Thanks. :-) Actually SETI is a win win science. If we are alone, this is most profound. If we are not, this is also profound.

Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. If we are not alone, there will be some root changes made in most of the non-technical disciplines. If we are alone, most people in the world will have to do a gut check.
