Your opinions about Einstein@Home
1 - It is a great adventure to try to detect gravitational waves.

2 - We can make a comparison with great interferometers in optical astronomy, where the whole diluted pupil is made of several small telescopes.
Here in this project, each small home computer is a small part of a much bigger instrument, dedicated to the detection of gravitationnal waves.
