Profile: Josh

Personal background
Hello all. My name is Josh and I was born 12/23/81. I'm currently a student at the University of Hawaii at Hilo majoring in astronomy. After I get my bachelors, I'll move onto grad school (probably somewhere back in my home state of CA) and hopefully after that I can go work for SETI which is located (or perhaps based is a better word) only about an hours drive away from my home town. If I can't work for them, I'd like to go into the field of cosmology (not cosmETology for you outsiders), although doing what specifically I don't know. But then again, high energy particle physics is pretty cool too...so we'll see. To be continued.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Why do I run SETI@home? Because I don't think we're alone in this big place they call a universe (multiverse?). With such an unfathomably large place, how can we be alone? It just wouldn't make sense. Plus, WHEN (not if) we find e.t.i., this will have huge rammifications and effect us on a global scale, perhaps even uniting us as humans on a common ground. Then, and only then, do I think we'll be able to stop bickering about our minor differences and see the forest for the trees. Anywho, I'm off on a tangent now. Back to SETI.

Views on the project? I think it's definitely a worthwhile effort. Otherwise I wouldn't be here right now. To be able to answer the question of whether or not we're alone, is perhaps one of the greatest and most significant goals of all history.

Lastly, suggestions. Keep on truckin'. And don't listen to the opposition. They don't know what they're talkin' about.
