Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
Hi.
I joined SETI in it's early stages, in the Summer of 1999. At that time i was considering the chance of studying Astronomy or Astrophysics, later i ended up choosing Computer Science (better jobs). Seti@home fascinated me for being original in concept and for the amazing possibilities it unveiled. There are other distributed computing programs nowadays, but seti@home remains "the classic".
My opinion on extra-terrestrial-life (ETL) is that there must be *something* out there, otherwise it wouldn't it be a "great waste of space"? I think that one shouldn't expect to find bi-pedestrial, five-fingered, air-breathing, claudia shiffer like aliens :-) They're are likely to be very different from us in nature. Maybe there not even made of matter, why not just light? or anti-matter, or something else? |
