| Personal background |
| Retired from US military service. I'm currently working for a major arena in Phoenix, AZ. Amateur radio operation is a hobby. I'm running the SETI@home program after being introduced to it by another ham. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
| I'm fairly sure that life is out there somewhere else in the universe. Whether we find evidence of self-aware life using a limited, narrow band, radio search is something else, however. Most people suggest that we may find more intelligent beings, but this may not be the case. I wonder how we would be studied if ET finds us. I believe it wouldn't hurt to transmit from a beacon. I suggest using the back side of the moon to place any beacon. I run the SETI@home program simply as a matter of helping for the search as I prefer to believe we will find some evidence of intelligent life eventually. It also uses the computer's unused cpu cycles in wonderfully cooperative programs. The concept of distributed computing is an excellent idea regardless of the subject: weather prediction, chemical reactions, etc. Eventually I would like to see the SETI program expand to looking for coherent light signals in addition to more radio frequencies. |
