SETI to Upgrade Software, Telescope

Posted by Hemos on from the stepping-up-to-the-future dept.

Professor_Quail writes "Space.com reports that SETI@home is planning to transfer it's operations from Arecibo to another telescope in Australia, where they say lies an increased chance of finding extra-terrestrials. The Australian telescope is more powerful, with a wider view of the sky; scientists are betting that this new telescope will also help find signs of 'shriveling' black holes."

    Certain parts of society are already liasing with aliens, and we have been for some time. Wake up and smell the coffee!

    hehe good show.

    in short:
    "here are some statistics I made up, about an area of knowledge I know very little about, and a piece of 'logic' with no basis in fact that prove what they are doing won't work." ;)
