SETI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia SETI has occasionally been the target of criticism by those who suggest that it is a form of pseudoscience. A basic assumption of SETI is that of "Mediocrity" [1]: the idea that humanity is not exotic in the Cosmos but in a sense "typical" or "medium" when compared with other intelligent species. SETI advocates did not give up, and in 1995 the nonprofit "SETI Institute" of Mountain View, California, resurrected the work under the name of Project "Phoenix", backed by private sources of funding. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/SETI   (5846 words)

SETI@home - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia SETI@home ("SETI at home") is a grid computing (distributed computing in the project's own terminology) project using Internet-connected computers, hosted by the Space Sciences Laboratory, at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States. SETI@home is often used to check on the reliability of a computer configuration when overclocking. SETI@home, in addition to its altruistic use to aid SETI, is quite useful as a stress testing tool for computer workstations. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/SETI_at_home   (2034 words)

SETI The roots of SETI in its modern form, as a search for artificial signals over interstellar and even intergalactic distances, can be traced back to the 1930s with the discovery by Karl Jansky of radio waves coming from a source outside the Solar System. In the Soviet Union, SETI was seen as a natural outcome of communist philosophy and, partly for this reason, became quickly established as a respectable field of research. The first practical proposals in SETI were made in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but were aimed only at interplanetary communication (see communication, with the Moon and planets). www.daviddarling.info /encyclopedia/S/SETI.html   (1427 words)

Egypt: Seti (Sethos) I Seti's mummy is said to be the finest of all surviving royal mummies, though it was not found in his tomb. Seti I was the father of perhaps Egypt's greatest rulers, Ramesses II, and was in his own right also a great leader. Seti was the son of Ramesses I and his queen, Sitre. www.touregypt.net /featurestories/seti1.htm   (827 words)

SETI@home FAQ for newsgroups alt.sci.seti and sci.astro.seti. Should discussion about the SETI@home project and the SETI project in general begin to crowd eachother, a second newsgroup devoted solely to SETI@home will be created with the name "alt.sci.seti.at-home" leaving "alt.sci.seti" for discussion of the SETI project. Collectively, these programs are called SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.) SETI@home is a scientific experiment that harnesses the power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Several SETI projects are on the drawing board (1HT, etc.) and many of them will require as much or more computing power as the SETI@home project uses currently. setifaq.org /faq.html   (15018 words)

SETI Reseach & Community Development Institute SETI research group came into existence in 1998 when attending the SETI In the 21st Century conference at the University of Western Sydney, Campbelltown NSW. We were a group of Seti League members attending the conference and in between the various papers being presented, the delegates had the opportunity to mix and enjoy some informal discussions. The completion of the solar energy facilities is a milestone in the development of our Seti project and we are very happy with the outcome of this momentous achievement. www.seti.org.au   (1596 words)

SETI: The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence For more background on SETI history and the cancellation of NASA's SETI program, you may want to read an article from the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society. Part of the cancelled program was picked up by the private, non-profit SETI Institute, and a smaller part by the non-profit, grassroots SETI League. In late 1959 and early 1960, the modern SETI era began when Frank Drake conducted the first such SETI search at approximately the same time that Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison published a key journal article suggesting this approach. history.nasa.gov /seti.html   (351 words)

Guardian Unlimited Technology Technology Scientists, be on guard ... ET might be a malicious hacker All signals picked up by Seti are broken up and sent across the internet to a vast band of volunteers who have signed up for a Seti screensaver, which allows their computers to crunch away at the signals, when they are not at their desks. Rather than dismiss his concerns, Dr Carrigan wants the Seti scientists to build safety features into their network to act as a quarantine so any potentially damaging signals can be trapped before they infect the internet. In his report, entitled Do potential Seti signals need to be decontaminated?, he suggests the Seti scientists may be too blase about finding a signal. technology.guardian.co.uk /news/story/0,16559,1650296,00.html   (368 words)

SETI Hacker To paraphrase Cocconi and Morrison for the possibility of a malevolent SETI signal …the probability of a contaminated SETI signal is difficult to estimate; but if we never consider it the chance of infection is not zero.

Amateur SETI: Project BAMBI The smaller aperture antenna actually enjoys a benefit for SETI use; the wider beam width means that sources will stay in the beam longer allowing a wider spectrum to be examined. Phase II: Narrow Band SETI: You will notice that BAMBI has a number of features that, while not required or even necessarily optimal for a total power receiver, are essential for SETI. The planned extension of the BAMBI project to amateur SETI is also discussed. www.bambi.net   (1736 words)
