| I was born in Kyoto, Japan. When I was 7 yrs old, I made a great leap from Japan to USA thanks to my folks.. Although I didn't quite know how far USA was from Japan at the time, land, food, and the language was quite different and foreign to me. School was different but I managed to absorbe all the day to day activities. During summer vacations, my folks took us on road trips exploring new areas here in the USA. After 10 years or so.. we must have covered all the states from Florida to Maine, from caves, mountains, oceans to those roadside attractions.. Being able to explore new areas during vacation was my favorite time of the year... Soon high school came and went.. then college.. Before I knew what happend, I had a piece of paper saying BS in Biological Science. Science.. this was it.. questions, answers, unknown... everything from why.. to how.. to.. what if. There are always something one can be perplexed about and maybe new enlightment for future minds. Today, I work in the field of entomology (mosquito research) at a University of Florida research lab in Vero Beach, Florida. In my free time.. I dabble with radio equipment as a amateur radio operator (CQ CQ CQ de KC4TWM), surf the interenet, go exploring outdoors (geocaching, hikes, caving), and relax with good food and friends. Although I look at the stars now and then, light pollution is a major problem here... maybe in the future, I will move to a place where I can see more of the sky. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I agree that extraterrestrial life exists.. There are life forms that are just being identified even now on this planet.. I can't imagine with all the space up there that there wouldn't be some sort of life out there.. Would there be benefits? Thats a two sided coin i guess.. Would the people on plante Earth be able to accept the truth about the new discovery. I would hope so.. Would we be able to communicate through the vast space to make contact and message exchanges possible? Would they be willing to talk to us as well? I hope so as well... The chances for discovering extraterrestrial-life improves only if more and more people are looking for it... SETI@home does this... more people that can run SETI@home will in turn analyze more data. More data that gets analyzed, better chances of finding that unique signal. The next data packet you're analyzing might change history... Now thats exciting. |
