| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I do believe that extraterrestrial life exists but can't help wondering if we might only be approaching the search in a very narrow manner.
I believe that any extraterrestrial lifeform of sufficient sentience to be understandable to us will contact us first but perhaps not by sound or radio waves.
Since light travels faster than radio waves and we can be fairly certain that the type of life we are looking for does not exist in this solar system, would this not be a better and quicker form of communication?
Of course, since we don't use light to communicate anymore (WW1 naval signals, etc), could we identify it if a communication was sent?
Should we not be trying to monitor other methods of imaginable communication?
It would be unthinkably conceited to assume life was not there, just because they don't used the type of communication method that we are looking for.
