Seti @ home was (or maybe is) the biggest scam there ever was. I was an early participanyt, until I relaised they would never find anything. The math is somewhere in sci.physics. (signal strength too low).

You ARE AN IDIOT! They are now using the same antennas to detect orbit wobbles around stars and around galaxy centers, finding and "looking at" black holes. You are one of those idiots that ran one iteration, and then decided it was useless. Essentially, mindsets like yours, and very likely everything about you, is what is useless. (your contributions are too low).

It's not a scam, it's just an experiment with a low probability of finding a very important signal. http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/2007/1828280.htm John

So, the iPhone network won't do the trick for serious research? Good enough only for earthquack researchers? Darn. Like a lot of deals that look good until you seism up. --

Serious seismic research was around long before the iPud or the iSuckYerWalletDryPhone came around, much less the "app for that". Folks should have boycotted Apple and everything about them years ago. Open source and freedom rules! |
