Undetectable without an incredibly powerful and correctly aimed (and timed!) directional antenna. It’s lost in the cacophony of unintelligible stellar radio now, deep, deep below the noise. The idea that “I Love Lucy” is out there flying through space light-years away, just waiting for an antenna to pick it up? Myth. We have never broadcast any omnidirectional radio signals that would be detectable over the noise floor at the range of our nearest stellar neighbor. This is a naive interpretation of a naive equation and a naive paradox. Posted in News Tagged boinc, distributed computing, SETI, Post navigation
If you’d rather do something more personal as a citizen scientist, you can join the zoo. just started up a coronavirus program, for instance. On the other hand, there are still other projects around that do distributed processing, most of them built on the Berkley framework BOINC.
Maybe everyone who used to donate is mining Bitcoin now? Or maybe they just really analyzed all their data. Or maybe the cost of GPU-based supercomputers is now so low that it really doesn’t make sense to send jobs all over the Internet. So what do you think? Maybe they found ET and just don’t want to announce it too soon. We need to focus on completing the back-end analysis of the results we already have, and writing this up in a scientific journal paper. The project is going into hibernation while they focus on analyzing data already processed.ġ) Scientifically, we’re at the point of diminishing returns basically, we’ve analyzed all the data we need for now.Ģ) It’s a lot of work for us to manage the distributed processing of data.
In particular, your computer could help crunch data from radio telescopes looking for extraterrestrial life. It was about 21 years ago that Berkley started one of the first projects that would allow you to donate idle computing time to scientific research.
