| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I believe that intelligent extraterrestrial life does exist somewhere out there. It's only a matter of time before we discover it. The dangers of discovering life close to us include misunderstanding and miscommunication. They might be hostile and wish to subjugate the human race. On the other hand, they might be helpful and glad to find other intelligence species. We won't know until that day that we first meet, will we?
I believe the human race should take steps to protect itself, yet make sure we locate other species of life, as well as attempt communication. If we were to communicate with another race, that is distant from us, we should simply give them basic facts, an idea of our technological capabilities and what we're like. Simple, direct and to the point.
I've run SETI@Home for many years under various logins (due to email address changes, loss of passwords and things like that). I believe the program is very important - if not at least as important as searching for potentially hazardous asteroids, it might be more important to us as a race. We DO need to determine that we are not alone. I believe that we will make that determination, and very soon. |
