Personal background
I live in Lodi, California. I am 52 1/2 years old. I am a high school Earth Science teacher. I love space, geology, meteorology, oceanography, the outdoors, and running. I am an avid Sci-Fi fan. I realize that sci-fi has become scientific fact over the last 60 years (nuclear subs from 20,0000 Leagues beneath the Sea, Apollo and Saturn space craft such as in From the Earth to the Moon and Around It, the similarities between Apollo 13 and "Marooned."), lasers, "Star-Wars" technology, and-on-and-on. I want to live the next 1,000 years to see what comes next.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
When I was young, I used to dream of going into space. I still dream of finding intelligent life among the stars. I know the odds of finding life are actually high, though the odds of visiting or being visited are almost zero. I have seen the film, "Contact," many times. I would love to listen to cosmic "noise" and maybe be the first to "catch" a new tune! I believe that intelligent signals may yet be found. We have had several supercontinents before the final break-up from Pangaea. What is to say ancient civilizations might have been erased in all those events? What is to say that many intelligent civilizations might have come and gone throughout the universe? If I were to send a signalk or listen for a signal, I would listen for the universal truths, such as numberal progressions - 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., or 2, 4, 8, 16, etc., or 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, etc.Other signals would be okay if we could get an answer to the simple ones. Why waste time on complex signals? An intelligent life form might not have enough time to slow down the "noise."
