| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think that the SETI project is a worthwhile effort. With all of the stars in the night sky, I can not believe that we live on the only planet that supports life. The problem that I see is that the "other" life that is out there also needs to be technologically advanced so they can send signals into outerspace.
Therein lies the problem. The signals that we get here on earth are thousands of years old, it is possible that anything that we detect could be from a species that is long since extinct. And any signal that we send might not get seen till long after the human species dies out.
While it is a very slight chance that we will actually find anything, we'll never know if we don't look.
I also love the SETI@home aspect of this search because it really shows how distributed computing can break down an enormous task to smaller manageable items that can be handled by a wide variety of systems and O/S' I also love the fact that depending on how the software is set up, it only uses idle cycles.
