| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
The idea of being able to analyse large portions of the sky in short periods of time facinated me, especially the thought of being able to participate without having to write a check.
I can't really say that I hold much stock in the idea that "we are not alone" but aside from that I really believe that there will be many other interesting uses for the results of the datat that we are crunching.
The extensiveness of the data that is being taken and analysed has the most amasing potential for new discovery as we learn about our universe.
Looking for ET is not in itself worth my computer time.
(did I type that out loud?)
As far as ET's discovery goes all I have to say is that I am a realist and that means that the odds are so slim that there is anyone else out there brodcasting or listening and even if life was quite prolific outside our solar system the universe is so vast that the chances of actually catching a rerun of my favorite martian soap, on a day when the transmitter isn't broken, are mind boggeling.
Intentiaonally brodcasting a signal would be a waist of time and extreemly redundant, since we have been bradcasting signals for over 70 years now. |
