| Personal background |

| I'm just a kid from Davis, California. I've been entertaining myself as a freelance inventor, drawing up whatever comes to mind, and ensuring it's workings through TurboCad (not the best program for it, but pretty nice I must say). Like every other kid in the world, I was entrigued by robotics, watching every moving part in every robot, fascinated by the blinking lights, and science fiction stories about them. I did not, however, know of their true capabilities, and what the term "robot" truly meant. I decided I needed more, and, after looking through Issac Asimov's theories of robotics and several other such classical science-fiction books, I came across a new book. It was entitled "Timeline" by Michael Crichton. This shifted my interests a little. Quantum theory and every peice of literature containing it became my many bibles, and Max Planck, Erwin Shrodringer, Stephen Hawkings, my many gods. Since birth, I was interested in the impossible, the vision beyond sight, the sound beyond hearing, and the world beyond our own. I have asked myself the profound questions that history, and quantum physics has left for me. I am not yet done asking questions, there are always more questions than answers, but now, I wish to answer them, and "go further into the rabbit hole". I am no "Trekkie", nor am I any sort of sci-fi addicted child, finding impetus through movies, but I am a human, aware only of what I have taught myself, and an infinitesmal amount of information I've accquired through school. What drives me is my misunderstanding of the word self-worth, and my ignorance to my part in the world. This is not just scripted writing that I have in any way prepared, this is the truth, this is my life, and my world, filled with thousands, if not, millions nearly exactly like me in one aspect or the other. Why I have given this information now, I don't know, maybe for fun- some things just can't be described through pure fact. If what is in this text hasn't helped you form an accurate description of me, then ho |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

| As I have said in the prior description, I've been interested in the impossible, and what no one sees. Most people would conclude from this information that I believe that there is indeed extraterrestrial life out there. To tell you the truth, I'm in the middle. On the one hand, what is there to prove that there is extraterrestrial life? A probability that says in some solar system it's very close to possible that there will be events occuring as they did in our Earth? That's not proof enough. While the big block of ice on Mars did prove that water was, and still is there, the question is does it exist at the moment. In the quantum world, yes, but Schrodringer's cat was to prove that there is a discrete line between the quantum world, and the every day world. Despite this fact, the other side of me says yes because there are indeed a high probability that there are conditions similar to our own on other planets, and that's all our "fact" is based on: probability. What proves the existance of anything? Our perception through senses are what we base our fact on, but it is only this that we can base fact on. To snakes who see in infrared, there is only one color: red in many different shades. What's saying that to us, the only colors we see are those in our spectrum? In my opinion, there is nothing. We only put together what our senses compose to create objects in our mind, that we think we see, touch, and hear, but their true existances is not justified. To move on to some other questions, I run SETI@home to see if I can become something. I've always wanted to actually do something that would bring recognition. In a word, I'm self-centered in a sense. Perhaps my friends do not think this way, but it's the truth as I've come to know it inside my mind. I'd like to become a part of it, become something, just as long as it brings a "thanks" or two. I think that it is a very good idea to send another beacon. The information that should be contained should pertain to perhaps our location in the univ |
