Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Having updated to the new BOINC software and still crunching numbers for SETI. Why I do that? Well I believe our next Columbus venture will be to venture of this little rock called Earth. And it would be nice to know just a tad about what to expect outthere. We might come to the end of the world and 'sail' off the edge (as was believed in the old days).
Will we find E.T ? hmm tough one there. If we are talking limitless dimenions times limitless possibilities - sure at some point there would be other life out there. (Only one way of finding out :)).
Ive been running SETI now since, early highschool. Where I got a bunch of friends interested in the 'thing'. And we crunched a few numbers, that was back in the days of Pentium133/166/200. Aka 'the Good Old Days' :)
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
