| Personal background |
|---|
| I live in California, U.S.A. with my wife Angelika and our five daughters and two sons. I have always enjoyed Physiscs and Astronomy and try to pass my love of these topics on to my children. We enjoy spending time in the Sierra Mountians near where we live. I hope that during my childrens lifetime we will again try to make strides in sending people farther into space and break out of the rut of low Earth orbit shuttle missions we are in. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

9I feel that the SETI project is a great cause and feel confident that life does exist off the surface of Earth. In fact I feel there is a good chance for life in our own solar system perhaps on Mars in its frozen underground water or on Europa in its thermally heated oceans.
9Nevertheless I believe that finding life through radio telescopes is a problem. Perhaps it is the greatest problem with SETI research. To attempt to find life in this manner is not actually the search for life but the attempt to find intelligent life. If we look at the countless bacteria that live upon our planet. Then upon that add the great variety of plant and animal life, we find there is only one species (Homo sapiens) that emit radio signals of the sort we would hope to find coming our way from a extraterrestrial civilization. While life abounds on our planet technologically advancing life does not. Will this hold true throughout the universe?
9Intelligent life does exist in the universe, to see it look no further than Homo sapiens. Perhaps its time we grow up stop all the petty in fighting, realize that we may be the advanced ones in this area of the universe, and join together and venture out to see what is out there.
9I am part of SETI online because I believe that we are not the only intelligent life in the universe and it doesn't hurt to look you never know what you may find. |
