Hi All!! I am Samir from Pune, India. I am a M.Sc. Physics student, who used to be fascinated by the unknown frontiers of Space. Though now I seem to know a lot about the outer reaches, The philosophical questions are still there.
I Love Nature & spend lots of time observing it & wondering about patterns in it that may seem inherently random. Now I AM doing some multiwavelength astronomy myself. I am also into photography, cycling etc. I am a vegetarian by choice. I am very much affected by the way most of the Human Race is treating our environment. It is as if they dont care if the next generation has anything left.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Freedom is one of my most precious possessions. So I First try myself and then advice others to respect the Freedom of our fellow Earthlings...People like Kellermann, Carl Sagan & Jill Tarter have always been an inspiration on how to follow a belief without forcing others to do so. That is also one reason why I run S@H.
I don't see any reason not to believe in ETI...though I wont bet on finding them very near US though. It will be a good stimulus for the idle brains that take for granted their position in the universe as the most superior. This attitude has only done much harm than good.
I started using S@h because i have got to know a lot about Radio Telescopes recently & i wanted to start somewhere. Now I know the details of SETI. Its amazing how even small bits of data from a single dish telescope can add up to so much that so many processors in the World cant finish crunching it!! I believe that someday we'll have multidish interferometers working on SETI too.
I run this S@H client on my machine at my institute which is a Pentium IV with a Redhat Linux 7.3 platform. I also find it an unconventional way of nonconformism & spreading the messages of freedom of resources!! Its also a kinda thrilling race of processors, if u dont seriously consider it a global collaborative effort of co-operative distributed computing to possibly find ETI!! |
