| Your personal background. | |
| Greetings fellow earthlings... I just love this distributive computing thing. It eases my guilty conscience for owning such a contraption as a pc that wastes brain power as much as it does energy...and here I sit, indulging. Thank you einstein and boinc people for bringing a sense of purpose to my otherwise useless and timewasting pc and online preoccupations. In my real life I am a chemist and so deal with purely electromagetic interactions (how's that for first principles); and it does pay the light bill. When I'm not doing that, I do everything else: astronomy, read, piano, fiddle, frisbee, bike, teach, read some more, eat, drink scotch, go online, play TheSims, drink more scotch, and do all over again. | |
| Your opinions about Einstein@Home | |
| Einstein@home is great. The fact that we have developed a theory about what gravity may actually be makes this kind of research incredibly important. As to actually detect a gravity wave--that would be truly awesome, especially if we could match its source to a concurrent optical observation like a gamma ray burst (via another observatory of course). And, we learn so much by endeavoring to learn (just like during the early space program). And too, its personally rewarding to know that I too had a hand in the exploration for gravity waves what with the distributive computing and all. | |
