Profile: Jon Andersson

Personal background
My name is Jon Andersson and are living in Sweden, northern Europe.
I am a big fan of Sci-Fi and science. Work as a system-tech at a hospital in Sweden. I have always been fascinated by this inredible thing that we use to call space or universe, we think that we have discovered almost everything, but we know so little.
I like to watch the northern light in the winter and dream away, thinking to be an astronaut flying to other solar-system to discover new forms of life.
I really hope that I will live to the day when the first human lands on Mars.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
What should I say, ofcourse other intelligent life exists on other solarsystems. The universe is the biggest, and the smallest thing that exist, in the same time, and past that time and beyond. The mathematical and logical calculations says that the odds are very small that it should be intelligent life on other solarsystems. Let´s think, how long has our culture been sending radiosignals?.. Less than 100 years, and for how long time did it took for us to evolve to be able to send those signals? Well, a couple of billion years... So, 100 years of well, many years...

And what are the odds of us finding another civilization that have the same intelligence as us? Well, quite small I think.. If we should find some intelligence they would be a lot smarter than us.. I would think that they would look at us as we look at ants. We know that they do something, they don't bother us and we can't understand them quite much. We study them, but they don't have a clue that we are studying them or why we are studying them.

Anyway, because the universe is everlasting and unimaginable big, ofcourse there is other intelligent life-forms out there. Mathematical random generators always have some kind of pattern, and the more we study the universe, the more we see a pattern. (I'm talking about fractals, an yes, computers can´t still produce a really random serie of numbers, but it sure is fascinating anyway) But, I am not so sure that we will find any intelligent life forms unfortunnally, I really hope that we will, but the statistics says that the odds are very low for us to find any E.T. in our neighborhood...

Thank you SETI-project for letting regular hobby-scifi-nerds to participate in the wonderful quest to explore the universe.
