| Brad: I am a sophomore physics major at Texas A&M University. I like to play ice hockey, play ultimate frisbee, hang out with friends, and keep up to date on scientific and technological advances and current world issues. Mary is my girlfriend and is also a sophomore at TAMU. She is majoring in molecular and cell biology and runs SETI@HOME because I asked her to. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I definitely think that extraterrestrial life exists. The universe is so vast and so many things could happen that I think there must be other life in the universe. I guess it is possible that there isn't any et life, but if that's the case then it's pretty amazing that we are the only intelligent life in the universe and I think that puts a great burden of responsibility on our civilization to spread life throughout the cosmos. I don't think that we will discover any civilization that is more advanced than us anytime soon just because I don't think that they would consider us ready. I don't think that our civilization is ready for that much of a leap in technology and of the possible shift in religious attitudes. I think we would at least need to have a unified planetary government and maybe lose many of the irrational religous beliefs that we have(not that all are) before we would be considered ready. They may also have a very difficult and important problem that needs to be solved, and after not being able to solve it, may wait until we have approached the same level of technological advance and see how we approach it. We may discover a less or equally advanced civilization in the near future though.
I personally run SETI@home because I think that searching for extraterrestrial life is of the upmost importance. I think it is a great way for even the laziest of people to make their life meaningful. |
