This can be very dangerous, as Fred Hoyle has demonstrated in his "The Black Cloud" book of 1958, the best science fiction book ever written. Real time data can kill us humans. "Demonstrated" in... science... fiction? LOL!

My Italian is better than your English. For your information I have a laurea in theoretical physics and am the author of a text covering developments in astronomy from 1875 to 1975, published in a Mondadori Biographical Dictionary, after being read and approved by astronomer Paolo Maffei. I edited also two of his books, "Al di la' della Luna" and "I mostri del cielo", both translated in English and published by MIT Press. I don't have the habit of insulting people and I shall not reply to your offenses. Tullio |

Alien hunters 'should look for artificial intelligence' A senior astronomer has said that the hunt for alien life should take into account alien "sentient machines". |

SETI's Search For Aliens In The Universe Boosted By Donations MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- An array of 42 radio telescopes seeking signs of intelligent life in the universe will continue that work after private donors raised enough money to keep them going.

This is a compilation of most of the articles related to Seti published in the Science Daily for the last four years. There were more articles from 2004 - 2009 but I didn't include them as I thought they were probably old news to most members.

SETI Article in NY Times There is a nice article about SETI in today's New York Times. It doesn't mention SETI@Home but provides some information of general interest about SETI. Maybe it will generate a few dollars as it talks about the Allen Array being in mothballs for lack of funding. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/30/science/space/seti-research-is-revived-life-out-there.html |

There was a good article a few weeks ago in the Guardian UK that focused mainly on 'citizen science' and Galaxy Zoo/Zooniverse, but it mentioned SETI in passing and included a link to SETI@home, so perhaps it will bring in further recruits. It failed to note that SETI@home started long before the Zooniverse. The article url is still active, at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/mar/18/galaxy-zoo-crowdsourcing-citizen-scientists?INTCMP=SRCH Also, a few weeks earlier, the BBC covered the launch of the new SETI live website, part of the Zooniverse, in this article: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-17199882 This article alerted me to the SETIlive website, and I've since joined. There are teething issues still, with frozen screens etc., but the user base is growing. Staring at 'noise' screens may not be for everyone. Additionally, there was a great article in the Atlantic Online back in February, which I dont see mentioned here, so I will give the url. It includes an interview with Robert Gray, author of The Elusive Wow, and discusses the famous Wow! signal/anomaly. The url is at: http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/12/02/the-wow-signal-one-mans-search-for-setis-most-tantalizing-trace-of-alien-life/253093/ This article got me interested in SETI and so to the SETI@home via BOINC. |

Ah, the seeming silence of the Universe. Just came across this article, which contains a video that presents an animated exploration of the famous and fascinating Fermi Paradox; it appeared a week ago in the Guardian UK; here is the link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/grrlscientist/2012/apr/25/1 |

I've watched the conference held by dr.Thomas Gautier of JPL on the Kepler results and the work stil going on. Very interesting but no mention either of Green Bank and SETI@home, only of the SETI Institute and the Allen Telescope Array. Tullio |
