| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
| Extraterrestrial life has to exist, because statistically, they have to. With the millions of inhabitable worlds, the miracle of life is bound to happen, especially on planets that are Earth-like. Humans will come across it perhaps by accident, or maybe by monitering radio broadcasts of some kind. If we happen across a life form much like our own, carbon based bipeds with a similar body chemistry, then the liklihood of disease is a major factor. But on a nonlethal note, I think that the biggest danger is communication problems. Chances are though, that we may have a means, through the use of computers of establishing a common language. (Well... we will find out once and for all whether mathematics is in fact the universal language.) The benefits are innumerable. Technology, knowledge, interaction, travel, and etc... I run SETI@home to make a contribution. If we come across an artificial radio signal, and it was someones personal computer that did it, it would be one of the greatest feelings to have been a part of the massive project to incorporate some of the peoples of Earth to undertake such a pursuit. |
