| Personal background |
|---|
| Born in 1960 in Milano, Italy. An MD with post-graduate education in public health and disaster management, I have been overseas since the early 1990's working for the International Red Cross and the United Nations. Since the end of 2000 I am the director of a Geneva(Switzerland)-based humanitarian policy think tank. I have been an active radio amateur for nearly thirty years, with a keen interest in space communications (amateur satellites, meteroscatter, moonbounce). My biggest regret? Not having grown up to be a theoretical physicist... To make up, I read a lot of popular science, and may one day take up the on-line degree in astronomy offered by a university in Australia. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| Yes, it's a matter of simple probability: given the numbers out there ET most definitely exixts/have existed/will exist. It is even possible, as Douglas Adams wrote, that on some planet screwdrivers grow on trees... Serious - have you thought of the numbers? More stars than grains of sand on all the beaches of plane earth... Problem with finding out lies with relativity, I think. Are we in the right microscopic bubble of timespace to find somebody during our prodigiously short (in cosmological terms) lifetimes? Would really like to, no dubt about that! |
