Personal background
I like sitting in front of my PC viewing the screen in a nasty way and hoping to find the answer to any question, having the broad feeling that 42 is just the beginning of something we all don't know yet.

Maybe I'm reading too much science fiction, but isn't that what we're living for?

I don't mean reading, I mean science fiction. Hopefully, some day the fiction becomes science and the universe becomes smaller.

Someday, anyway, the world will be disrupted for an intergalactic ring road, and someone will be sitting in an restaurant at the end of the universe and be laughing at all this.

If anything was right, something would be wrong.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I'm running Seti@home because I think there must be something out there, regarding the vast amount of stars and therewith planetary systems and planets in the universe.


Having a look at how different humans think about life and how many different ways there are to get a solution to anything, and based on the fact that most our knowledge is based on only a few people's theories, I think that extraterrestrians might think completely different about anything, and especially how to communicate. - Can we be 100% sure that electromagnetic waves are the one and only communication method?


Although the Seti@home approach sounds logical to us, maybe it sounds completely nuts to those we're searching for.


I believe that humans (including myself) think that all intelligent species, even those we don't know of, think the same logic as we do. I think that's very arrogant, but I although think that we can't do better at the moment and hopefully, it's just a question of evolution and research until we know better.


Do extraterrestrians really try to get into contact with us? If so, do they already know about us? Maybe, they have an own Seti@home network waiting for a message from us? If they know about us, I'm pretty sure they are intelligent enough not to get into contact with us...


But our curiosity is unbeatable, our resources and intelligence are limited and so we have to take the best approach we have, and to my opinion, that's Seti@home in it's current form.
