| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1) yes, but it may be so different that may be we could not see it,
or worse, not been seen by it (imagine they could be huge as we are for ants)
Benefits could be great if we could communicate but history reminds us that
most of encouters beetween people of different cultures ended in wars that
eventually ended in the destruction of the weaker.
2)It is very difficult to send anything to unknown cultures.
3)It is a dream. Even if something is found, it could come from so far that we
could never communicate. But the Seti@home project use of grid computing has
lead some other research projects to do the same. And any project gathering
people from (almost) all around the world is good. I suggest to try to associate
poor countries by giving them the computing power and the education they need.
