| I'm a father of three, and live on a small play farm on the outskirts of Christchurch, New Zealand. Thanks to my wife, we currently have a menagerie of minature horses, goats (saanen and nubian), sheltie dogs, sheep, guinea fowl, chickens, cats, kune kune pigs, guinea pigs and a minilop rabbit. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I am sure other life exists out there in the universe. It is so hard for it not to exist. But if you look at the Drake equation and follow it through to its logical conclusion, then we must have been visited. Therefore, either we are the first to reach this technological stage, or we've been/being visited and they do not make themselves known, or space travel is even harder than we think.
It would be comforting to believe the second, but I suspect the latter may be the case.
Should we send signals out ourselves? Well, we already have been for 60-odd years, so no, I don't think there is any necessity to do something specific.
I am more interested in Seti from a shared-computing-resources point of view. Sure, it'd be nice to find a signal out there, but I think the benefits from everyone helping in such a large scale shared project like this is a wonderful achievement in itself
