Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes I think extraterrestrial life exists. The Universe is far to vast to believe it doesn't, but due to its vastness and possible limitless space, it may be eons before we speak with another intellectual race. Should our luck prevail and we do happen to come face to face with another race, it could be quite hazardous for both species at first. We would probably have such different views on valued topics that it could start a feud or war. On the bright side however, we could share our knowledge with one another and advance both races to a far more superior level. Hence, bettering our chances of overall survival in this Universe.

2) Regardless of the problems another race may cause with our own, I think we need to know if we are indeed alone or not. A simple hello, you\\'re not alone out there would suffice.

3) I run SETI@home because I believe in furthering our understanding of the Universe and life itself. We can learn a lot about the noises our Galaxy emits, whether it is extraterrestrial or not. We may be able to trace the faint explosion of a solar system, a pulse being transmitted from a Quasar or Dwarf, or perhaps spikes emitted from an unknown Black Hole. They are all valuable to our understanding of nature.
