Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Extraterrestrial life exists. Count on it. Unfortunately, in a 4 dimensional way of thinking, the odds of us discovering extraterrestrial intelligence without exploration are virtually nil. However, in the extreme possibility that others are trying to make contact, we should at least be listening. The chance that sentient life exists and is trying to make contact with other civilizations is remote compared to microbiotic life existing in an extraterrestrial form. Therefore, its more likely we'll find it, and the consequences are much easier to deal with. I anticipate that Earth will discover extraterrestrial life without the aid of SETI or setiathome within the next 100 years. The ramifications of this discovery will be an increased knowledge of how the universe works, for better or for worse.
