Why do you run SETI@home?
I loved the idea about being a part of SETI, and figured that about 60% of my computer's calculating power is wasted as it just runs a silly screensaver in which an image bounces across the screen. By running SETI@home, I can share my computer's power to further the search for extraterrestrial intelliengce. I figure it's the least I could do.
The SETI@home project has to be the most ingenious project I've ever heard about. As I explained above, most people's computer calculation power is wasted in idle time, when data crunching could be done to really help SETI. It is totally worthwhile, being that it could be the most monumental discovery in the history of mankind: that we are not alone in our universe.
Thoughts about SETI
I believe, without a doubt, that there are other planets with intelligence life on them. While I don't believe that life evolved on them, I have a hard time believing that God would create a single planet in the whole universe with intelligent life on it. That could be possible, but I would rather not believe it.
Discovering intelligent life on other planets, as said before, could be the most monumental discovery in the history of mankind. Not only would it help us learn about the other civilization, but it would provide a great comfort for ourselves that we need not feel lonesome, since earth would not be the sole planet in the universe with life on it. We might even discover, from the ETs, that in order to secure our survival we must stop our petty fighting between our own people.
I'm extremely dismayed though. If we are to discover life on other planets, we too must be sending out a strong enough signal to be noticed, because I figure that it's the same philosophy behind the saying "every vote counts."
