1. I am a frustrated should-have-been astrophysicist. Except when I was making career decisions there was not much going on in that world (late 1960's.) Perhaps this is a way to make a small contribution, since I have forgotten anything I ever knew about the math necessary to do any real work myself.
2. Not yet well developed, as I have not done my homework yet. And you haven't done yours in making the project intelligible for John Doe and rubbing his nose in it.
3. Easy to get to, or even hard to avoid explanations of what this project is trying to achieve and what an individual (or individual computer's) contribution is. Where does this rank on the networking vs real science scale, in other words is this mostly an experiment in massive distributed computing or an experiment in finding gravitons? Or is it mostly both? What is it that I am seeing in the spinning sky map? |
