| Howdy ! I'm a Grad. Student at Texas A&M - the best University in the World ! :) That point's open for discussion, but I won't be changing my opinion :D. Anyhoo, as for my personal thoughts on other things - Yes, I have them .... but what do I put down here, which won't bring down the wrath of the world ? Hmmm... I guess I'd like to say that the exploitation of a subject as important as Space, ET, and other such phenomena grosses me out - as in anointing Godhood, or Prophethood for that matter, upon themselves ala Ron Hubbard, and Rael. In addition, all it serves to do is make the serious ET searchers seem like a bunch of misfits .... I know, I guess we already are ... :D |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
SETI@home is an unbelievable project, the day of its inception should be declared a national holiday(I secretly hope to help future generations run out of Working days :D), on a more serious note, History seems to be repeating itself. The City-States expanded to a certain size, and then felt the need to explore what lay to the east and west, which resulted in the enriching of our cultures. If our Ancestors had been myopic enough to stay within their city walls ... well , you know where I'm going with this :) I honestly believe that we actively ought to try and see who's out there. With the sheer number of Galaxies that abound, there's bound to be at least one more planet with life(maybe not as we know it) in the sheer vastness of space.
I've always enjoyed this quote of Sagan's, which I read as a teen : "Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people."
I don't know about insignificant planet and humdrum star, but the last point always brings hope - far more galaxies than people... may the force be with SETI@home :D |
