As we humans grow in numbers and technological sophistication, we will need to generate more and more energy for our use. That likely means ever more reliance on renewable sources of energy like solar ...

Do you ever question the nature of your reality? Are you real? Or are you a product of some complex computer simulation? What ...

In 1960, physicist Freeman Dyson put forth a paper in Science that changed the way we talked about alien civilizations. In it, Dyson conjectured that a sufficiently advanced civilization would harness ...

Extraterrestrials could use Dyson spheres to harvest black holes. The secret to this technique is to choose the right place—like the black hole's corona—to collect energy. Bonus: we can use the energy ...

Dyson spheres, the hypothetical mega-structures that advanced alien civilizations might use to enclose a star and harness its energy, suffer from a fatal flaw: They are catastrophically unstable. But ...

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has been conducted for nearly 60 years. A Dyson Sphere, a spherical structure that surrounds a star and transports its radiative energy outward as ...

The Dyson Sphere is one of the hallmarks of looking for intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. Scientists say that if we manage to find one, we can be sure that it's a super-advanced ...

The Dyson Sphere concept is a staple of science fiction, from Star Trek to the novels of Larry Niven, and it sounds like a dream come true: a way to harvest almost all of the immense energy output of ...

There are three ways to look for evidence of alien technological civilizations. One is to look out for deliberate attempts by them to communicate their existence, for example, through radio broadcasts ...

Recently, according to Live Science, the results of two scientific studies have been released that could, if verified, prove the existence of advanced alien civilizations elsewhere in the universe ...
