In the sixties of the last century, a smart physicist named Freeman Dyson reached an interesting idea. I think that the highly advanced strange civilizations may build huge structures around their stars to seize all the energy produced by the star.
Think about it in this way: If civilization is really good in using energy, they may want to overcome energy use from its planet. Dyson said they can build these huge shells, which we now call “Dyson CERTES”, to collect the star’s strength directly. This will be a big step on something called the “Kardashif scale”, and it transports them from the type I to a type 2 civilization.
Some astronomers have suggested that “these dyson fields” may give unique signals called “Technosignatures”, which we can see from many, many light years.
But although we are looking, we did not communicate with foreigners, not to mention finding one of these giant structures that absorb the star’s energy.
According to a report In a “new world”, there may be a good reason for that. A scientist named Brian Lacry, who works with the listening initiative, is a breakthrough – a project looking for signs of strange civilizations – that Dyson may destroy themselves before we have an opportunity to find them.
in Search paper It is not officially reviewed yet, Lounci notes that the presence of a lot of satellite -like things everywhere around the star at the same time can lead to a really bad reaction if they collide with each other.
As Lacry said, “A new world”, “When you have a full set of things that move together like that in a swarm, there will be a natural question, do they collide sometimes each other? In their orbital speeds, it can be disastrous.”
This type of risk is actually something we already see about our planet. Scientists have long warned that the satellites that revolve around the Earth can collide with each other or with all unwanted space there. This can begin the domino effect called “Kisler syndrome”. Experts have warned that it is a “issue of time only” before the collision caused a big problem.
Lacry believes that foreigners should be very careful to make sure that the organisms in their Dyson balls are not exposed to each other.
“You can not have a lot of materials around a star without colliding with himself and cutting himself in the end, unless every component of the swarm is keen to manage its orbit,” Jason Wright, a professor of astronomical physics in Pennsylvania who did not participate in Lacry’s research.
Loofi’s idea raises an interesting possibility: We may still be able to find signs of DYSON fields that have already fell on the distant stars. However, without these clear “technology”, it will be very difficult to find it.
When it comes to the use of the sun’s strength ourselves, researchers have found “before” that we will need to dismantle a large planet like Jupiter to build Dyson’s ball around our star. This will be a huge task – and perhaps very risk -.
