The Extraterrestrial Aliens Might Be Hanging Out On Dyson Spheres Circling Bright Dwarfs, Physicist Argues

 

In an intriguing new paper by physicist Silas Beane of the University of Bonn in Germany and a few pals, that is what aliens would do. And if the aliens have already done this, they must have been building these structures for at least 10 billion years, they say—an age that raises interesting questions about whether they’re still around today and, if so, why we haven’t detected them yet.

 

Scientists have been looking for Extraterrestrial life on Earth's moon

Since the 1970s, when NASA sent its first space missions to our lunar neighbor, we’ve been looking for extraterrestrial life. Now a new paper looks at whether alien life might be hiding away on Earth’s moon – specifically, on one of its mini-moons. A new paper proposes that some mini-moons orbiting Earth’s moon might be able to support alien life.

 

These theories have shifted to Mars.

The astronomer and science fiction author Larry Niven first proposed a Dyson sphere in 1968 to explain what happened to all of Mars’ water. The idea was that an advanced race of aliens once lived on Mars but moved on, capturing most of its sun’s energy by building a shell around their planet and then using it to power a star-lifting ship that would carry them off into space.

 

Some scientists believe extraterrestrials could be watching us from beyond our solar system, for example, by monitoring radio waves given off by Earth or beaming lasers toward us. If that's true, aliens might have already found us and set up shop somewhere in our galaxy. Though we’ve been searching for years with various telescopes, no one has found concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life (i.e., E.T.). But that doesn’t mean ET isn’t already here—maybe they just know how to hide.

 

Scientists search for evidence of Dyson spheres created by advanced civilizations in the Milky Way.

A team of scientists led by Kailash Sahu of The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai has used data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft to look for evidence of so-called Dyson spheres. The search was motivated by a recent paper that examined 10 billion simulated galaxies and found some with hundreds or even thousands of instances of advanced civilizations (defined as those able to harness a significant amount of energy). It concluded that there are 10 times more advanced civilizations than anyone thought previously.

 

Professor Abraham Loeb suggests an alternative place where we may find extraterrestrial life - near ultra-cool dwarf stars known as bright dwarfs.

A bright dwarf is a stellar remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter. A bright dwarf's luminosity comes from the emission of stored thermal energy; no fusion occurs in a bright dwarf wherein hydrogen is not sufficiently heated by convection or other means to maintain a thermonuclear fusion of helium. The nearest known bright dwarfs are Sirius B, 8.6 light years away, and Proxima Centauri, 1.3 parsecs (4.2 light years) from Earth.

 

Some new research indicates these highly dense objects might contain habitable zones that hold water. Section: And if this theory is true, it’s possible there may be planets with the potential for intelligent life around these stars. Section: This means there might be Dyson sphere aliens orbiting around them. Section: If we want to find these super-advanced civilizations among the stars, we should start looking in this area.

A quantum vacuum is a pure vacuum that has yet to be cooled below its de Broglie wavelength. It is a state of virtual matter; because it contains no actual particles of ordinary matter or antimatter, it is nothing in classical terms.
