I am Matthew Davis, a thirty-something investigation manager working for London's metro system, London Underground (the tube). SETI fascinates me.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Does extraterrestrial life exist?
There's no way that the universe can spring up just one planet in one tiny solar system in a minor galaxy by chance. There's got to be something else out there.
Should humans transmit a beacon?
But of course! The information we send I think is a perfect example. Do include a telephone book and ability to update!
Why do I run SETI?
I read Carl Sagan's "Contact". The film of the book left me feeling very disappointed. Read the book and find out why I joined.
