| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

"Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea."
- Douglas Adams
"The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us."
- Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson)
"Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another."
- Plato
"My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all."
- Stephen Hawking |
