| Personal background |
|---|
| I am a 22-year-old student in Saint Louis, MO, USA. I study mathematics and computer science at Webster University, and I tutor astronomy at a nearby community college. On the weekends, I cook at the best pizza kitchen in the city! I'm obviously interested in Astronomy. I like to think big and it doesn't get much bigger than cosmology. I'm also interested in physics, mainly theoretical stuff along the lines of hyperspace and super strings. Whenever I have a free hour, I write music with my computer, a Roland JX-305 & SP-202, hand-drums, and whatever else I can get my hands on. Aside from all that, I'm a really boring person. Oh, I also have two cats, Deago & Loki. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I first heard about SETI through the movie "Contact", which I'm sure most anyone who reads this has seen. I share in the notion of the repeated quote about the universe being "a big waste of space" if we are all alone inside it. When considering the extreme conditional requirements for life to begin on a planetary surface, I think the case goes in two directions: think about how persistantly life has evolved on our own planet over millions & millions of years, and think about other cases of extremely low success ratings (i.e. fusion).
In terms of discovering intellegent life on other planets, I think that's more likely that we will be discovered by an alien intellegnce (no, I haven't been abducted :). I think that we have to understand that we, as in the capacity of the human brain, cannot comprehend even a fraction of the really big picture. That's why I enjoy and study the sciences.
All of this is conditional, being that we're not living inside a computer program. |
