Your opinions about Einstein@Home
1. Why do I run Einstein@home? Well, it's about the only way that I can play a part in cutting-edge physics research.

2. I think that the idea of using distributed CPU power to analyse data from LIGO et. al. is brilliant! Not only does it allow the researchers to save money (by not having to build giant CPU clusters), but it lets ordinary people feel and be involved in the research.
