| Personal background |
|---|
I'm a twenty year old recently graduated physicist. I have lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne (England Haway the Lads!) my whole life, and went to university here.
Whillst at university, I was involved in a european project called SSETI (Student Space Exploration and Technoligy Initiative) confusingly enough. The project was to construct a satellite using off the shelf components, getting a piggy back launch on an Arrianne 5. The Newcastle team is responsible for the on board data handling sub system.
I am currently looking for a job in the real world. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I started my degree as an astrophysicist, and certain modules led heavily into the possibilty of extra terrstrial intelligence. My own view is that our existence proves the existence of other intelligent life. In fact we would be naive to think that there wasn't other life out there.
If such life is found, I think we should attempt communication. No real danger, the distance is too vast, and a message back is unlikely in our life times
The benefits are possibly enormous, if a civilisation much advanced could send information back which would take us thousands of years to discover
At home I run the SETI program on my desktop, my laptop, and my always on webserver (Athlon XP 2000 Win XP pro, Celeron Mobile 1.8 Win XP pro, and Athlon 1GHz Redhat 7.3 respectively). They all run the software as a service. |
