| Personal background |
|---|
| I currently work for the United States Air Force, monitoring compliance with worldwide nuclear treaties. I figure that I devote quite a bit of time to making sure that the world is here for future generations, so I may as well help to find others out there as well. I'm currently 27 years old, and I live in San Antonio, TX. I would say that I'm a pretty well rounded individual. I love reading and writing, both fiction and non-fiction. I study ancient history and antropology, mainly from the Sumerian/Assyrian era. I build servers and workstations for high-traffic users (i.e. bandwidth hogs, gamers) that are Overclocked and Water/Peltier cooled. I own one iguana, two savannah monitors, a gecko, three ferrets, a burmese python, and my wife is expecting. That's about all of me. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I believe that it does not matter whether life exists on other planets. What matters is the philisophical ideal that we must LOOK for life out there. Statistically, I cannot see how there isn't life out there, I just don't think that it will be on par with what we think it will be. Radio certainly seems the logical method of going about communicating.
I do think that we would also need to send information out at one point, but I do not think it to be a prudent idea at this point. We have enough problems keeping the planet in one piece, much less contending in the galactic arena with others. We, as humans, have a long way to go before that.
I would offer the idea that SETI ought to probably be looking into other wavelengths as well. I think that the Hydrogen-based bands are a good idea, but the are the primes as well. Mix it up a bit. Minimizing signal bandwidth to smaller channels would work as well. Oh, and for ideas for the future, what about setting up an inexpensive array across a couple square miles. It works with seismic arrays, and there are large radar arrays, I imaging that a radio array would be inexpensive to buy, and hell, I could maintain one. If ya'll don't, I might consider it to be a project I would be interested in trying. |
