Personal background
Hi there,
names John and i'm a retired engineer and intrested in just about every thing. Living in Canada at the moment, 6 months at a time, and various parts of Europe in between times. Based in England.
Running SETI, Einstien and Rosetta. I have a reasonable number cruncher, and i'm intrested in science, so i thought it might as well be used to some advantage.
I run SETI because i dont think i'm stupid enough to think we are the only inteligent life in this universe. If there are beings out there who are at out levle then they might well be useing the hydrogen line for comunication. If they are more advanced than us, and chances are there are thousands out there, then they must be useing some other form, otherwise we should have picked something up by now.
SETI is a long long term game, and even if after 100 years we still have no tangible results, thats no reason to give up.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
why do i run SETI. Good question ? Well you may well think me a weirdo, but ive seen UFO's. Well documented ones at that. So i just know we are not the only inteligent life around this particular patch. But i might add also, if UFO;s are valid, thn why dont they contact us ?
If radio telescopes are they only way we have at present, then lets use them, something better may come along at any time.
Perhaps the realy inteligent life out there are all chatting away to each other useing photon powered carrier pigeons for all i know, but if there is life out side, then chances are they talk to each other in some form. We just have to find out the form they use.
Improvement; i havent been useing this long enough to form any opinions yet. maybe in 5 years or so i may be aware enough to make one or two. Untill then, carry on as before.
