HI All
Im a 28 year old radio communications engineer from Yorkshire. Got a wife and baby son (sam) who are the most important things in the world to me. So the BOINC takes second place. Only one machine running, AMD Athlon 2000+ 1.67GHz.
Into hiking, astronomy, nature in general. Also studying for a BSc in Natural Sciences with Chemistry through the Open University. |
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
There has to be other life out there, simply because there is space for it and because we exist. I dont think we will ever contact them with our current techology, but we will eventually find evidence of them. Signals take so long, that by the time we receive a message from ET, it is likely that that civilisation will have evolved, flourished and disappeared again. But contact isnt the key - the proof that we are not the only ones is.
Or in the words of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy:
"the universe: some information to help you live in it -
People: None
There are an infinite number of civilisations simply because there is an infinite number of planets. However, not every planet is inhabited. Since a finite number devided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, the population of the universe is zero, and anyone you meet is simply a figment of your imagination"
Ive no picture available, so this is my son Sam |
