| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I've read enough Science Fiction and Fantasy novels to embrace the idea that the odds are that there is some form of life out there somewhere, and even if we deem a planet 'inhospitable,' it may be perfect for someone else. My favorite theory is that it is possible that there could have evolved a life form that is not visible under our light spectrum, and is therefore invisible to us. But radio waves or some other electromagnetic wave bounces off of them. Think about that next time your radio gets fuzzy for no reason... I think scanning the skies is a good attempt until we get the resources to go visiting star systems. The odds are not good that a random message sent from a random source in a random direction on a beam the width of a pencil will hit a specific telescope at a specific time, but it's the best we can do at this time. |
