| Personal background |
|---|
I'm a 52 year old German living and working in Hong Kong, often also in China.
I like, among others, maths, distributed computing, SETI and golf. My dream is to hit an incoming spaceship (they might actually be very small) with my best golf shot, to make my world perfect.
Normally, when I'm not phantazising about golf, I am engaged in new technologies, mainly on the power side. While working on different technologies, my dream is to help creating bionic power stations, maybe even for home use, by the combination of quasi-photolytic processes with fuel cells. Wouldn't that be something ...
I don't really believe we can make contact to anyone or anything out there. You don't even understand your cat, and that's a very close relative. But there's always hope! |

I believe in distributional computing. I also took part in many calculations of prime numbers, even found some (at that time) biggest ones of a certain kind.
We will probably not be able to find anything anyhow. Civilizations develop and vanish fast, as it seems, and there may be few and far apart, what makes communication quite unlikely. Also, we can only think our human ways; most people dont' even understand their wifes/husbands, not to speak of aliens. We got plenty of aliens on this planet, and haven't managed to decipher any of their languages. What gives hope is that dogs read us perfectly, and parrots speak better English than I do. So - don't try? What the heck, there may yet be a chance. And maybe thinking about it will help us to understand our co-owners on this planet better.
Suggestions: How about "pet at home"? We could scan out cat/dog/goldfish/mother in law for any signs of intelligence ... |
