Personal background
Let's not be so egotistical and assume not that we are the only organic beings in the universe. Utter nonsense! Then what accounts for the the primordial matters detected, albeit via ultra powerful telescopes, in the Kuiper belt or outer Neptune region. That' just our solar system. I firmly believe that our universe has a vastly diversified collection of beings. We haven't yet reached the advances which could allow us reach our utmost intelligence potential to reach out and contact other beings.
I am 44 years old, a database developer. Mother of one. I graduated from Berkeley in 83.
I have a keen interest in astro-physics and galactic exploration. Yes, I am also a star trek fan and watch and read sci fiction all the time. One should never be ashamed of dreaming the impossible.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes. ET exists and we should stop living our lives in complete DENIAL of it. It's like saying we're the only one living in our street. It's time to come out of Plato's cave and realize that the only thing stopping us from finding our extra-terestial co-inhabitors of the universe is our egotistical nature we have developed in this Western-world of ours.
Yes. We should transmit whatever we can find to let the universe know we're here. The type of information we should send should be an intellegent yet simple curiosity evoking signal that could promote the interest of the simplest of any type of being. A patternered wave, a song, fibonocci numbers, anything that could send a sign of complex brain development message to an unknown being. Even the quantam waves produced by crystals. Anything that might have a universal signature, anything that could identify chemical matters in the form of a wave or frequency.
SETI at home is run on my desktop all the time. I have known this project since 13 years ago. A friend of mine went to work for SETI after he left his first computer job.
To improve the expanse of the project, it would be inspiring to other non-believers to have some of the data obtained from the project published in a more readable and understandable fashion. Suitable for middleschool and highschool students. Target your young audience so that when they grow up the young have already been accustomed to the idea of SETI.
