Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think SETI is a wise thing. I beleive that we would be foolish to believe that in the vastness of space, we are the only living intellegence. or to believe we are the highest order of intelligence. I also think it would be unwise of us to simply broadcast our exisitance, but to instead search for others out there...
I run SETI@home because I believe in searching for other beings. and because this is a simple way to utilize under used computing resources to help in the search.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
