Profile: Adrian Walsh

Personal background
INTP personality type, demi sexual humanist that relates better to animals than people but with a dry sense of humour. Non smoker, hates football and getting drunk but loves travel, food and interesting conversations.

I am a single dad of 3 and have had to watch a fair amount of "family" films, though some of my personal favourite movies of all time include "The skin I live in", "Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai", "Eve", "Apocalypto", "The matrix"

Black belt in Soduku. I have had the time to work out my own ideas on the beginnings of the universe, time and space and I agree and don't agree with the theories of Schrodinger, but after 80 years, I think his cat is dead. I have a high degree of empathy and a poor sense of track of time and I think my inner me is still early 30's, but I guess that is really the same for everyone apart from those under 30. I actually like ballet, watching not doing, like chatting over a coffee somewhere comfy, cinema, night time on a summer night with no clouds, the smell of new rain on hot pavement, fresh cut grass and strawberries.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Earth is a spec in a spec, with billions of other probabilities out there for life (but maybe not as we know it Jim!). The fact that Oxygen and Carbon were prolific on earth meant that we evolved as oxygen breathing life entities, even though Oxygen is highly corrosive. Other galaxies may have evolved life forms from other chemicals which we may assume would be impossible to support life.

The universe is massive, and way too big to pedal across, but just because you can't visit somewhere does not mean that there is no life there.

I fully believe that there are millions of other life forms out there, mostly small bacteria type life, but also other intelligent life, stuck on their own little Island of space, with naught but a metaphoric bicycle to get around on.
I don't believe we will ever be visited by other life forms, as Earth is not exactly on the Highway of space, but I do believe that there are echoes of life forms out there, just as there are now echoes of our own life forms spreading out to the unknown reaches of distant galaxies, and sometime, somewhere a click of the pedals might just be heard.
