Personal background |
Hi! I'm a retired electronics instrumentation engineer and still an active time/frequency nut. (I play with atomic clocks and frequency standards.) |
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
I joined SETI at Home because it allows me to participate in the search for intelligent life beyond our planet. If we detect it, I'm hoping we humans would be sufficiently shaken-up by the news that we finally learn how to get along with each other.
It's interesting to note that, as our wireless electronics communication continues to improve, we are using less and less transmitted power in ever-greater bandwidths, over shorter and shorter distances. It's quite possible that any alien civilization that explored radio communication the way we have, has, after a century of progress, ceased to transmit any powerful radio signals that we could detect. But I could be wrong. I'm sure hoping I'm wrong. |
