Personal background
I'm living in Assenede, a small village near Ghent, Belgium. I have a lovely wife and two lovely daughters of 9 and 3.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
ET life must certainly exist. There are so many solar systems in the whole universe that the mathematical probability of the existence of ET life approaches one hundred percent. I believe that the way SETI works is clever enough to detect ET life. The only annoyance is that there will never be an opportunity to communicate with aliens given the tremendous distances. If a solar system is (only) one lightyear away from us then it takes a full year to transmit data from site to site. Don't even think of visiting these guys, they are about 5 million times million miles away. Many, if not most, solar system are thousands of lightyears away from here... (an interesting page is http://www.glyphweb.com/esky/concepts/lightyear.html)
By the way, knowing that all people and races of this microscopic earth have never been able to live in peaceful coexistence (and probably never will), what would it become if they came in touch with aliens ... ?
But I admit I'd really love to know about their existence, that's why I'm participating at SETI.
