I'm a student from Germany, or rather will be a student. Right now i'm doing exactly nothing. Well jobbing here and there. Wasting or spending (whatever you like ;-P) my time in front of this computer here. Yeah, i also read a lot, luv music of all kinds, but especially house, minimal house and trance. Actually i'm interested in everything, as strange as this may sound. But there's almost nothing I didn't read a book about so far, or dealt with in any other way. Yeah, me the always curious *grin* What else is there to say. Hm...hobbies...well Apart from cooking and stuff like that, I do Karate (heh...yeah, beware!!!) and i'm sort of a hobbie Maya-scientis. Read every book about Maya i could get my hands on ;-)
Well i guess that's enough for now.
So far

Hm...IMO it would be quite daring to claim that there's no extraterrestrial life. The question is just if we ever discover in, and also if we recognize it as such. I could imagine that there are life forms we never thought would exist. Ahem...what i mean is like, so far most people are looking for worlds with something like high oxygen content and stuff like that. But does a new life-form necessarily be based on oxygen. I pretty much doubt that. Nor do i think will water always be the key to life. Oth it's kind of hard to look for something you don't yet know how it will look *grin* benefits....well if we'd
find a completly new form of life, that would certainly give your science a big boost. Ever so often we notice that our horizon is rather limited...and maybe this new life form would offer the one or other opportunity to look over the horizon - to stick with the allegory. Dangers: Well i guess there are always dangers when exploring new terreories and life forms. Like being contaminated with whatever diseases they got over there. But i pretty much doubt that we'll suceed in having direct contact with extraterrestrial life during my life time.
And i personally cannot imagine what dangers there could be with simply discovering such a form of life. Except they are waaaay ahead of us, and are evil itself, and only waited to throw their "destroy a planet with one stroke" weapons at us. But i don't believe in this Hollywood fantasies ;-)
Hm...a beacon...well i'd say if it's not too expensive to do so, why not. But wasting an awful amount of money and sending radio signals to outerspace that no1 will ever read in the next 3 million years is IMO really senseless and a waste of money. IMO we don't have the technology yet to do a fast transmission, and as long as we don't have that one, if we ever find it, there's no use sending any information to space *shrug*
Hm...why do i run seti. Well, it does not hurt me. I mean, i don't ave to sacrifice anything, so why not? If it serves a good cause? Altho i must admit that |
