MY background is in finance and IT, however, i do have an avid interest in neurobiology.
ALTHOUGH it sounds appealing to search for extraterrestrial life we must not forget that we have a quite special constellation in our galaxy, particularly in our solar system, that has allowed life to evolve on earth.
I reckon that the traditional method of figuring out "galaxies*number of stars*factor whatever it is" is not really appropriate.
IT takes much more than stars and some planets to bring forth life, specially complex life.
BUT who knows ... it would be arrogant to think that we are alone in the universe. (like a lot of these silly religions tend to pretend)
A PITY these sects (christianity, judaism, islam, hinduism, satanism and other institutionalized or non-institutionalized sects) have hindered science and development, leaving a gap of hundreds of years in which we could have come so much further. but at that barbarian tim,e worshipping stones, pumpkins, "gods" or whatever it was called like, was the only way for them to excuse ignorance.
LUCKILY, we have left this era behind us (or are leaving it now) |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

SPEAKING about msg 2 b sent out in2 space, chances r small that, even if they will b received somewhere, we will still exist by then. humanity does not seem 2 b able 2 fund projects 4 it's own survival in space once our planet won't any longer b habitable, but rather invest in wars (which in fact do not even kill people, but rather habitations, houses, roads, bridges, leaving nothing but poverty and pain, leaving us again financing the reconstruction of our own destructive behavior instead of funding scientific projects), so long as humanity is not able 2 THINK, our messages sent out will survive us 4 sure.
AT least the receiving species will then know that there WAS complex life on earth, but will probably-if they manage 2 come here-b disappointed 2 see that we domesticated primates have destroyed our own habitat, not even being able 2 escape, because of intellectual poverty that lead 2 war instead of development.
ALTHOUGH i am a pessimist, i still hope humanity will learn 2 think.
WHY do i run seti@home? - pure fun.
and there is this avid interest 2 investigate if there is complex life out there ...
STILL, we must consider that aliens would need appropriate transport media 2 travel such long distances. travel@speed of light is(we think) impossible, the only way 2 do so would b by travelling either using wormholes or strings. strings would accelerate them so fast that everything would b pulverized immediately.
a blackhole's gravity would rip them into pieces, emit them as anti-particles ...
and it seems that natural wormholes are 2 unstable 2 let anybody pass; if aliens could produce a wormhole through negative energy, they would b travelling back in time, which might induce a paradox; consequences unknown 2 us, b it anihilate their existence in the future, or just produce another (un)reality in the imaginary or real timespace. they would visit us before their messages arrive here...
ANYHOW meanwhile we keep our CPU's busy... :O) |
