Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
I fully expect extraterrestrial life exists, and I expect we will encounter it... if we haven't already ;) I don't see our Creator being so small as to permit only one flavor of intelligent life form in the entire cosmos.
I believe we should transmit our own "beacon." As to content, I don't know about content, but there should be sufficient information to reveal that the signal source is artificial and intelligent, and should provide a location, and an invitation to return the communication.
I run SETI on one PC at home; I certainly hope -- first -- to contribute to the overall effort, and -- second -- hope that it might be my machine that happens to capture that "Wow" encounter with another race of intelligent life, changing Mankind's view of itself forever.! |
