Comment on SETI@home by Paul Hearn

I keep an open mind but when one considers the sheer vastness of our own galaxy and the possibility of the ‘meta-Universe’ (trillions of other Universes juxtaposed or aeons apart) and the fact that life survives and thrives in severe conditions on Earth (bacteria on fumaroles, insect and plant life surviving in or near sulphur pools in caves with no sunlight, The arctic cloudberry with apparently more vitamin c than kiwi fruit!) surely there must some form of life out there.
I have spoken to several people with more degrees than a circle who have seen some unexplained and unearthly things in the sky, are all the accounts given untrue? The technology used must be so much more advanced than ours (if e.t exists!) that we may be missing a trick.
Einstein said that science is the refinement of everyday thinking. Everything has a reason or purpose in my opinion even if this doesnt seem obvious or able to be understood. I think its worth keeping on keeping on…

Would this be counting stars without any instruments?

I believe it’s high time everyday people were prepared to live and work in space in a big way…

Hi Anne,

BOINC’s server code is in c++, so you could just use that. Ours is just in Java to make the evolutionary algorithms we do easier to implement.

hi Travis,

Is anyone doing this in C++ instead of Java?
thanks for sharing the code, otherwise i will try to adapt it.

thanks

What is the status of this project? I've been quite interested in Martian features for a while now, especially since learning about the "face" on Mars and various Cydonia references. I take it with a grain of salt, obviously, but it's still fun. Real life X-Files. Roger | The Software Doc

The tubesat idea is great however Interorbital is a joke. Scam after scam to get peoples money.

Be very wary of Interorbital!

We have built a genetic algorithm to simulate Kepler multiplanet systems. What rules can we apply to the genetic algorithm?
