Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I do think extraterrestrial life exists in probably a lot of different levels of intelligence. Maybe not the life we would expect it to be, like on our own world. Just watch star trek to come up with some ideas on how life and intelligence could look like. Based on the laws of physics, if they are the same in all the universe, (intelligent) life would be made of some kind of molecular structure. If it is carbon or silicon or whatever other possible chemical. It would also need some kind of solvent like water or other liquid maybe (I don't know really why it always must be a water based substance)and a kind of "fuel" like oxygen or something else to transport electrons to transfer energy. Whatever it is made of, there are a lot of different possibilities I think. And seen the amount of stars and possible planets around them there seem to be endless environments to produce life as we can think of. Also there always is a chance there are life forms we couldn't have imagined. Not even the star trek makers.
Looking for extraterrestrial life, which has developed a level of intelligence in which it can build a radio of some sort to sent out a "message" into space, which we can detect is almost impossible with this method I think. But as we don't have thought of a better way to look for it, its worth trying. You never know...
