| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| I run SETI@home for many reasons. I have plenty of spare processor time at my disposal, and it seems a waste to let that sit idle when it could be useful - SETI@home and the other BOINC projects allow me to do that - and it's an easy way for all of us non-scientists to support scientific research. Regarding life elsewhere in the universe, I believe there's some sort of life somewhere else, it just doesn't make sense that life arose on this one planet alone of all the vast universe. Whether that life is going to be intelligent, or technologically advanced, is another question entirely. And while SETI@home may never find definitive evidence of other technological civilizations, the knowledge we may derive from what the project does observe is of value itself. Besides, as many people have said, if we don't search, we'll never have the possibility of an answer! |
