Hi everyone!
I live in the UK and am 16 years old. I love computers and have a very tasty one at home but becuase of a useless graphics card it more or less restricted to card games (not that my mum or dad is complaining). I hence installed SETI. I hope to be a computer engineer when im older and really looks forward to the 64 BIT processors coming out soon because they could complete SETI units really fast. I think the new Microsoft supercomputer should be studying this instead of simulation nuclear explosions, I mean, what is the point of that? If a bomb does go off, whos gonna be around to say "Hey, there was less energy released than expected!" |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I am a devout atheist (does that make sense?). Hence I do not belive in God and rather in science. It was science that created man and so I think it could have at least started creating life elsewhere. Bacteria from earth can live on other planets in the universe if the environments aren't too bad. Other 'hostile' planets are only relatively hostile. We can't live there but we only live here as a result of evolution and if we were to live on Mercury, we would find Earth way too cold. We evolved as a result of water. Other life like ours might come from the presence of water, but why water? Any other substance might be life developing.
If you hadn't guessed already, I believe in Aliens. I think Aliens will find us first rather than us them. If they are at a similar technological level to us, they will make contact and we will be 'allies' due to the lack of reason to destroy us. We will not be targeted by unimaginably advanced species because it would be like us walking to the antarctic and analysing bacteria; pointless. Humans will not make contact because our technology is bad, we still burn fossil fuels! When we advance in a few hundred years, we can explore a bit more.
I run SETI@Home because as a human (alien to some), it is the ONLY way I can search for aliens effectively. The project should be funded by the governments.
As a suggestion, it might be novel to create, test and search for more advance methods of communications like lasers.
I would say 'Keep up the good work, guys!', but it is US who is actually doing the work! Just keep the data coming! |
