| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Does ET exists? I think so. It's a lot of signs of their presence here, on the Earth, where we are living. In the far or nearest history of human beings. Even religions may be based on some ancient, distorted, but absolutely true events.
I do not believe in timespace restrictions preventing faster than light travels. All theories (including scientific ones) used to be refuted. Science advance (in general, not only human) is so rapid, that any civilization capable of intergallactic communication should be able to reach us in person. Light speed is only temporary barrier for us and I predict humanity in 200, maybe 300 yrs will break it.
But I'm convinced not WE, but THEM will initiate contact. Maybe they're watching us for millenia? Maybe we're paranoid and NOTHING notices us? Who knows? We can only wait and try to be as ready for possible contact, as we can afford. Because THEY can be friendly, but - if they're expansive (and they are if they reach the Earth) - they may be hostile. If we, humans, are intollerate and aggresive amongst us, how strange and unpredictable can `aliens' be?
The life teaches us reality is always more unexpected than the brightest fiction.
It's... very reasonable for us not to yell across the space - when we're not sure, what can we entice. That's the reason I do not like the idea of any `beacon transmission'. On the other hand: the space is so endless - who (or what) will detect us, if it is not already looking for us? Ha! Though mind!
Why SETI@home? If somebody wants not to be discovered - it will be not. We can only try to search for ETs so peaceful they wouldn't leave their planet/system/galaxy and expand to the space, or so powerful they need not to hide. But again: if we are not searching, we will find nothing. So better search and find then be prepared, than last in happy ignorance.
