| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I DEFINATELY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS LIFE OUT THERE. I SIMPLY AM NOT ARROGANT ENOUGH TO THINK THAT THERE ISN'T ANY ONE OUT THERE BUT US. IN THE INFANITE NO. OF STARS AND EVEN GREATER NO. OF PLANETS OUT THERE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT THIS IT THE ONLY PLANET THAT WOULD SPONSER LIFE. MY FEELINGS ARE THAT THE ONLY REASON THAT "THEY" HAVEN'T CONTACTED US YET IS THAT WE ARE FAR TOO PRIMATIVE A SPECIES AND "FAR" TOO WARLIKE TO BE BOTHERED WITH. NO TRULY INTELEGENT LIFEFORM WOULD GO ABOUT DESTROYING THEIR OWN SPECIES AND WORLD THE WAY WE ARE! WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO CONTACT US? GIVEN THE VAST DISTANCES THAT MUST BE CROSSED TO REACH US OR FOR US TO REACH THEM, IF THEY HAVE VISITED US, TO DO SO WOULD MEAN A FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND LEVEL OF INTELEGENCE THAT WOULD EQUATE US WITH A WORM IN THE GROUND BY OUR STANDARDS. WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO CONTACT US NOW. I'M SURE THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOME TRUE SIGNS OF INTELEGENCE. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE QUITE A WHILE TO WAIT!
OF COURSE WE "SHOULD" TRANSMIT A BEACON. I DOUBT THAT "THEY" WILL BOTHER TO ANSWER FOR THE REASONS I STATED ABOVE, BUT LIKE "CHICKEN SOUP," "COULDN'T HURT," RIGHT?
I RUN THE PROGRAM FOR THE SAME REASONS THAT YOU SHOULD TRANSMIT THE BEACON.
I'M SURE YOU ARE DOING THE BEST YOU CAN, GIVEN THE FUNDING AND MANPOWER AVAILABLE. IF YOU HAD A MODEST DISH THAT EACH OF US COULD PUT UP AND FEED BACK TO YOU AS A COLLECTIVE, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO MORE. BUT, I THINK THAT THE MORE ADVANCED FORMS OF COMMUNICATION THAT ANY TRULY ADVANCED SPACE TRAVELERS MIGHT BE USING WOULD BE FAR PAST US TO DETECT, BUT WHO KNOWS? |
