Hi, I'm Mac Saxe from Scotland, UK.
I'm 43, an ex-architect, turned precious metals investor and I help run a precious metals directory - which is both an occupation and one of my key interests.
My other big interest is of course alien life - the science of it.
I've always been fascinated with SETI and extra terrestrials in general, ever since my school physics teacher explained that if alien life didn't exist - then we couldn't exist.
(He used a mathematical argument - the universe is nearing infinity and therefore the life in the universe must also be nearing infinity, as a finite number over an infinite number would be zero... OK, not strictly correct, but it got us thinking!)
Now I've got the good fortune to live in the middle of rural Scotland and have completely clear skies - on a moonless night the number of visible stars is staggering. Aliens can't not exist.
I discovered SETI@home a few days ago and have been running it on my home and office computers since. My daughter (6) is also hooked and is convinced we'll find an alien... Going to install BOINC on all our company computers next week. |

I only discovered SETI@home a few days ago (17th August 2014) and think it's a genius program.
The fact we can help SETI using computers during periods of redundancy is so exciting, that we can be a small part in a scientific hunt for off-earth life.
I'd suggest it somehow be advertised more - like I say I've always been interested in extra terrestrial life, but have only just discovered the project.
Apart from running the software, I think I'll set up a local group for East Lothian and build a page for it on our company server... watch this space. |
