I live on the far edge of the Earth. (It's true; a few more steps and I'd fall away from this pancake!) The place is sometimes also referred to as Helsinki, Finland. While not fighting polar bears and wolves in a desperate attempt to plough my way back to my igloo waist-deep in snow, I'm studying Computer Science at Helsinki University of Technology (which, logically, is located in Espoo). I also work part-time in customer service, spending most of my time on Graham Bell's invention.
Studies and work aside, I'm interested in music, computer adventure games, movies and gathering trivia knowledge. (Did you know that it's more likely to get attacked by a cow than by a shark?) |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Carl Sagan pretty much captured my thoughts in this passage from "The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean":
"There are some hundred billion (10^11) galaxies, each with, on the average, a hundred billion stars. In all the galaxies, there are perhaps as many planets as stars, 10^11 x 10^11 = 10^22, ten billion trillion. In the face of such overpowering numbers, what is the likelihood that only one ordinary star, the Sun, is accompanied by an inhabited planet? Why should we, tucked away in some forgotten corner of the Cosmos, be so fortunate? To me, it seems far more likely that the universe is brimming over with life. But we humans do not yet know. We are just beginning our explorations. The only planet we are sure is inhabited is a tiny speck of rock and metal, shining feebly by reflected sunlight, and at this distance utterly lost." |
