| Your opinions about Einstein@Home |
Why do I run Einstein@Home?
Because Seti@home had a huge outage in the first perion of may 2007 and I didn't wanted good computer power to go to waste!
What are your views about the project?
Einstein@Home is a method to search for gravitational waves from very dense, rapidly-spinning stars, such as neutron or quark stars. The frequency of the waves is typically twice the star's spin frequency, though other frequencies are also possible. Thus, if the star is spinning about its axis 100 times per second, we might expect gravitational waves to be emitted primarily at a frequency of 200 cycles per second (Hz).
I am still wondering about a possible purpose other than gaining insight in the universe and how it's made (for me that is sufficient enough)!
I guess we won't find a planet with einstein@home and that is what i would like to do. Find a planet where we(the earthlings) could live and travel to.
