| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think one would be crazy to really believe that we are the ONLY intelligent life in the universe. The number of possibilities is overwhelming. I believe we have already been discovered and are being watched by others and contact will be made when we are truly ready. The benefits of discovery are tremendous, we could have most of our mysteries unlocked such as a cure for cancer, or interstellar space travel. The dangers are finding a technology by accident that we are not ready for.
We should be transmitting a beacon, there may be other civilizations that are at the same developmental level we are wondering if they too are alone. The information we send should be very basic and easy to decipher, more complicated messages should follow once contact has been established.
I run SETI@home because it is the one small thing I can do to help us understand why we are here and maybe where we came from. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that we are a colony race and there may be others like us. I think the project is a great idea to have millions of home pc's running the SETI software and aid in the processing of the obviously large quantities of data.
