| Personal background |
|---|
| I'm 29 years old, a staggering 6ft 4", and come from the infamous town of "Portadown" in Northern Ireland. By day I work as a computer technician at a local junior high school (www.clounagh.com). By night I am a science fiction novelist (www.darrylsloan.com). Other past-times include amateur film-making and composing music. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I don't think we are alone in the universe. However, have the aliens already arrived here, or is the distance between stars too great to breach, as I've heard?
Well, whether there's any truth at all to flying saucers and alien abductions, I don't much like the view that we'll never be visited because of the vast time it would take to travel between stars, even at the speed of light. I think it's narrow-minded to measure the capabilities of a race that might be much more technologically advanced than ours. Maybe in another two hundred years we'll know that interstellar travel has nothing to do with moving at lightspeed, but some other mode of transport that 21st century minds don't have the slightest inkling about.
Astronomy is fascinating, and I think there's probably an awful lot more to be learned about space before we can say, "It can't be done."
