I am an university student that lives in Toronto, Canada. I have an interest in space, science and archaeology.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1.I fully believe that ET is out there. The mathematics is just to convincing. I think that we might detect life at some point. I hope that the aliens will be motivated to share information. I hope a exchange of culture is possible.
2.I think we should broadcast a beacon that conveys are multi cultural identity.
3.I have a computer that is rather underutilized so I do seti so I can use its power for something meaningful. I have converted other people into using their computers processors as well and we compete on who can complete a data unit faster.
One suggestion in more graphics or pictures or maps conveying where people are getting information from. If it is a star have a picture available to be seen.
