| Personal background |
|---|
| I'm 33 year old male from Hattingen/Germany. I work as an IT-specialist for a europeanwide company. I'm happily married since 1993. I like playing computer games but as well role-playing games like AD&D or DSA. My favourite TV-series are all Star-Trek series, Küstenwache and Andromeda. I often visited Ireland on vacation, it's a breathtaking country! I have as well a few friends in Newcastle/UK. This year I visited Florence/Italy, a fascinating old town with a lot of interesting museums and a special life style. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

Yes, I'm sure the human species is not the only intelligent lifeform in this huge universe. Everybody who would think in this way would have agreed in the medieval ages to theories like earth is centre of universe. I'm not sure if we will discover the others or they will discover us or if they even contacted us. I can't imagine how this species will be like, in what they believe or how they react. I think it's as well not realistic to think they will look like us, behave like us and eat what we eat. They could be as well totally different, even more different than any SF-author could think about. We will see!
And about danger or benefits: each contact to a different culture on earth has already its own risk and goods. Will be the same with other species I think...
We sent out already some satellites which could lead other species to our system. But the universe is so large... I'm not really sure if this will help to find us. I think Earth produces much more interferences on several bandwiths; would be easier to locate it directly than an 10 year old satellite with fading out batteries...
Seti@home is a good way to combine people who believe in future. As well to combine the power of thousands of computers to calculate the datasets is a good way to use technical resources. |
