Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Because we will never answer the question if we don't look.
2. Even if SETI never finds evidence of life elsewhere, it remains a watershed project.
3, I often wonder how "signals / unusual results" are flagged and handled. Of course, they are all false positives at this point but what is the process for evaluating anomalies in the data?
