Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think extra terrastrial life exists.
How could it not?
The universe Is so much larger than the conceptual capacity of most human minds, or perhaps any mind (excepting of course the universal mind). The vantage point of the human is local and limited. To not see the limitless possibilities for life in the ungraspable vastness of space is a mental assumption and a blockage to knowing the truth. There can be a thought that is reprated that is an assumption that earth is the soverign of all life in the universe.
This strikes me as preposterous.
Looking at the perspective we have here, even with the latest advancements in telescopic technology, we see a greater vastness of time and space that broadens the view of the un touchable in ways unprecedented. But alas we can not see close enough to see life in the forms that we are familiar with.
The mystery of life is in a way "untouchable" and while the vastness emerges into our Greater and greater veiw, the mystery of life deepens. I see no difference between this universe and life.
They are one and the same. Life is every where.
You can count on it. Its forms may take many unimaginable or familiar ways.
The form of life SETI is looking for is intelligent or somewhere in the "bandwidth" or a spectrum of life that We may be able to detect, and be familiar with and share some commonality with. This would not be all life, but a narrower segment. And this is difficult because perhaps the nearest ET may be a non Radio Frequency communicator. So finding life like this, I believe, will take perhaps a vast amount of time.
I think such a discovery as confirming ET signals will only be benificial.
Perhaps it can help enlighten the world to see its self as the fragile grain of sand it is and that it is not as unique and "special " in the broader scheme of the universe, as being the only horbor of life.
Do i think that humans should transmit a beacon?
My answer would be another Question.
How will an alien decipher this message from the rest of our noise that we
