Seti
 

Does anyone here have SETI@home running??????

You must be watching alien encounters on the sci channel like me!

You got it..... I was thinking about running that scan program but I am wondering how much data that would use? Because my wife got scammed at best buy while purchasing an iPad we no longer have unlimited usage on our wifi plan with sprint. So how many bytes is something like that gonna use?

I used to run it. It downloads packets and then process's them. It's not a huge amount of bandwidth. It just uses hella system resources.

I used to run it about 10 years ago, think it's changed a bit since then, different priorities or something. I got a bit disillusioned when DVT set his sites up, I thought he'd already made contact.

I used to run in back in the day. maybe 15+ years ago.

We've been looking in the wrong place for alien communication. Science offers an answer. Looking for radio wave, electro magnetic or even light communication between advanced alien civilizations is wrong. It's too slow. Science now proves technology exists for things such as communication using Quantum Entanglement theory offering instant communication faster than light. Advanced aliens would use something like this for speedy communication over vast distances in space and use radio wave, electro magnetic or light communication as we now use snail mail for communication vs email.

Einstein even referred to this as 'spooky action at a distance'.

I doubt you'd find any letters sent 100 years ago on the side of the road, it's current communications we need to be looking for. Ways to look for communication via Quantum Entanglement theory is our current best bet for finding off world intelligent alien communication

:2 cents:


not that I know anything....

It's a waste of time and energy. Nothing will ever be found with it. Space telescopes will end up finding many inhabited worlds in the next 10-20 years. It's better to use something like folding@home or world community grid. At least these two programs have resulted in about 150 peer reviewed scientific papers and have actually increased scientific knowledge about biology and other topics that actually affect mankind.

I run a WCG team. Team endthedisease. We are in the top %2 of teams worldwide. You can become a member of my team if you join.

Yes. I run it on a spare PC. It downloads some stuff, runs some calculations for a few hours or days at a time sometimes, uploads its findings back and downloads the next batch to be processed.

You can let it run in foreground, background, or as a screen saver which is what I do. This way it doesn't use up resources when you need your machine for something and makes for an interesting and very active screen saver.

Why waste cpu cycles on that when it can go to world community grid or folding@home?

Seti is a joke.

Out of date and utterly useless. They should be applying that money elsewhere.

This is coming from a person who totally believed in intelligence outside of this planet, you would have better luck trying to vector in UFOs with your conscience.

lol is all they found :)

Most earth like planets (%80-90)are around red stars and are much larger than earth. Red stars are also much more stable than yellow ones like ours. Life on these planets would be much more complex being both smarter and stronger. Also these large planets have much more natural resources.

Any aliens from these star systems would only come to marvel at how such a weak yellow star life form managed to remain in existence.

You sure don't know anything
Who says we're more advanced than whatever beings might be out there?
Einstein may have been a genius but he lived a long LONG time ago.

"Science now proves technology exists for things such as communication using Quantum Entanglement theory" ... the tech exists for such things as this and that THEORY?

Theory this theory that - hell, I could write a whole paper about my theory detailing how someone like you manages to work up the brain power to make a computer turn on. The next one about how you manage to make keys write (HALF WAY) intelligible sentences would be even longer.


In summation:

You should do something such as shut the fuck up for chrissake, you're such as disease. You're like Toby on the office and I'd be willing to be michael scott in order to make you stop posting and go back to the basement where you belong.
