I would like to be the one whose computer aided in finally finding and isolating signals from other intellegent life within the universe.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run Seti because I believe that finding intellegent on other worlds is just a matter of time and effort, not if.
I believe that our chances may be limited until the next communication form is discovered to replace radio waves. Earth has not been using radio or television broadcasts for long. It may well be that the prefered method of communication is only radio waves for a short time span with all intellegent intergalatic life. If this were the case then each world would only be in the radio/ tv age for a brief time which would make the chances of finding one other in the same brief span of evolution at the same moment very hard to find. It is like looking for the fossil from an exact 100 year span of evolution out of the billions of years. I still hope to help find this flickering light in the universe that matches our time of developement.
I have already donated more than a year of computer time to the project so I do not believe that it is a futile hope.
