| Greetings everyone! Just thought I'd write my profile as I've already logged 8800 hours into the system and hope to donate several more years to the cause before we've found what we're looking for. I'm currently going to school at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln and am studying political science and criminal justice. I love messing around with computers, tinkering and so on, but eventually plan on entering law enforcement after I graduate and see where that takes me with my career. Good luck and take it easy with whatever you guys do.... |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Statistically, it is highly improbable that humans are the only form of sentient life in the universe.
When we have advanced beyond the confines of our own solar system and begun traveling to the stars, it will not be long before another race catches a glympse of the human existence. Humanity today could not last long in contact with another, as we are still beings who are unsure of what we want. Our motivations, goals, aspirations are all so different from each other. What could we have to offer these beings?
I do like the concept behind SETI@home. However, I feel torn between what I know can, for most of us, be no more than a huge game. Because of the enormity of any discovery through my personal computer, I know that more than likely there would be no way I would be informed if I did discover an alien message. DNA Codes, maps to his solar system, the first 50 repeating prime numbers. These things would be swept away from my system, stored in the central computer, and I wouldn't even be notified of such. KEEP US INFORMED!!!! That's all I really want to know. |
