| Personal background |
|---|
| I was born 27th February 1981. When I was two years old we moved to a small place called VÃ¥ler. There was no city light to disturb our eyes from looking up at the stars. I was looking up at the sky every night when I had taken care of my horse. I could be out for hours. Just looking at the heaven. Especially beautiful was the long winters. I followed the stars, and learned how they moved around. One birthday I also got a telescope from my father. Then I could see Jupiters four Galilean moons, the rings of Saturn and the change of Venus' size (its phases) and lots of nebulas. Now I have moved to Oslo to study Computer Science, and I don't see my stars anymore. But some day I might move to the country again and continue where I left. (On the picture I am visiting the Tycho Brahe planetarium, standing in front of the moons surface.) |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I saw so many stars. If they had planets too, how could it be that we were alone? That this was only one planet in the entire Universe with life forms? That would have been a selfish thought! Sometimes my life wasn't like I wanted it, and I just hoped that someone up there would come down here and take me out of this world.
This is why I decided to join SETI. It's great to have the opportunity to help finding these creatures. Hopefully they think a bit like us, so that they can send us signals we are able to understand. Since the Universe is so incredible
enormous, there will take ages before the signals to reach us, so we will have to be patient.
There are so many movies and stories about alien coming to Earth just for the pleasure of destroying. I find that hard to believe. If they are so intelligent that they have reached Earth, they must be able to understand the consequences of killing and destroying.
I think we on Earth should send the aliens signals we would expect from them. Unfortunally I am not an expert on these areas, so I don't have any suggestions. But I think we should do everything we can to be prepeared for the future. |
