Happy Birthday SETI@Home!

Jim Griffin June 3, 2024


Background

SETI@home was officially launched on May 17, 1999 which makes it 25 years old this week, so Happy Birthday SETI!

As you might recall, SETI stands for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.

This video describes the origins and background of SETI, and the amazing scale that it achieved worldwide. It then goes on to discuss the legacy of SETI@Home for large-scale projects and grid computing.

After that, it continues with a playful look at some of the better-known “evidence” from SETI in regard to the possible confirmed existence of extraterrestrial intelligence.
