| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I don't think that there exists any extraterrestrial lifeform which is able to make any contact with the humans. I can imagine that there is something like "green slime" or so on other planets. Because of the huge dimensions of the Galaxy, it is nearly impossible to find any intelligent life. As we can only search by radio, a planet with dinosaurs is invisible for us, also a planet with knights or with lifeforms that have just invented the steam engine. They don't have invented the radio yet, which is the only way to say "hello" to the universe and other possible lifeforms in the Galaxy.
The fact, that we haven't made contact to extraterrestrial intelligent lifeforms is the proof for me, that they are not there at the present. Maybe there where some in the past, maybe there will be some in the future.
I think humans should transmit a beacon for others. Maybe, when it will be found – let's say in about two billion years – the other ones will see, that there once has been a planet named "Earth" somewhere in the outer part of the Galaxy, and they will know, they're not alone.
I run SETI@home to be part of one big community and to bring the work of the SETI team forward. I suppose, his project is able discover interesting stellar wonders. Many important discoveries have been done by accident, and so, I hope, the results of our work units could possibly hold interesting facts, questions and answers for scientists. |
