Profile: Cameron S. Farmer

Personal background
Hi, folks! My name is Cameron, I live in the REAL Northern California town of Red Bluff, am 44 years years old as of August 2006, and love science. I also love chocolate but that's a whole other story... Science and technology fascinates me, as do other mysteries in the universe (including women). Aside from my fascinations, I play guitar, am a conservationist and avid environmentalist, love the outdoors (camping, fishing, hiking, biking), and believe in the crisis of global warming (despite other less-than-informed minds to the contrary that it's not a problem at all).

Drop me a line sometime at my website...
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Even though I know that other beings have visited this world before, it doesn't hurt to have a serious effort in making an official and genuine effort to contact other civilizations. Misguided, though, thinking that there may be similar technology and culture (especially linguistically) in the universe, I keep hoping for a more changed perspective in actively searching for other lifeforms.

I keep SETI@home running on my machine because I'd like to be part of science (and possibly history) in the making when and if a civilization is contacted. Mainstream science still cannot fill a serious study on this planet where UFOs are concerned but SETI@home tries an approach that's becoming too mired in listening for certain signals and discards potential other signals that don't fit in their paradigm of reality. Reality can be distorted. Radical thinking must be taken but with a bit of scientific integrity when contacting other cultures. Who knows if another civilization has progressed beyond quantum physics while we're still struggling to put the pieces together. What if another planet's inhabitants have not developed the zero? Or maybe a form of communication is based on a entirely new set of mathematics we have no clue about?

I suggest more creative-based techniques using mathematical models to come up with at least a rudimentary communications system that another civilization MIGHT be aware of in their own past history. Clicks, beeps, pops - even our own planet has come up with rudimentary basics of communication in past and current history but we fail to recognize it as communication per se because we've forgotten it. The ancient Mayan culture had codeces that we're still trying hard to decipher!

As of 2008, quantum leaps have been made about Mayan writing which have been phenomenally helpful to their descendants who are now beginning to teach their children about their past history. I pity the Spanish conquistadores that tried to extinguish a rather complex and rich language that the Maya offer the world.
