Scientists from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) said they are looking into some weird signal spikes from a 6.3-billion-year-old star in the constellation Hercules detected by a Russian radio telescope.

quote:

Two scientists, who said we need to monitor this weird signal around the clock until the truth is found, said that the signal’s strength - if it's going out in all directions - would mean it's from a power source that could only come from a Kardaschev Type II civilization. That means these creatures are able to build an artificial structure that can encapsulate a whole dang star and transfer all the power to a single planet.

I accept my Yoga Girl type berating from the OT collective for my interest and belief that we are not alone in the universe.

So basically they heard something in the radio range from space where *gasp* THESE SIGNALS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME though we might not catch them, and all of a sudden it falls into the "class" of communication level that aliens (who are not proven to exist) would be thought to have encapsulated an entire star/planet to provide power to their civilization?



Can't believe these idiots get national attention.

I forgot what the time horizon is for our advancement to this point, but we have come a really long way in 10,000 years. Give it another Billion years without a mass extinction, and I think we definitely could do it.

There are only 2 possibilities - either we are the lone sentient species in the universe or we aren't.

Either prospect is terrifying.
