Recently, according to Live Science, the results of two scientific studies have been released that could, if verified, prove the existence of advanced alien civilizations elsewhere in the universe ...

Seven different stars in our galaxy may show signs of being contained within Dyson spheres, megastructures that could be constructed by advanced civilizations to harness radiation energy from stars, ...

When people hear “Dyson sphere,” their first thought is probably a heavy-duty vacuum. They certainly don’t think of a megastructure surrounding and harnessing a star’s energy with the purpose of ...

Dyson spheres, the hypothetical mega-structures that advanced alien civilizations might use to enclose a star and harness its energy, suffer from a fatal flaw: They are catastrophically unstable. But ...

In 1960, legendary physicist Freeman Dyson published his seminal paper "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation," wherein he proposed that there could be extraterrestrial ...

In a galactic breakthrough, modern telescopes have unveiled potential signals of alien megastructures. We’re treading into the realm of advanced civilizations and their technological marvels, and the ...

There’s a new wrinkle in the connection between the artificial intelligence race, and the drive to explore deep space. It’s getting a shot in the arm today with a headline from The Information that ...

The Sphere would not gravitationally bind to its star in a stable fashion. This is perhaps counterintuitive; you might think that a perfect sphere around a star would be stable. But if any part of the ...

We’d need an astronomical amount of resources to construct a Dyson sphere, a giant theoretical shell that would harvest all of a given star’s energy, around the Sun. In fact, as science journalist ...

The gargantuan artificial construct enveloping your local star is going to be rather difficult to miss, even from a few light years away. And given the literally astronomical costs of resources needed ...
