Personal background
I'm a 22 year old student from Hungary. I study at an economical university at the moment, but also interested in physics and astronomy. Maybe after finishing this university I will join the University of Technology Budapest (BME).
I like computer science and have many of computers at home. I even have my Commodore Amiga 500, 1200 and C-64 near :)
By the way, they are too slow for some job with SETI@home, so I use my AMD powered pc (AthlonXP 2000 ).
I heard a very interesting lecture about the astronomy and they mentioned SETI and the SETI@home project. So when I arrived home, quickly searched the web and joined to the community :)
I hope that I can help the search with my computing power.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think the extraterrestrial life exists, but I still have some doubt. Maybe because I know not so much about that topic at the moment. I hope that humans will discover it in the near future, maybe even in my life (I hope so :)) In my opinion such a big discovery would change the whole society and economic structure at the Earth. I'm a little bit federalist :) So I think humans will need a federal structure, a United Earth to start the life in space and to communicate with other species.
Our planet is transmitting many signs to space, because a technical civilization makes many "noise" while keeping contact with our satellites, etc. If there are somebody, who have high technology, and want to find us, maybe they will. By the way, we still need to search the sky with all possible methods, to speed up the process of exploration. We have to keep searching in optical and radio range.
I run SETI@home because I'd like to help the exploration, and I belive that the scientist know what they are doing.
