| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Why run SETI at home? Why not. It's the smallest needle in the biggest hay stack ever. Earth has been sending out radio signals for just over 100 years and, I reckon, in another 100 years we will have moved onto more advanced technologies that no longer emit signals into space. So, we're looking for a 200 year slot where technology is advanced enough to create signals that seep into space over a 12 to 15 billion year period. It's a very, very small needle in a very, very big hay stack.
Why do it. Because it's a very big hay stack which improves the probability for finding that signal. Oh, and it really annoys the Religious Education teacher in school. |
