Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I wholeheartedly believe that intelligent life exists somewhere in the vast expanses of space. However I do believe that due to the distance radio waves travel and the time it takes for use to record and decode them, that radio waves may not be the ultimate �lighthouse beacon.� If extraterrestrials were to communicate I�m sure it would be with much more advanced forms of interstellar communications. For a human to look into the skies and say �we are the only ones smart enough to look up and wonder� is the most ignorant statement a human can make. The fact that we can�t even look to the bottom of our own oceans with out finding something new and unusual should give us a small idea of what the heavens have to hold.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
