| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
In a Universe the size of ours the probability that life exists elsewhere is a certainty. Will it be intelligent, or even on a par with us. Who can tell? We are still an insignificant species confined to one rock in the vastness of space and as long as all our eggs are in that one basket there is a possibility of us being wiped out in a single castastrophic disaster.
Assuming we found other highly intelligent life, or more likely they find us. Then that opens a whole new kettle of fish. If they are significantly physically different to us then the whole 'made in Gods image' thing goes out the window. Of course if they are several millions of years advanced on us then who is to say they would even notice us?
I run Seti because I want to know if there is anything out there in our Galaxy - which in terms of the Universe is just our back yard. |
