| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I have been running SETI@home for many years now; I became involved with SETI during graduate school back in Chicago.
Partially, I let it live on my various computers because I am intrigued by the possibility of contacting life "out there." As a humanist, part of my work is to think about and define what it to be human; I suspect that any life we find outside this planet will be so different that it will give us an opportunity to see ourselves in a new way, one that might open new paths for us.
Besides, I hate to see good CPU cycles go to waste! |
