I live, I die, and form yet another pointless existence in the space time continum of MEST* that is known as the universe. So I might as well enjoy it.
* MEST = Matter, Energy, Space & Time. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Mathematics tells us that extaterrestrial life exists, as a factual statement. (Infinate space => Infinate worlds => infinate worlds with right conditions for the development of the spritial habitation of matter (ie. LIFE), => Infinate number of other extraterrestrial species.)
Logic tells us that there is a high chance that extraterrestrial life exists, but there is also a smidgeon of a chance that it may not, and that this little corner of the universe is all that ever exists, when all possibilities are considered.
What Do *I* tell you? Well, I don't know for certain. I've always been a very logical person, but the 'get real' side of myself is always there to kick me in the backside if I ever consider that we are alone in existence.
SETI@home at this stage of the human civilisation is probably the best chance we are going to get to find any definitive proof of this existence. And because my particular skills dont involve the analysis of communication mediums such as radio waves, or communication in the absence of a fixed protocol language, im not really in a position to go about making any better tool for extraterrestiral detection.
I run a webserver that lies idle 90% of the time, and so that processing power really does goto waste. Running the SETI@home screensaver on that machine seems a worthwile venture. And if all I have to do is run a screensaver to make my smaller contribution, then that's what i'll be doing. |
