I believe we shall discover aliens in the future I know its much harped upon but the statistics do suggest its mathematically unlikely were the only semi-intelligent creatures in the universe. ;^)
If they do who knows the scientific knowledge we could share development of complex computer systems to crack those long sought after scientific theories. May be they will even help us create an edible pot noodle.... no maybe not! As for them attacking us as an actor once said "I doubt they have travelled 58 trillion miles to start a fight" theirs too many planets out there for it to be worth there while coming here to kick up a stink don’t you think!
"Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find?" Isn't it a bit late to ask that question! I would imagine some of those close solar systems out there are already receiving our transmissions bit late to turn back now!
Only complaints with seti@homme they are the lack of multi processor usage and needing extra software to download multiple "pieces" at a time. I've got a 3 ghz processor and it likes 5 seti@home pieces at a time.
I wish all the folks on Seti@Home luck in there search’s its an amazing project and something very worth while. With all that cpu time being wasted its got to be worth helping find a cure for cancer or search for ET. We can all spend a little of that wasted computer effort changing the world as we know it.
Best Regards,
Richard
