An Ode To SETI@Home
Hark the Herald Aliens sing!
Glory to the new found thing
Peace on Earth, and up there in Space too
Seti@Home analysed the signals, that's me and that's you.
From a time before the Earth was writ
Communiqués were flying via byte and bit
Messages, in unimagined forms and types
Beamed and leaked and lost and piped.
Aeons later, on this pale blue dot
Consciousness emerged, how and why we know not
Intelligence developed, and through curiosity
We started asking questions such as: Who Are We?
Hark the Herald Aliens sing!
Glory to the new found thing
Peace on Earth, and up there in Space too
Seti@Home analysed the signals, that's me and that's you.
Cocconi, Morrison, Shlovskii and Sagan
Kardashev, Clarke, Drake and Dyson
And others, far too many to adequately mention
Developed the techniques and ideas to answer the question.
Are We Alone or is there more to find out?
There can only be one way to remove any doubt
Make the effort, in the best ways we know as yet
Such as listen and study the incoming data set.
Hark the Herald Aliens sing!
Glory to the new found thing
Peace on Earth, and up there in Space too
Seti@Home analysed the signals, that's me and that's you.
Fast Fourier Transforms and other mathematical ilk
The kinds of things for which computers were built
Networked together under the aegis of BOINC
Supercomputing power almost beyond what we can think
Signals from telescopes half way around the Earth
Sent to our computers of which there's no dearth
For this is the mechanism by which our PC's crunch
Crunching numbers, with no need to stop for breakfast or lunch.
Hark the Herald Aliens sing!
Glory to the new found thing
Peace on Earth, and up there in Space too
Seti@Home analysed the signals, that's me and that's you.
Millions of people from each and every nation
At one time or another plugged in their computer station
To search the skies for the return of the WOW!
Creating a new paradigm, and creating it now.
Looking for Gaussians, Triplets, Pulses and more
Looking for the signs that we're all searching for
Are We Alone and how would we know
Join the search and perhaps the answers you'll show.
Hark the Herald the Aliens sing!
The telltale signs of their broadcasts, a wondrous thing
Are We Alone and how would we know
Join Seti@Home and perhaps the answers you'll show.
Are We Alone and how would we know
