In Toronto Canada, sitting behind a 1.266 GHz Athlon with 512 MB of PC 133 SD RAM, a total of 82 GB of hard drive space, and an "Elsa Gladiac GeForce2 Ultra 64 MB DDR RAM" video card (2 Gigatexel, 7.4 GB/sec fill rate), sits the proud owner, Alex Huzar. Seti@home software is so unnoticeable that I actually ran it for a few months thinking I forgot to install it! It is doing good science and you don't have to worry about anything other than the fact that the screensaver occationally crashes my system.
Happy computing! |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1.(a) It is benine to firmly deny the possibility of extraterrestrial life elswhere in the universe for the conditions like the ones on earth might easily exixt somewhere else in the universe considering that the theory is that it is infinite.
(b) I beleive humans will discover aliens anytime from now to 50 000 years from now by physical confrontation while exploring space.
(c) The benefits of such a discovery are first of all comparing how biomatter evolved under different circumstances than those on Earth to better understand how we evolved and why.
2. This is not a smart thing to do because we humans are only capeable of sending data via electromagnetic spectrum. As in the case of Star Trek, subspace communication might be discovered, making interstellar communication via electromagnetic waves obsolete.
3. I run the seti@home software because it's fun and I get to test my computer's potential at number crunching. The project is doing very well overall considering the amount of time it has been in existence. My suggestions would be to gain acess to telescopes other than areceibo such as those of amateur astronomers that want to contribute somehow to the exploration of the universe. |
