Hi, I'm from the northern part of Norway. My favorite hobby is (taa daa...) computers. Most of my "computer-time" I spend on editing video. When I manage to rip myself away from the PC, I either go downtown to make life a misery for all the cafe owners (he he) or I run around in the mountains that surrounds my city.
I have been a SETI-dude since 1999 and could easily have made higher scores than I have, but since I have been abroad for a considerable amount of time, my computer found some opportunity to cash in some unused vacation - there it is; no SETI computing for eons...or something...
But nevertheless I have invested in a new computer. My average time has plunged from around 24 hours per block to only 8. And it is not bound to stop there :-)
Good luck to all of You, and may the aliens treat You nice! |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Q: Do you think extraterrestrial life exists? If so, when and how will humans discover it?
A: Personally I do think so. It would be a stupid waste of space if the human race were the only form of life in the universe. I do not think that humans will discover it - rather the other way round; I believe WE will be discovered by "them".
Q: Should humans transmit a beacon for others to find? If so, what information should we send?
A: Of course! We - SETI - are looking for such a beacon. Is it unlikely that some other intelligent civilisations would search in a similar way? And the most obvious signal would be a series of prime numbers - only to eliminate questions of natural or artificial origins of the signal.
Q: Why do you run SETI@home? What are your views about the project? Any suggestions?
A: Good question. I think deep inside I am a bit idealistic. I contribute as best I can in a quest that concerns the whole population of this planet. I think it is important that as many as possible joins in and do their time with this project.
And I would also recommend everybody to join the Planetary Society. By joining them You will support many important space-related projects. Projects that in the end will benefit us all.
All the best and A BIG HUG! |
