Care to explain? Reading his prior posts, he thinks we are already being visited by alien spacecraft, yet SETI@home hasn't detected anything, so logically SETI@home must be a scam, rather than the false UFOlogy he's gotten himself into. |

@everybody you lost your time here. If you indicate something and are banned for it, then suggests what you want to indicate might not be too pleasant of an indication for SETI@home. But if you withhold this indication out of fear of being banned, and you feel this indication is a valid feeling/opinion, why should you fear being banned? If you no longer believe in SETI@home's stated goals or scientific progress, why worry about staying? |

I guess humour doesn't travel well across the Atlantic. I give up on that for now.... o.O My apologies good sir. Methinks humor doesn't always translate well in text. |

Care to explain? Ah crop circles near Arecibo, maybe one of the folks from the lab got a bit bored while waiting to pick up some drives. ![]() Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. ![]() |

Waste my time, heck no. I hope any of us are successful in finding ET, but in the meantime, I have found good friends I can communicate with, and learn from. I have become aware of so many different points of view, and cultures, that it is more than worth it, even if we never find ET. In the winter, I also save a lot of oil money, as Seti helps to heat my house. I am in for the duration. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group.

The OP sent me this PM and I don't have a clue as to why. "I can't tell if your photo is a Hoax but the ground on mars is not red" I didn't post any photos of Mars.

So Seti@home is a scam because he found another site called " Open SETI initiative " Which is about finding microbes or something Maybe he hasn't seen any of the resent Doco's featuring some of the staff at Berkley . [url)http://openseti.org/Opening.shtml[/url] ![]() |

But I wove a more complex fabric, including brainwave research and information security, owning a metaphysical bookstore, and managing UC Berkeley's SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) project, known as Project SERENDIP, in the years 1978-1982. Berkeley 's present-day SETI@home is an outgrowth of that project. His website was designed for Internet Explorer 1 running on Windows 95, clearly qualified to manage SERENDIP. ![]() Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. ![]() |

If Seti is a scam, which I don't believe it is, it has kept many of us amused for over 16 years. Well worth the effort IMO. |

Thanks for your attention ! I can't understand French as a language, so I couldn't really understand the video. However, when I google Gerry Zeitlin, it appears he's just another person caught up in UFOlogy and has himself convinced of certain conclusions without absolute data. He's obviously very smart, but even smart people are prone to jumping to conclusions and drawing false inferences from text and other data. He's certainly entitled to his opinions, but don't let his past achievements automatically mean that he's an authority figure on his research and conclusions. This is where peer review tends to come in handy as it prevents a single wayward person like Gerry from dictating to science. |

Thanks for your attention ! That's the thing that stuck me, conclusions before looking at every possibility. Like someone finding a lump of iron sulphide and assuming they're rich. ![]() Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. ![]() |
