| Personal background |
|---|
I joined the SETI@home project in December of 2011, and I am very optimistic
about the future of this endeavor. I live in land-locked Missouri in the
United States, and I am a 31 year old Network Administrator. I spend hours at
the helm of my computer everyday for work and for play. When I'm not working,
I am seeking out new facts and knowledge about our seemingly infinite universe.
Being an avid astronomy and physics buff, I spend much of my free time learning
as much as I can about the universe we live in. Quantum mechanics has been my
fascination as of late, but astronomy (and astrophysics) is my first love.
I am currently running SETI@home on one desktop machine 24/7, but I hope to add
two more computer systems to my arsenal in the very near future. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

My hope is to contribute to the SETI project, even if my contribution is very
small. I find the study of our universe wildly fascinating, and I always try to
ignite a spark of interest in my friends and colleagues. I believe the more
people we get involved in this exploration, the faster we will reach our goal.
I realize that many hurtles exist in our search for intelligent life outside
our solar system such as distance and time barriers. However, given that our
universe has existed for 14 billion years, I feel that ample time has elapsed
for intelligent life to evolve somewhere in the cosmos... perhaps millions or
even billions of years ago.
I would like to suggest that SETI@home make a concerted effort to recruit students
from universities all over the United States. I would like to see a campaign
created to educate college students about the SETI project, hopefully adding
many brilliant young scientists to the SETI team. |
