| Personal background |
|---|
My name is Brian, I'm 33 years old, and I'm dialing in from Houston, Tx. I'm currently working on a BS in Chemistry at LoneStar college and the University of Houston. From my point of view, science offers us an opportunity to understand what we are, who we are, and where we as individuals, and as a species, fit into this amazing universe that surrounds us.
I'm excited over the opportunity to contribute to the massive world wide effort to find proof of life (in this case intelligent life) outside of earth. I believe the most practical benefit of this discovery would be to further widen our collective perspectives. Any life we find, in all likelihood, would be extinct by the time the radio waves make it to our telescopic receivers. However, to know, for certain, that we are not the sole intelligent life form in the universe would force us to re-evaluate various precepts that hinder us from forming more open minded perspectives in all branches of science. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I decided to run SETI@home as a way of donating my unused computer resources to a worthy cause that might end up making one of the most significant discovery in human history: Intelligent life outside of earth.
I think the SETI@home project is a fantastic idea in at least two key ways. First, if allows anyone with a computer and an internet connection to make a contribution to science. Secondly, it allows researchers access to vast computing power that otherwise is only available in expensive and limited access super computers. |
