Personal background
I am 33 and i live in Surrey south and west of London. I am self-employed as a sole trader and have traded many things! I enjoy the internet although i have only been online for a few months as i write these words. I am an avid reader, enjoying all the sciences and sci-fi / fantasy. My machine has just finished crunching the first data unit since downloading the software and it took just over 8 hours, how long i wonder would it have taken with pencil and paper? :-)
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Communication is mankinds greatest achievment. Without it progress would be impossible, the discoveries of one generation evaporating as entropy dispersed its atoms. And it is the driving need to know what and why that has forged our march through discovery after discovery. So what greater challenge can there be, than the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence? I am certain that all here agree that we are not, cannot be alone in this galaxy, let alone universe, for why else would we be looking? It is a small enough thing that i do in taking part and yet, perhaps, nothing that i ever do will have more far reaching consequences. The search must continue.
