You can now see video from "The Great Debate - Are we Alone?", publicly held by Dan Werthimer and Geoff Marcy on April 30th at UC Berkeley. -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea. What is hard is to do it." - Jeanne-Claude |

Thanks so much for this pointer. I watched the debate. Very interesting. I also found my way courtesy of Dan's remarks to the other videos available from the Astronomy Department, bookmarked the page, subscribed to the email notifications, and became a "fan" on Facebook. SETI is responsible for so much more than just SETI@home, what with all of the other projects now using BOINC software and those in alpha and beta. I was crunching for SETI only on one machine, now I feel obligated to add another. Thanks again. http://sciencespringe.wordpress.com http://facebook.com/sciencesprings ![]() ![]() |

If you do find your way to this video, there are other really worthwhile videos from Berkeley Astronomy, at http://astro.berkeley.edu/~scroft/iya/ (2009), and at http://scienceatcal.berkeley.edu/lectures (2010). The quality of the sound is uneven. It is perfect only for The Great Debate. Also, needing to go to 2 different web pages should be unnecessary; but, there you have it. The videos are definitely worth the trouble. http://sciencespringe.wordpress.com http://facebook.com/sciencesprings ![]() ![]() |
