| SWM, over-educated under-achiever, 38, tall, thin, smoker, social drinker, party person; sort of a male Paris Hilton, minus the trust fund and hot younger sister; likes reading, pina colodas, and taking walks in the rain; seeks extra-terrestrial intellegence for conversation, technology upgrades, possible LTR. Friends first. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I think it is a statistically untenable position to suggest that earth is the only life-supporting planet in the universe. However, the question of intelligent life, capable of and willing to communicate with us, and near enough to make such communication possible...that's a far less likely outcome.
I like how the SETI@home project uses a myriad of smaller computers to replicate the processing power of one supercomputer. In my feeble mind it's not unlike the rhetorical (and probably apocryphal) postulate about putting 100 monkeys at 100 typewriters for 100 years. Of course what I would really like to do is devote the SETI@home network of processing power to work along the line's of Jim Cowan's "The Spade of Reason"; but Los Alamos flatly refused my request and Hanford isn't returning my calls. |
