Une intox ? je ne trouve pas ce genre de révélation sur le site de SETI@HOME
Et ça n'y est pas non plus sur seti.org, qui serait d'ailleurs plus concerné que seti@home.
D'ailleurs, dans l'organigramme du seti, aucune trace d'un quelconque Craig Kasnov. Ni dans les " Scientists, Engineers and Educators ", et encore moins dans le "senior staff ". C'est ballot, hein. Quitte à monter un hoax, autant essayer de prendre un vrai nom pour que l'illusion tienne au moins un peu.....Ce canular là est vraiment mal monté (comme la plupart) et une vérification sommaire suffit à tout démonter.
Bien entendu, également, aucun Craig kasnov à l'horizon visible en matière d'astrophysique, il n'existe pas.
Il existe cependant un Kasnoff lié à seti@home.
Voilà ce qu'il dit. Je pense que ça a le mérite d'être clair (et le pauvre, il va être inondé de mails de gens qui vont le harceler...)
Craig Kasnov? SETI astrophysicist? Hmmmm.
My name is Craig Kasnoff. And I was the one who ‘co-concieved’ the idea for SETI@HOME with David Gedye.
And no, I am not an astrophysicist.
If this discussion, or the article above, is inferring that I, Craig Kasnoff, (and not Craig Kasnov) have made an announcement regarding ‘large rapidly objects approaching Earth’, then that is just plain false.
I have not been involved in any announcement of that kind at all.
However, if there is a ‘Craig Kasnov’ who is a ‘SETI astrophysicist’, then you will all have to take that up with him.
My current work focuses on the issue of Endangered Species (http://www.Bagheera.com / http://TigersinCrisis.com).
The issue of endangered species was one of the driving considerations in my contribution to the concept of SETI@HOME.
To me, SETI@HOME was not only a way to confirm there was possibly ‘life’ on other planets, but it was also a way to confirm there wern’t any South China Tigers, Giant Pandas, or Komodo Dragons, anywhere else but on Earth.
Because it was -and still is- my belief that when an animal is forced into extinction, that animal is not just lost to Earth, but is lost to the entire Universe.
And that is tragic.
Anyway, this post may, or may not have, made any contribution to the discussions of ‘objects flying towards Earth’. But I hope it clears up any question regarding my involvement this announcement.
I have no involvement in it.
Sincerly,
Craig Kasnoff
