| I beleive there is extraterrestrial life, however I doubt we will discover it. We have to discovery how to be better space people if we are going to start communicating with extraterrestrials.
The universe is just so unimaginably huge and we are only listing to such a teany tiny itty bitty little speck of the sky. We might be being bombarded with messages right this very second, but we can only aim our "ears" to one point.
My favorite photos are of the Hubble showing the "Deep-View" pictures. Just think about those pictures. Each and every dot is an entire Galaxy. The one picture has at least 1500 galaxies! It's just unfathomable to postulate how many other extraterrestrial life forms there are if we can see that many Galaxies in such a miniscule speck of the sky.
Imaging if just each and every Galaxy only had just 1 lifeform advanced at least as much as us.
I think the Seti@Home project has truely nobel intentions. But come on, you can see the sky map of what we are listening to and analyising. Look at everything we are NOT listening to and analyising. Imagine a perfect sphere. Now imagine rays shooting out every point on the sphere, in every direction (perpindicular to the sphere). I believe Seti to be just one ray of listening, imagine all the others we are missing.
I don't think there are as many civilisations in the Universe as there are grains of sands of all the beaches of Earth. I think there are as many civilizations as there are molecules of H²O on Earth to the same power. A number which simply can't be comprehended.
Imagine all the Oceans on Earth. Now think of every molecule of H²0 as a planet, or even a solar system, or even a Galaxy.
I enjoy the project and my real goal is the hear something, but I'll be content watching my ranking get higher and higher.
