| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| Because the universe is very large there is a fair chance on extraterrestrial intelligence. However, I fully agree with my son Roderick at this point: It just might be that the intelligence we are searching for has already found us, but judges us being too aggressive and destructive to be trusted, and may choose not to reveal itself (see Ro's profile, same SETI class Nr. 18). Nevertheless, it’s man’s fate to investigate and explore the unknown. So I participate with great enthusiasm in this excellently conceived SETI@home project. Running SETI is also a good computer speed test: my new G5 performs 8 units a day ! |
