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.
