| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

1) "Does E.T life exist?"
Well I really hope so! I will be very depressed to learn that we are the only so-called intelligent life form around! On a less sarcastic note, It will be the best way to unit mankind and make him realize that there is something beyond the accumulation of personnal wealth at any cost, that somehow, we have lost the focus on what is truly important in life: life itself.

No really, a way to tell who we really are, what are our hopes and dreams, how lonely we truly are in this universe and what is the question that all of us have in the back of our minds: Where do I come from and especially where do I go next.
3) "why do you use Seti@home?"
