I am a photographer and a performance computer addict from southern Ohio, USA. I love the Caribbean, playing multi-player computer games, and squeezing every last ounce of performance out of a computer and it's operating system. When I first joined SETI@home it was 1999 and I was running an AMD K6-2 400 with 128mb of ram, and Windows 98. Now I'm running Pentium III 1gb overclocked to 1125mhz with 768mb of ram, Windows XP Professional, and a GeForce 3 64mb video card.
I believe that we are not alone in the Universe and with any luck that will be proven in my lifetime. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1) I believe that extraterrestrial life exists and I believe they are aware of our existance. If humans discover proof of extraterrestrials it will be our doing because I believe they are either afraid of us or that they feel we are not ready, or both. Why should a civilization from another world want to make contact with another species that can't even live in peace with themselves? The potential benefits or possible dangers of such contact are inconceivable at best.
2) If we were to transmit a beacon I would not suggest sending any information, but merely transmit a repeating signal (like a pulse) that would show deliberate transmission. To attempt to send a message for another civilization to try and interpret would be arrogant and presumptuous.
3) I run SETI@home because it gives me the opportunity to participate in something I believe in and I think the concept of using home PC's worldwide is brilliant.
4) I would like to see a form for user's computer specifications added to their profiles. |
