Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Yes i think extraterrestrial life exists.
If they are far advanced they could help us improve our life, ie medical advancments etc. World peace may happen.
Lots of people would fear them as being able to distroy our world. But I feel a more advanced race would strive to help.
Yes transmiting a beacon would be a good idea. General information about the different life forms on earth not just human.
I run SETI@home as my way of helping search for extraterrestrial life.
I like the idea and keep up the good work..
