Well this would be a Type 2 Civilization, which really means only another Type 2 or 3 Civilization could wipe them out. I see no reason why this confirms the Fermi Paradox.

We don't know what they'd look like, but we do know if they have become a space fairing race what they use for energy. Its entire planets and stars. They have the most amount of matter and energy that can be exploited. So we look for stars and planets that seem to be oddly disprortionate in these levels of energy and hopefully find some struture they are using to siphon stars and planets.
My problem with this line of thinking is that it's all based on earth and earth principles. And it's talking about things that we may not even be able to comprehend, yet here you are spouting off about Type 2 this or Type 3 that.

Yeah, but in theory another solar system/planet is bound by the same laws of physics and chemistry that we are.
Well, in theory at least.

There is a theoretical Types IV and V civilizations, and unlike 2 and 3, there's a good chance we wouldn't be able to detect it. These get more into the level of :drumroll: Interstellar aliens where they are extra dimensional. But the logical way most aliens would gather energy is through planets and stars, and that could be detected.
