Hi all! My name is Werner, I am 34 years old and live in the south of Germany. Two of my hobbies are computers and astronomics + related topics. So it's easy to guess how I came to Seti@home.
It would be nice to get a proof that we're not alone in the universe. Of course I think we're not. Earth is less than a small dot, just nearly nothing compared to the size of the universe. Maybe we never are able to visit or see our "neighbours", but at least maybe we can catch up a sign of them.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
