| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
It would be very unlikely that we are the only intelligent life to have evolved and be alive now. However, most of the extra-solar plantetary systems that have been discovered so far have arrangements of gas giants very different to ours, making it unlikely that a terrestrial plant would be in an orbit suitable for life (as we know it). We still have to look.
Not too keen on a beacon, we do not know how another civilisation would react to knowing we exist, better a softly softly appoach.
I run SETI@home because: I think it is important to attempt the search for ETI just as a matter of curiosity and to be part of a very neat distributed computing project.
I would like the details of what signals are found to be displayed more clearly, eg like SETI Monitor. |
