I am 22 years old, soon to be 23 (November 19th). I am currently studying to become a teacher at Odense Teachers Training Academy (Odense Lærerseminarium) in Funen, Denmark.
In my spare time I work as an interviewer at a market-analysis institute and play in a emo-grunge band called "cynical son" (http://www.cynicalson.dk/).

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I hope we're not the only form of life in the galaxy... That would get boring in about one-thousand years or so. And I hope that anyone "out there" is friendly towards our human ignorance!
I don't think that we will discover any life in the universe, not at this technological level. If we found life in the universe, it would take us forever to make contact with them, for example by sending radio signals or satellites to them. I think that intelligent life in space wÃll find us before we find them. And I'm not sure that they would classify us as "intelligent". :)
We can't hope for anything else than to be discovered by a friendly race of aliens. I'd hate to have to experience "Independece Day" first hand. :/
I think the idea of sending a beacon into space and hoping that it is found is kind of stupid. The golden plates they sent with the Voyager satellites are ok, information-wise, but I still call it a stupid. The universe is surrounding us on all sides... :D Who decides in what direction we send the beacon? Who wants to be responsible for making the decission of sending a multi-million dollar beacon into space and sending in the complete opposite direction of intelligent life?! What if it is intercepted by hostile aliens? I wouldn't want that on my resumé! :D
I run SETI@home because I think the search for intelligent life in the universe is worthwhile, even though I believe that they will find us!
If I can help, then I will. It'd be cool to have analysed the data unit that contains some sort of signal... :D |
