| I'm 22 years old, a philosophy graduate from the UK, and about to move out into the big wide world of work! I'm into music, film, theatre, IT and technology, and having just built new PC, I decided to do something worthwhile with that spare processing power :) |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
Purely on a balance of probabilities, the likelihood of extra-terrestrial life existing is overwhelming - up around the 99.99% mark. The universe is unfathomably huge. When one considers that we are just one planet, orbiting one star, in a galaxy of billions of stars, in a universe of billions of galaxies, the question of whether life exists elsewhere in the universe seems almost irrelevant, so high are the chances. It is really not a question of 'if' it exists, but 'when' we will discover it. I'm convinced that we will make contact with extra-terrestrial life one day, if we haven't already, and hold out some, perhaps idealistic, hopes, for a resultant Utopian, almost Star Trek-esque era of human understanding and mutual cooperation.
I'm very impressed with Seti@Home, a great idea successfully realised into a fantastic project, and one which perhaps marks the beginning of that mutual cooperation. What bigger effort can there be, than a joint human programme of several hundred million users, all working together for a common goal? |
