I've been interested in Physics and Astronomie since I was a small boy. I'm keen on science news in television and internet. By the way I developed a good understanding of natural sciences, but I'm not gifted in mathematics.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I am sure that extraterrestrial life exists, but it's propably so different form the life we know. So it will be a long, hard and difficult way to discover it and to learn to communicate with it.
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.
