Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. If extraterial life does not exists "It is a very huge waste of space".
Benefits: incalculable.
Dangers: why to think in negative manner in this type of approach?
2. Why not? I think the best signal is a mathemetic signal like the prime numbers.
But other more elaborate ideas can and may be developed.
3. I think that SETI@home is a very intelligent project and I will participate.
I suggest to study the possibility to use other tools that Arecibo. With Arecobo,
we cover a very small part of the universe.
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.
