| Personal background |
|---|
I'm a developer at iPrint Technologies, which is in Silicon Valley. Originally I'm from the Russian Far East, Kamchatka peninsula. Physics major in school, Master's in CS.
Astronomy/astrophysics is my hobby, a recent one. Before I was totally into computers. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. Life - yes, definitely exists.
I'd be surprised if we won't find any traces of it by the time when we are all over the Solar System.
Intelligent life - it's more likely to exist than not to exist. All we can operate on are
models with certain degree of error.
2. I think we are transmitting it all the time :-)
But seriously, throughout the centuries we (humankind) are consistently
failing to develop a steadily growing ability to work together. Even not to
harm each other. Propagate this model to other forms of intelligent life...
...and I'm not sure that this is a good idea to make a lot of splash yet.
Some day, if we prove that we can work together peacefully...
3.
If there is something out there, it's better to know about it, and the sooner the better.
Secondly, it helps to process emormous amount of scientific data
which can not be processed in any other way in reasonable time.
These are signals from everything out there.
I wonder if there were some interesting observations/discoveries irrelevant to ET?
And it's a rare example of overcoming the problem from point 2 at LARGE scale - I just like these projects that
make us all work together and make us think of ourselves as one.
