Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? Yes!
If so, when and how will humans discover it? I would expect it to be via radio communication by accident.
What are the possible benefits and dangers of such a discovery?
Us "Believers" would get to say "I told ya so!" But there would be lots of panic and chaos.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
