| Hello, my name is Cutler Collins Crowell III. I'm a 19 year old college student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I'm originally from the small and out of the way town of Fort Bragg, CA. When I'm at home I live with my mom DeeLynn, my dad Cutler Jr., my sister Liz, my brother Carter, and the cats and dog. I like to consider myself a very creative person, it's what keeps things interesting. I love creating things, and comming up with new ways of doing things. Currently, aside from going to school, I'm starting a band (I'll keep you posted), making a full length 3d animated movie (check out my website), and designing a high-pressure rotary steam engine (cool huh) all of which should keep me occupied for a long, long time. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| I think there is a very good chance that Extraterrestrial life exists somewhere in the universe. After all, if it can happen here, in this small corner of the universe, than why shouldn't it happen somewhere else? When and how humans will discover it? Hmmm... this is a tough one. I think there are way too many possibilities and probabilities to accurately say when and how we will meet, if we do. The one thing we do know is that it is unkown. It's been a popular thought that any E.T.'s that we meet will be more technologically advanced than us. I think it's just as probable that any "aliens" we meet could be our technological "inferiors." There really is no way to tell if or how we would benifit from such a meeting. There are too many different factors to take into account. The might be hostile, they might be friendly, they might not even acknowledge our existance. We might be able to learn infinitely from eachother, we might not even be able to communicate at all. There really isn't any way to guess how it will happen, we just have to wait and see. I think a earthly beacon is a great idea, as long as it's sent somewhere very very far from earth. In this case, however, I'm not sure if it would do any good. It would take so much time with our current technology and politics that by the time we got around to sending a beacon, the radio waves and such that we are constantly producing would have already reached that far. We are a very noisy planet. If there was a technologically advanced alien race, I think there's a good chance that they've already recieved earthly signals. But even so, who knows if any alien inteligence would have the ability to recognize an artificial signal, or even recieve one. Such an idea could belong only to us. I'm running SETI@home because I'm curious. If there is an alien force out there trying to contact us, I don't want to miss it because of something like too much data and not enough processing resources. I think SETI@home is a great idea, even if we discover nothing, At least we tried. |
