It seems that humans are looking forward to finding aliens. So much so that astrophysicist Zaza Osmanov dares to say without a doubt that from Earth we can see mega extraterrestrial structures orbiting 64 stars nearby.
The mega extraterrestrial structures of which Zaza Osmanov speaks
Two years ago a peculiar star was discovered whose mysterious brilliance varied and was coming down surprisingly and unnaturally. It was known as KIC 8462852, or the Star of Tabby, in homage to its discoverers.
The phenomenon was so surprising, that all sorts of theories about the star soon emerged, including that the drop in brightness could be due to a rotating alien mega-structure similar to the so-called Dyson Spheres, capable of blocking the light from these stars and harness their energy.
And now Professor Zaza Osmanov of the University of Tbilisi in Georgia, Europe, has coined a theory that he is not the only star visible from Earth. In fact, with the current technology at our disposal, we can observe this and similar stars.
The 64 mega extraterrestrial structures of Osmanov
Using the VLTI, the Southern European Observatory with a very long distance interferometer telescope, claims that it has been able to detect up to 64 nearby stars possessing these mega alien structures around them.
As Osmanov confirms, these extraterrestrial structures could resemble a group of multiple discs in the form of spherical shields. For him, these gigantic objects would be located in the habitable zone of stars like Tabby, where there might even be planets with liquid water, necessary for life as we know it on Earth.
So, according to the astrophysicist, the search for structures across the infrared spectrum is very promising. Obviously they need a huge amount of material for them to be built. Therefore, to overcome these difficulties, they have proposed a certain extension of the idea of the Dyson Sphere.
Clearly, these structures would require less material than if they were spheres. In this way, they would have made rings capable of significantly disturbing the radiation emitted by the star. That is, with their rapid rotation, these structures are capable of collecting a lot of energy, but to be where Osmanov says it is located, it would need a huge amount of material, much more than there is on planets, asteroids or comets that are usually located in solar systems.
