SETI@home looking for more volunteers By Robert Sanders, Media Relations BERKELEY Since SETI@home launched eight years ago, the project based at the University of California, Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory has signed up more than 5 million interested volunteers and boasts the largest community of dedicated users of any Internet computing project: 170,000 devotees on 320,000 computers. Yet, new and more sensitive receivers on the world's largest radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, and better frequency coverage are generating 500 times more data for the project than before. The SETI@home software has been upgraded to deal with this new data as the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) enters a new era and offers a new opportunity for those who want to help find other civilizations in the universe. "The next generation SETI@home is 500 times more powerful then anything anyone has done before," said project chief scientist Dan Werthimer. "That means we are 500 times more likely to find ET than with the original SETI@home."

    David Anderson: Inside SETI@Home
    by Richard Koman
    Lessig: Fight For Your Right to Innovate
    Joy Announces JXTA Something's Happening Here ... What Price Innovation? The numbers that the SETI@Home project have racked up are truly amazing. As David Anderson, the SETI@Home lead who now works at United Devices, revealed at his speech at the O'Reilly P2P Conference yesterday, the project has 2.7 million users in 226 countries. "We've accumulated 500,000 years of CPU time. Our rate of computing is 25 teraflops, which is twice the speed of IBM's ASCII White, the fastest supercomputer in the world). We've analyzed 45 terabytes of data." They handle all this with a staff of three to five people. SETI@Home is the most popular and well-known distributed computing project on the Net, but it was initially embraced with open arms by the larger Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence project. "When we asked the SETI Institute for money, not only didn't they give us money, they didn't even like the idea of the project. They didn't think it would work with computers connected with modems. They thought we would get hacked and be used to download viruses, which would discredit the project. They were afraid some overzealous user would write their own analysis program and claim alien contact, thus discrediting the project." Anderson warns other distributed computing developers to expect a similar fate at the hands of whatever establishment they're dealing with. "IT managers feel threatened by paradigm shifts. The only way to counteract this is to have success stories. Don't set expectations too high. Make sure no disasters happen."

OK folks, nothing to see here. I talked with my buddy Seth Shostak , who is a Senior SETI astronomer, and he told me that this whole alien signal thing is a big misunderstanding on the part of the KTVU reporter. Basically, Dan Wertheimer, a radio astronomer who is affiliated with SETI, detected a pulse from space news article The signal was detected quite some time ago, and had it been alien, believe me you would have heard from the folks at SETI! So chalk this one up as yet another in a long line of false alarms. Sorry to burst the ET bubble. UPDATE (18:45 Mountain time): and they sometimes cache web pages . I also took a screen capture of the meat of the article and uploaded it to my Flickr page 2) I just talked to Dan Wertheimer, the astronomer quoted in the article. He told me that the original interview was about sending signals into space (so-called "active SETI") as opposed to just listening for aliens. After the interview, he talked to the reporter about some of the astronomy he does, including looking at what are called radio transients: bursts of radio waves that are seen once and never repeat. These may come from one-off events like colliding neutron stars, exploding stars, and so on. Somehow, in the article the reporter mixed up the observation of the transient signals with detecting a signal from E.T. Worse — if that’s possible — the observations of the transients

The Observatory was named after the Big Ear Radio Telescope (demolished in 1998) a Kraus-type radio telescope (named for Dr. John D. Kraus, the founder and director of the observatory, who was also the designer and builder of the telescope). Big Ear covered an area larger than three football fields. The telescope was famous for discovering some of the most distant known objects in the universe, as well as for the "Wow!" Signal and the longest-running SETI (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) project entered into the Guinness Book of Records . This unique probe of the depths of the cosmos was located in Delaware, Ohio

"That means we are 500 times more likely to find ET than with the original SETI@home." According to project scientist Eric Korpela, the new data amounts to 300 gigabytes per day, or 100 terabytes (100,000 gigabytes) per year, about the amount of data stored in the U.S. Library of Congress. "That's why we need all the volunteers," he said. "Everyone has a chance to be part of the largest public participation science project in history."
