Aliens may have to star to survive?

Dan Hooper, a senior scientist at the Fermi Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, outlined this new alien concept in a new paper.

A hypothetical scientist, the future intelligent aliens can survive, by collecting, storing and harnessing the power of stars in the universe.

Dan Hooper, a senior scientist at the Fermi Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, outlined this new alien concept in a new paper.

He said that in the next 100 billion years, an intelligent extraterrestrial civilization could be isolated, and need more power as the universe continues to expand.

In the article, Hooper explains that these aliens may need to use stars as an alternative energy source.

Hooper suggests that this civilization will attract stars and unleash their power using the Dyson energy structure, a type of theoretical structure, described by science fiction writer Olaf Stapledon. in the novel "Star Maker" , and this structure was also proposed and popularized by physicist Freeman Dyson.

Not only is the nature of searching for a source of artificial infrared radiation from the star, Dyson's energy structure is also a theoretical structure, built around a star, satellite and how to collect magnetic energy. them.

In his article, Hooper extended this idea, saying that advanced civilization could "use the collected energy to push those stars to the center of civilization, where they would be lost." force gravity, and be protected from the expansion of the universe in the future ".

However, many people dismiss the idea that an alien civilization might "catch" stars to meet their energy needs in the future. According to Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, Hooper's thesis is more creative than practical, since there is no clear point of view that correlates with modern space science.
