Cosmologist Claims Aliens May Be Hoarding Stars for Power

• Theoretical astrophysicist Dan Hooper from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has written a new study entitled “Life Versus Dark Energy: How An Advanced Civilization Could Resist the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe”.

• Hooper says that the universe is expanding at such an accelerated rate that civilizations like ours will start to see stars disappear over the horizon of the universe like ships on the ocean.

• Hopper’s solution is the use of “Dyson spheres”, or structures build around a star to harness its energy and to pull the star into a stable position to use as an energy source. This star energy could be used to navigate the galaxy from star to star and to potentially ‘conquer the universe’. Hopper calls this “stellar harvesting” and it could be going on right now.

“We also discuss the observable signatures of a civilization elsewhere in the universe that is currently in this state of stellar harvesting.”

Stellar harvesting! If this were a movie, the opening would show a scientist played by Jeff Goldblum peering into a telescope, then looking up, rubbing his eyes, peering in again, then looking up again with a suitably concerned face, turning to a scientist played by Jodie Foster and saying, “You need to take a look at this!” In the real-life version, “this” is a Dyson sphere – one of those alien-built megastructures imagined to be large enough to surround a star and harvest its energy – except “this” is actually “these” … and it may not be your imagination.

Theoretical astrophysicist Dan Hooper from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has written a new study entitled “Life Versus Dark Energy: How An Advanced Civilization Could Resist the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe” in which he lays out the scenario of how and why “… a sufficiently advanced civilization would chose to expand rapidly outward, build Dyson Spheres or similar structures around encountered stars, and use the energy that is harnessed to accelerate those stars away from the approaching horizon and toward the center of the civilization.”
