Scientists Use 'Dyson Sphere' , Signature to Search for , Potential Alien Life.<br />Decades ago, physicist Freeman Dyson theorized that a <br />shell made of solar panels that surrounds a star would be <br />the ultimate energy solution for an advanced civilization. .<br />One should expect that, within a few <br />thousand years of its entering the stage <br />of industrial development, any intelligent <br />species should be found occupying an <br />artificial biosphere which completely <br />surrounds its parent star, Freeman Dyson, 1960 paper, via CNN.<br />CNN reports that the concept took <br />hold and the hypothetical megastructures<br />have come to be called Dyson spheres. .<br />At the time, Dyson suggested that <br />these spheres would emit waste heat <br />as detectable infrared radiation.<br />The British American physicist suggested <br />that this unique radiation signature could <br />be a way of finding extraterrestrial life. .<br />It would be much more <br />rewarding to search directly <br />for intelligence, but technology <br />is the only thing we have <br />any chance of seeing, Matías Suazo, Lead study author and a doctoral student <br />in the department of physics and astronomy <br />of Uppsala University in Sweden, via CNN.<br />A new study searched five million stars in the Milky Way <br />galaxy to find seven candidates that could potentially <br />be home to an advanced civilization's Dyson sphere.<br />It’s difficult for us to find <br />an explanation for these sources, <br />because we don’t have enough <br />data to prove what is the real <br />cause of the infrared glow, Matías Suazo, Lead study author and a doctoral student in <br />the department of physics and astronomy of <br />Uppsala University in Sweden, via CNN.<br />It’s difficult for us to find <br />an explanation for these sources, <br />because we don’t have enough <br />data to prove what is the real <br />cause of the infrared glow, Matías Suazo, Lead study author and a doctoral student in <br />the department of physics and astronomy of <br />Uppsala University in Sweden, via CNN.<br />They could be Dyson spheres, <br />because they behave like our <br />models predict, but they could <br />be something else as well, Matías Suazo, Lead study author and a doctoral student <br />in the department of physics and astronomy <br />of Uppsala University in Sweden, via CNN.<br />The team's findings were published <br />in the journal 'Monthly Notices of <br />the Royal Astronomical Society.'
