|---|
| This Distant Suns son has been an avid believer for about 65 years in the presence of many civilizations in our universe. For 23 years students have had the advantage of my expertise in the biological and physical sciences and have inherited from those experiences the excitement of seeking the unknown. I am now retired in that endeavor and am also a retired officer of the United States Air Force, having served from 1946 to 1966 in several fields including searching the skies with long-range radars and height-finders. Although the majority of our "targets" were aircraft from earth, there were a few tracks that were unusual. None,however, were definitively determined to be extraterrestrial. Exciting though! My wife and I reside in the great Redwood Coast of California and recently became great-grandparents by a grandson who is pursuing a military career in the USA. In the meantime, we both enjoy the wonderful world of cyberspace and the good things it offers. We are most excited about the new endeavors taken on by Seti@home and look forward to "keepin on crunchin>" |

As stated above, I do believe in extraterrestrials, but I do not think that if would be necessary to send them a signal. If they are technoligically advanced, they will probably send us one; will probably be able to detect the tremendous number of EM emissions that have been leaving earth for many years.
I hope that our technology will continue to advance to a point that contact will be feasible and I think that means that we will have to advance into a totally different physics than we now have, given the vast distances involved.
Although my computer is relatively slow at the time, I feel it worth crunching on because in my opinion Seti is the most amazing project I've seen in the physical sciences. I think we will be ultimately successful. I suggest we don't give up. |
