SETI at Home
Or searching for ET...
-
SETI@home is a scientific experience dealing with Radio astronomy. This project works with the unused power of million of home computers with the aim to Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (aka SETI). You can contribute to this project with your own Mac (or your server or a Pc). You set up an automatic software which will automatically downloads and processes data collected from the huge radio space telescope in Arecibo. There is a small but exciting probability to detect a distant murmure from a different civilization outside of our solar system.
More than 3 millions of contributors from 226 countries, make the equivalent of half millions years calculations and return 300 millions of results. Do you wanna contribute to that collective and shared work ?
You can get more informations, subscribe and download the software on the SETI official home page.
When you are registered, follow up the instructions to set up the software on your Mac(s). And join the MacMusic group in order to add up the MacMusic statistics all together.
If SETI detects music from the space, it will be a good way to recruit new and different Active members to your favourite site?
