SETI@home hibernation
(Message 2039209)
Posted 20 Mar 2020 by Paul Babier Post: The impression given back in 1999 was we were going to scan the heavens for radio signals that potentially could be from intelligent life. It was presented as something that would be ongoing and continue until something was found. This is mainly why I donated my computer time to this project Never was any time limit stated, nor were their diminishing returns. Many times funding was needed and many times a lack of it putting the project in Jeopardy. You just ran a fund raiser for the fall/winter. So what were we raising money for? It seems to me this is more like we have been doing this for 20 years, no closer to finding ET than when we started. Lets shut down, write a paper, and move on. |

Posted 6 Mar 2020 by Paul Babier Post: That is not good news. I have been processing Work units for over 20 years. All this time, I though the results I were sending back were being analyzed. Are you saying you've just been collecting for 20 years, decided you have more than enough data and just now are going to start analysis? I hope that is not the case. So can you not distribute the analysis? I am more than sad and disappointed, I am pissed at this news. |
