| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
1. I have a strong feeling that extraterrestrial life exists. I believe that humans will discover it when they learn how to pick intelligent information from all the background noise received from the universe. If life exists out there, it is up to humans to discover it and learn to exist with that knowledge. I believe there is more danger in not knowing than there is in knowing.
2. I believe that we are already transmitting all the necessary information into space. You could transmit a high power beacon of some sort and beam it into space. Where are you going to point it? If we locate a source. Then an attempt to make contact may be OK. In the mean time I feel that the message traffic that goes into space gives the earth a very strong fingerprint for other intelligent life to monitor. And communicate with if they so desire.
3. I run SETI@HOME because I have a strong belief in what the project is attempting to accomplish. I believe that there is life out there. And I believe that this project will ultimately make the connection. |
