| Personal background |
|---|
Robot Daneel Olivaw comes from the mind of the greatest Sci-Fi writer of our time (and anyone else's!): Isaac Asimov (dead, alas). This character basically oversees the evolution of humanity over a span of some 50,000 years by using psychohistory to predict the future; isn't that what every scientist aspires to?
But my real name is Patrick. I waste my time with women (one actually, my dearest), computers and books. I'm currently studying pure and applied sciences in Montreal, Canada, to (hopefully) become some physics genius. I've developped many webpages over the years (quite impopular and boring ones), as well as a few short-stories (none published). |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Humanity is and has to be the only intelligent life in the Milky Way (presently). Even though chances are that intelligent life is a must in the evolutionnary process; intelligence is unstable because of it's inevitable hyper-competitiveness (religious, political, economical or otherwise). Therefore, intelligence self-destructs.
Two civilizations cannot be synched in time in the same one hundred billion stars.
But who cares, SETI is cool, and the concept of linking together 3 million computers for the same task is an incredible idea of immense proportions and deep meaning. Unity for one purpose, whatever that purpose may be, is a laudable thing.
Furthermore, I may be wrong; maybe Vulcans and Antedeans are already meeting above our skies! |
