| Personal background |
|---|
| I am schooled in electrical engineering, my field is radio electronics and I have also been involved in amateur radio and amateur astronomy. During my school years I got to study the Special and General Theory of Relativity and then mentally envisioned the universe as Einstein's explanations provided me, and my conclusion then as now is that space and time as well as mass are ever expanded in time. Hale concluded the same thing in the Expanding Universe theory. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I run SETI@home because the project needs computation space, I am not sure of the existence of life elsewhere but given the number of galaxies in the universe I would have to imagine life is possible somewhere. The question is whether or not it is possible to have life elsewhere in our galaxy? Without doing some famous math and following some theory we would have to say that the odds are 50:50 either there is or there is not. Given that there is a 50% chance there is; then we would have to do some math to determine further what the likelihood is that there is life elsewhere in the galaxy now and that it is advanced enough to have technology sending out signals that we can detect or that can detect us.
Given the data that has been recorded for years of observation on 1.4 GHz the only way we can determine sooner than later whether there is someone out there operating within this frequency range is to pool together as much PC computing power that is possible. Once the sky data has been analyzed we can then say something for or against this idea of using this approach to finding intelligent life in the universe. It is worth saying that if we do not find any signals using this approach, it no doubt will not be the only approach that we will use to look for life, since technology is telling us things such as that we can use split off photon pairs or rather complimentary pairs to produce spooky action at a distance that can travel faster than light. Perhaps advanced space fairing civilization use this spooky action at a distance with split photon pairs to communicate across a galaxy? Well if that were the case seeing we would not have one of those photons to detect them would be near impossible, but technology might come up with something that makes it possible once we learn more. If I were to design Star Trek Star Fleet communications systems I would definitely look into a way to communicate using this principle. |
