| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I am sure life exists elsewhere in our galaxy,there's too much going on out there for it to be just us in it, God knows when or how we'll discover it perhaps they'll discover us first,or maybe there is life but we're the first and most advanced form.if we're not alone be we the visitors or the visited when contact is made the sharing of technological and cultural knowledge would i think be the greatest benefit. the dangers are many also, infection,invasion or even mass immigration to or from earth.
A beacon is a good idea in principle but a very dangerous one at our level of development, i'm not sure we're equiped technologically and culturally to defend or negotiate on an interstellar level.But knowing they're there would be amazing.
I run SETI@home to do my small part to find intelligent life like all involved i suppose,and through a certain guilt....I started SETI@home back in the 90's but had an early celeron based computer, hanging and crashes were too much to bear and i uninstalled it sorry!!!I now have a fast P4 so am making up for lost time.Seti@home is an amazing project and even if it fails which i doubt, has served to unite people from the world over in a common goal, my only concearn is that we are the first advenced species and no sigals exist yet for us to hear,or that others use different communication methods to which we can detect with current technology.
