@home program because it helps humanity search for intelligent life in the vastness of space.

Just some of my thoughts...

- If the nearest intelligent life is much less advanced than us, it will probably take a long time before we can find them.

- If we are similarly advanced (which is only a slim possibility considering the small chance that two isolated civilizations will be at the same technology level after thousands of years of development), then we will have to wait a long time until one of us is adept at spacetravel for us to meet.

- If the nearest intelligent life is much more advanced than us, then they will probably be the first to contact (or at least find) us.

The encounter will hopefully bring us into a new era of understanding and enlightenment, and change our perspective of our place in the universe.
