Your personal background.
Hi folks. I'm a physics major. I got this computer to play games on, but now I think I like it most to run BOINC! Go BYU!
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I had dinner with the director of LIGO Washington last September at a physics conference in San Jose. He was a real nice guy, real smart, cool, and wow he made me really interested in this gravity wave business. I run Einstein@home at 71% of my BOINC activity, with SETI@home using the rest. I give Einstein@home the priority because I would really like to be a small part of discovering gravity waves! I think the science here is incredible and the ramifications to the field of physics upon successful detection of gravity waves is very exciting. Amen.
