Hi! I´m Johnny_V, I'm 19 years old, student, and one of the more than 6 billion in-habitants that live in this tiny, fragile and beautiful "sand grain" of our humongous universe, planet Earth!
I currently live in Portugal, a small country in south-western Europe on the northern hemisphere of our planet. Quite beautiful! It was from here that portuguese gave the world "new" worlds many centuries ago! Just because they believed that "out there in the ocean" there was something more than what they knew at the time, taking many chances and facing many dangers.
Just like SETI today, well, except for the "dangers", and currently "sailing" on a more vast "ocean", the universe!
Anyway, my hobbies are, at the moment, spend much of my time studying (hey! gotta work hard if you want to be someone), and of course, "surfing" the web!
I take seti@home on a very serious atitude, a think that this project will, eventually, be responsible for the biggest discovery of all mankind, life on other planets.
And as I want to be the one who discovers that, here I am, analysing work unit after work unit, searching for little green men! (hehehe)
I hope that sometime, hopefully during my brief existence on this planet, I can see other life forms, of any kind, just to make sure that our existence means something on the complicated clock-work of our vast universe! |

Of course extra-terrestrial life exists! Why do I say this? You just need to contemplate the universe, preferably at night, to see that it is huge, bigger then the biggest thing our mind can conceive!
I will give you a "stupid", but true, proof that we cannot say that we are alone in the universe. We cannot just rest and wait for "aliens" to come, and only then say there is life out there! Of course that if you wait without doing anything they wont come, you have to do something, search for something!
Let me explain my reasons. If you, after waiting for the "aliens" to come nothing happened, try and do the same again, but this time with lobsters.
Wait for lobsters to come and "visit" you. Did anything happened? Did the lobsters came to you all by themselves? Of course not! So that means they don't exist, right? WRONG! They exist! But just because someone found them! Someone WENT looking for them! Someone DID something to find them!
The same principle is applied to the SETI project. Something is being done to find something unknown!
Concerning if we should send a "beacon" or not I think that it is not necessary, we already transmit radio signals 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, since radio transmition was discovered!
What we could do, once in a while, was send the most powerfull radio signal we could make, containing not only mathmatic (the language of the universe) but also information about our planet and where it is located, and send that signal towards a certain area of the universe. An area where we suspect of something, or send it towards "alien" planets, or "alien" solar systems, recently discovered on remote parts of the universe!
A shot in the dark? Maybe, but the chances are far more superior then sending signals randomly!
I run seti@home because i am a believer, and I want to help SETI's project in anyway I can!
Who knows, maybe I will be the one that finds "little green men"! (hehehe)
Suggestions? Just one! Spread the word to the rest of the world, say that SETI exists, anyone can help! |
