The Erasmus University is using this emaillist (with aproval of the V2_Organisation) only for this one occasion as the topic might be of interest to the users of this emaillist. Studium Generale Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam [Tue. 11 January 2000 / 20:00 – 22:00 h / room LB 97 Woudestein] The search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations IS ANYBODY OUT THERE? DAN WERTHIMER Projectleider Seti@home project The SETI@home project uses desktop computers from more than a million volunteers. Participants download a screen-saver program form the Web, and data from the Arecibo radio telescope is distributed via the Internet to this program. The program analyzes the data, searching for narrow-band continuous and pulsed signals. SETI@home participants have contributed 100.000 years of computer time so far and have formed Earth’s largest supercomputer. Users will have the small but captivating possibility that their computer will detect the first signal from a civilization beyond Earth. Dan Werthimer is director of the Serendip Seti Program and chief scientist of SETI@home at the University of California, Berkeley. He will discuss UC Berkeley’s SETI program at the world’s largest radio telescope. He will also discuss optical seti and the SETI@home program.
