Are we alone in the universe? To me it must assuredly be a resounding NO!

Although we have yet to here from our brothers and sisters in sentience, I am sure we will. With more stars (Suns) in the universe than there are grains of sand on all of the earth, it is the height of arrogance to assume we are the only beings with the intelligence to build a radio-transmitter.You can help in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence! See the SETI@Home link, further down this page for details on how you can actually help to find ET.
SETI@home is a scientific experiment that will harness the power of hundreds of thousands of Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). You can participate by running a program that downloads and analyzes radio telescope data. There's a small but captivating possibility that your computer will detect the faint murmur of a civilization beyond Earth.
SETI is the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence by teams of scientists, computer experts and engineers dedicated to the scientific enquiry into our place in the universe.Want to learn more? Click on the site and scroll down tho their "What is SETI" link.
Project Phoenix is the world's most sensitive and comprehensive search for extraterrestrial intelligence. It is an effort to detect extraterrestrial civilizations by listening for radio signals that are either being deliberately beamed our way, or are inadvertently transmitted from another planet. Phoenix is the successor to the ambitious NASA SETI program that was cancelled by a budget-conscious Congress in 1993.
The UC Berkeley SETI Program, SERENDIP (Search for Extraterrestrial Radio Emissions from Nearby Developed Intelligent Populations) is an ongoing scientific research effort aimed at detecting radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations. The project is the world's only "piggyback" SETI system, operating alongside simultaneously conducted conventional radio astronomy observations. SERENDIP is currently piggybacking on the 1,000-foot dish at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the largest radio telescope in the world.SERENDIP is dedicated to providing an answer to the age-old question "Are we alone?"
The SETI Institute serves as a home for scientific research in the general field of Life in the Universe with an emphasis on the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Our research is designed to answer the question: Are we alone in the Universe?
META (the Million-channel Extraterrestrial Assay) was a search program that was in operation from 1985 to 1995 at the Harvard/Smithsonian 26-meter steerable Cassegrain radio telescope at Harvard, Massachusetts. BETA (the Billion-channel Extraterrestrial Assay) is our new search program which went on-line October 30, 1995.
Are We Alone? That question has haunted humankind since first we realized that the points of light in the night sky are other suns. Today we have the technology to seek a definitive answer! The SETI League is participatory science. We are the international grass-roots organization dedicated to privatizing the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. Together, hundreds of members in dozens of countries are keeping alive the quest for our cosmic companions.
The Planetary Society is your connection to the exploration of the cosmos and the search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence. Check out the latest headline articles, with news about Mars exploration, the space station, and more.
