According to a study of 5 million solar systems within the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy, some stars showed signs in their light signatures that were consistent with being surrounded by Dyson structures. There are three types of Dyson structures: a Dyson Ring is exactly what it sounds like, a ring around a star. A Dyson Swarm is a grouping of structures in synchronous orbit. And a Dyson Ball surrounds the star. The goal is to collect as much energy from the star as possible.
The computer algorithm used in this study appears to have helped identify 60 stars that emit such signals.
Disclaimer: Most likely not. But still interesting.
Scientists used ‘neural networks’ to survey five million solar systems. The results were interesting. They found that nearly 60 stars appeared to be surrounded by “giant alien energy plants.”
Seven of the 60 stars were M-dwarfs and were between 60% and 8% the size of the Sun. They were seen to emit high infrared “heat signatures” according to the astronomers.
The astronomers in the new study said that “outer space phenomena cannot easily explain the observed excess infrared emission.”
This discovery suggests that the Milky Way galaxy may have alien technology for power generation.
The technology used is the Dyson structures mentioned above.
The concept of these structures is based on a novel by Olaf Stapledon, published in 1937, entitled Star Maker.
What about the fact that this study has detected these structures? I’m skeptical.
Suazo stated that “the most fascinating explanation” could be Dyson spheres.
Researchers have compiled a list of possible Dyson spheres based on data collected from more than five million sources.
Scientists studied signs of alien megastructures that were partially complete and could emit excess infrared light.
They said that “this structure would emit waste energy in the form of mid-infrared rays, which would, in addition to its level of completion, depend on its effective temperatures.”
It is not stated what other explanations could cause this mid-infrared emission. As a biologist rather than a cosmologist I think that a star of the G-sequence, like our sun, if it were to be surrounded (or engulfed) by a cloud or clouds of dust or gas, would also likely emit an IR signature. It’s more likely that an alien civilization would be technologically thousands or millions of years ahead of us.
It doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no intelligent life in the universe. It’s difficult to estimate the number of stars within the Milky Way Galaxy, but it is likely in the hundreds or billions. Many of these stars also have planets. As I move on to biology, which is a subject I’m more familiar with, I can say that I believe life will arise in any environment, even the most hostile. Intelligent life is extremely rare and this study only hints at a very slight glimpse of what could be an indication of structure.
I think the people who released this release have jumped the guns.
