| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Without a doubt there is life beyond our speck of a Solar System. There has to be!!! I believe there is life in our Solar System, primitive that they might be, but life nonetheless. Our Galaxy and surrounding neihbor Galaxies must be teeming with intelligent species. SETI will discover a signal of life because they are the only one's truely working at it and when that is is a very good question. I just hope we are searching the right frequencies. The benifits can range the spectrum from data sharing to a new universal understanding of our Cosmos. The dangers I think would most likely be in our own backyard, not from the 'aliens'. Human can be so brash and negatively responsive that we would be the danger to them and ourselves.
Why not transmit a becan? It can only maximize our chances of contact. The information that should be sent should be vital human stats, our bodily make-ups, pictures and details of our many cultures, achievments, our cities and where we are located in the Galaxy and where we think our Galaxy resides.
I run SETI at home because I think this is a great idea. I am currently crunching data on 2 PC's and am persuing to upgrade it to 10 PC's. My only suggestion to SETI@HOME would be this: More Marketing. This is a cool thing. It is graphically pleasing, the data-graphs fly by making you feel that you are really doing somewthing. And when you accomplish your first one that is such a feeling of accomplishment. I've only heard of SETI@home in 2 media forms. ASTRONOMY Magazine and recentlly (November) on the show Cafe Digital on the Discovery Science Channel. Get out there SETI@HOME, even more people will come!!! |
