Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe there is life out there. There HAS to be! Mathematically speaking, with millions and millions of galaxies, each with millions and millions of stars, only a fool would believe that we could be alone.

I believe the first extraterrestrial life may have already been found....on Mars! Old Viking data may yet prove that we in fact discovered it 25 years ago! Stay tuned!

As for discovering the first intelligent life...who knows. Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll find " the signal " tomorrow. Maybe not for 500 years. I would of course love for it to happen in my lifetime.

I believe discovering intelligent life elsewhere other than on Earth would render religion obsolete. I think that that would be good thing as there would be one less thing for the people of this planet to argue and kill eachother over.

I'm not so sure we should advertise our presence here (I know, I know... it's too late) by deliberately blasting a big "Hello!" to the universe. My cynical side says that could be a bad thing as history has proven that less advanced species are almost always conquered by the more advanced. Of course my optimistic side says that a sufficiently advanced species would be above conquering our little planet.


I run SETI at home just because it would be cool to find out the answer to the ultimate question. Are we alone?? No, I don't think so. We can't be!
