Hi! I am a soon-to-be 20 years old Physics Student at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. That might sound dull and boring but on the other hand it is THE thing to study if you have an interest in astronomy and/or cosmology. Since you are reading this I guess that you and I share this interest!
Science aside I also enjoy reading. I like moste genres ranging from classics to science fiction but I have a bit of a hard time swallowing detective stories. I also practise the Brazilian martial-art Capoeira, an astonishingly beautyful art which I warmly recommend for anyone to try out. Capoeira has got something for everyone!

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I don't see non-existence of extra terrestrial life as a vetry probable scenario. Thus it makes very much sence for me to be aiding the search. Finding traces of a civilisation besides ours would be,or so I think, a tremendous leap towards understanding what it realy means to be human. Even if we never made contact we would forever know that WE ARE NOT ALONE and that to me is a comforting and encouraging thought!
However, eventhough I have a keen interest in astronomy and such, the thing that drew me to SETI@Home was not mainly the SETI part. What struck me was the shear beauty of the idea of using the power of the personal computers connected to the web. I have been with the project since I first heard of it, way back, because I felt this was something I had to encourage. I certainly hope we will see more applications and projects as daring and original as this one in the future!
Until then: Good Luck to us all! |
