Scientists have found 'evidence' of advanced alien civilisations

No actual news. Just the ongoing search for Dyson spheres. Excess infrared radiation is the tipoff, with a handful of candidate sightings identified by Project Hephaistos. Real tipoff will be when a Dyson sphere is listed with Sotheby’s.

I just finished watching the movie #Moonfall starring Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson. It is currently rated 5.2/10 at IMDb. I can tell you, I am _not_ going to raise that rating.

That is a great looking and very creative story about #DysonSpheres and megastructures in space. The execution of that story is horrible.

There are way too many loose ends in this one to even begin picking this apart properly.

Just stay away from it, please.

The findings are published in MNRAS, and the paper is available here:

#SETI #DysonSpheres #extraterrestrial #technosignature #JodrellBank

Using e-MERLIN and EVN/e-VLBI, two powerful radio telescope arrays with Jodrell Bank’s crucial involvement, we observed one of these stars and confirmed a ‘hot DOG’ behind it (the left in the picture).

Remember the recent discovery of seven stars with unusual spectral energy distributions, initially identified as possible Dyson Spheres?

Now, we, a group of SETI astronomers at the University of Manchester (@OfficialUoM) propose an alternative: the strange characteristics of these stars may come from ‘hot DOGs’—rare, dust-rich galaxies located behind the stars, contaminating their light in the infrared.

IMHO #DysonSpheres and #Superflares are pretty incompatible. I seriously doubt anybody would consider them commercially viable. Even Elon probably would not build one. And, even worse, no insurance would cover things like superflares.

A group of researchers have identified at least seven #stars that might be surrounded by advanced #alien #MegaStructures known as "#DysonSpheres."

I'd say the same thing.

#Astronomy has another case of "#Bullshit circles the planet before the truth gets its shoes on" - A recent paper looked for #DysonSpheres by finding red stars which coincided with radio emission. The hype resulted in a thousand news articles... except a new paper shows they failed to check whether normal red M-dwarf stars might happen to be close to normal radio sources (radio-loud AGN) 🤦‍♂️ https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14921
Now we'll be lucky if this good science gets 10% the press that the original did.

When physicits write fiction, it gets published in 'Science'.

@Myoldpiano @sundogplanets Isaac Arthur did a #FermiParadox compendium a little while back ⤵️ that goes into more detail on the various solutions but the "intelligence" is assumed to be technological abilities observable one way or another but not limited to radio we should be able to spot #DysonSpheres in our galaxy & clusters of them in our local group.

On my more optimistic days I am in the rare Earth ➕ many filters etc faction including Light really is a speed limit.

We Should Be Looking for Small, Hot Dyson Spheres

If you chart humanity's rising energy use, we'll eventually be using all the solar radiation that falls on Earth, and then all the energy emitted by the Sun - a Dyson sphere (or swarm). A new paper investigates the thermodynamics of Dyson spheres, considering the different trade-offs between the energy received, the amount of computation they could perform, and how they could dissipate their heat. According to the paper, the most efficient use of mass is to create very small, hot Dyson spheres. This will help astronomers search for them across the galaxy.
