Personal background |
Read about this a few years ago and only recently recalled that, hey, I'm able to afford to do this now. Always have been interested in SETI so chances are that's the only - or one of the only - things I'll be donating some of my computers free time to. |
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
SETI is... every true scientists wet dream. Intelligent extraterrestrial life? It's one step below proving definitively whether or not a God exists.
Can it work? Maybe, maybe not. I'm leaning towards the probably not side, but eh, where would we be now without spending money on pipe dreams? No moon walk and space travel. No nuclear bombs that ended World War 2 for the US without us suffering a hundred thousand casualties while annihilating Japan (and totally changing its future from what it is now).
And finally, even the most impossible things are made possible through human perseverance, ambition and sometimes, dumb luck - Rome fell, man flew in the sky after ten thousand years of fantasizing, and man has set foot on the moon that has haunted the night sky of every living thing to have ever graced this planet. Will we find intelligent life? Who knows? Let's at least enjoy the thrill of the hunt and see what we learn in the meantime. |
