Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will humans discover it? What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?
Well, probably it exists. And it might be we discover it. I mostly share the opinion of Paul Davies expressed in "are we alone" so there is not much to say anyway, eh?
3. Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project? Any suggestions?
I dunno whether it makes any sense or not but the idea of sharing that many resources over the internet is great. By the way: What are we truely calculating? Business data? ;-)
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
