| I am a 25 year old South African male. I own a small software company called Nexus Software specialising in custom database applications. Other than work, I race motorcycles (road and drag), I enjoy mutilating my PC's case (otherwise known as modding), SCUBA diving, skydiving, designing and making stuff, reading, listening to music and watching movies. BTW, I am running Seti@Home on a single AMD Thunderbird 1.2 GHz running at 1.6 GHz, with 512 MB DDR RAM. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I sincerely hope that there is life elsewhere in the universe. It would be a helluva waste of space if there weren't, and natural law does not allow this. However, the chances of finding INTELLIGENT life is somewhat slimmer than other life (microbial, etc). For an alien race to develop intelligence, it must be self aware, and with this comes all the traps. Advanced man, capable of communicating with another planet, has existed for less than half a century, and in that time has done more to destroy himself than to improve the whole. Considering that our closest star is, if I remember correctly, 4 light-years away, the odds are on that we will destroy our plant and ourselves before any meaningful contact with another intelligent form can occur. The reverse could also be true; that an alien race may have sent a signal, but has since destroyed itself.
I would love to write more, but have no time at present. I will add more at a later stage. |
