I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time… Dunno why I never did it before!
I’ve always been a staunch believer in the existance of Extra-Terrestial life. The idea that we are not alone in the universe is so compelling.
Think about it!
Anyways, The Search for Extra Terrestial Intelligence (SETI) is a quest to answer one of life’s most intriguing questions: Are we alone in the universe? The answer, either ways will definately have a drastic impact on human-kind!
SETI@home (“SETI at home”) is a distributed computing project using Internet-connected computers, hosted by the Space Sciences Laboratory, at the University of California, Berkeley, in the United States. SETI is an acronym for the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.
The goal of SETI@home is to detect intelligent life outside Earth. SETI@home searches for possible evidence of radio transmissions from extraterrestrial intelligence using data from the Arecibo radio telescope.

Anyways, so SETI@home is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).
Basically what that means is you download the SETI@home software and run it on your computer, thus contributing to the computing power (of course in the idle time) to expand this project.
And I’ve just done that :)
I hope to see in my lifetime that we have made contact!
