Personal background
Seventeen years old and going to school. I live in Holland I think of myself as just a normal boy who could live next door, but you never noticed :-). I'm going for my last year this year and after that I'll probaply go studying electronics.
My hobbies? Playing chess, sporting (as well as looking at it), computers and zo on. Nothing really interesting :-)
Since I saw some pictures from the Hubble-telescope in a magazine, I got interesting in space-related stuff. I often watch Discoverychannel read anything interesting I find. My computerwallpapers are mostly pictures of planets, often from the NASA-site :-)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I'm 100% sure extraterrestial life exist, somewhere out there. Our universe is huge (that's why it's called space :-), so there must me life somewhere. Whether it's intelligent or not, I don't know. Life on another planet did certainly not come in existence at the same time as life did on earth. So ET will be either be not intelligent (like bacteria) or far more intelligent than we are, maybe even so far evolved, we don't even know they're here (see "Men In Black" :-).
Since the size of the universe and the size of bacteria, it's most unlikely that we'll ever find them soon. And we'll only find (far more) intelligent life if they want us to find them.
That's why I do SETI@home; if ET want's us to find him, we should find him. But I don't think we'll ever find him, because he isn't here: why would ET look at a bunch of creatures destroying themselves? ;-)
