Werthimer will discuss the possibility of life in the universe and the search for radio signals from other civilizations. SETI@home analyzes data from the worldΓÇÖs largest radio telescope using desktop computers from five million volunteers in 226 countries. SETI@home participants have contributed two million years of computer time and have formed EarthΓÇÖs most powerful supercomputer. Users have the small but captivating possibility their computer will detect the first signal from a civilization beyond Earth. Werthimer will also discuss plans for future SETI experiments, petaop signal processing, and open source code for public participation distributed computing (BOINC ΓÇö Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing).
