| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

2006 thought
I am rather skeptical about the current SETI project theses days, what with analog signals vanishing in the next few decades, the Doppler effect, distortion of radio signals over long distance and the other odds that highly are stacked against getting a real ET signal. The whole radio frequency search is an old idea now and dreamed up back in the 60s before anyone had really experienced what it means to be digital. However, I have absolutely NO doubt in my mind that there is advanced life on other planets but i do not think we have the current technologies to communicate or detect them correctly, unless we get incredibly lucky. It would be much easier to find a needle in a haystack. You could say i run SETI \\'just in case\\', and also, i am a great supporter of the whole ethos of SETI, i love the fact people are working together on a global level and harnessing the power of technology to searching for answers to their questions. Whatever the results are from SETI i think the entire project has been more than a success from the experiences learnt even if we haven't found the l.g.m yet.
my suggestions:
Its hard to make a suggestion for this project when there are so many master brains already doing much thinking! Give me a few more years i might come up with something worthy!
