Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
Why do I run SETI@Home?
1) I'm an actively contributing member of The Planetary Society, and this is one of their projects. Running SETI@Home is one of the ways in which I help support TPS; I've been participating in the SETI@Home project for not quite since its introduction.
2) I'm fascinated by the notion of capturing and utilizing "wasted" idle computer time. Many computers spend most of their time either doing nothing, or doing nothing meaningful [like drawing pretty screensavers]. SETI@Home enables my computers to help us peer out in to the universe in their spare time. What a cool thought!
3) Maybe we'll find something interesting, a remote, remote, remote posibility granted. But we'll certainly never find anything if we never look. |
