Personal background
Greetings everyone!

I am French, aged 19, currently studying humanities at La Sorbonne, in the very heart of Paris. I am fond of music listening and composing, reading and writing about everything that could open my mind to any new point of view of the world (though music can do that too ^-^), along with the entertainment : having fun is crucial to human life, remember that laughter might save the world one day! That's why I enjoy movies, video games, parties with friends and... and many other things that do not come in mind now, but they have an importance in my life! (like roleplaying games and computers, and netsurfing, for instance...)

Life is study, says a wise man called Kentaro Oe, and I quite agree with him. One can find the answers to his questions in studying the human knowledge, yet there are some who can do the same by looking (or listening to) a landscape, a running river, the swish in the foliage of a tree, the clouds in the sky at day, the stars in the sky at night...

>, this a kind of mantra I dayly repeat to myself!

Keep smiling (who knows, that may help people around you to feel good), and don't forget : never leave garbage anywhere else than in a bin, for it often takes more than a hundred year for your refuse to be assimilated by the Nature...
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do think there is extraterrestrial life (but none on earth, no Roswell stuff and that kind of hoax). It is even obvious. I mean, I do not have the knowledge of exobiology and astronomy that many others have, but I suppose there are a zillions and zillions and zillions of stars out there. How many are similar to our sun? A thousand billion? Then, how many own a solar system similar to ours? How many planet similar to the Earth?
I don't think we can discover a lifeform similar to the human being ; considering that amino acids are clearly the most strange things in the whole universe, and the only known factor of the setting up of life, how many possible combinations, in parallel with many evolution parameters that I am not even able to envisage, can lead to the creation of an humanoid lifeform? A few, isn't it?

A little thought : when you have guest to dinner, don't you clean your house during the afternoon? Thus, before we find E.T.'s mother earth and send a call, I suggest we clean our world and our relationships between humans, and between humans and animals, and with the Earth herself...

I suppose that mankind may encounter a lifeform soon, within the next two centuries (with the emitting of radiofrequencies, this shouldn't be very long know). But then, we may be a little bit surprised, I think.

Maybe I'm wrong : perhaps it will be longer than I thought. That is the reason why I run SETI@home. If E.T. doesn't come for my 80th birthday, at least I will have had a chance to know that, thanks to the receiving of radiofrequencies, there is an evolved civilisation, somewhere, beyond the sky (oh I like to say that!)...

A last word : it is a noble hobby to look upon the stars, eyes lost in the deep sky. But never forget the Earth under your feet. She lives under the weight of every creature, and none must rule another if we want to live long.

Do you really think we are worthy travelling to other worlds if we aren't capable of keeping our Earth safe?
