Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Why do you run SETI@home?
I love the idea that I can use my computer to help find intelligent life outside our solar system.
What are your views about the project?
First, knowing how old the universe is, I might be inclined to beleive there is 'intelligent or advanced' life out there. Wheather or not they developed eons before us isnt very likely based upon our own solar systems history.
I 100% belive that 'life' is VERY common in the universe. Not sure how common once you get above the single cell tho.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
