Occam's razor, plain and simple.
If the strange variations in that star's brightness turned out to be caused by an alien civilization, that would be way, way cool. But before we jump to conclusions, we should explore more mundane explanations; given the unusual observations, it should still be very interesting, whatever the cause.
- vectorjohn 11y agoNobody, not the article or any of the comments, seem to have jumped to any conclusions. The article suggested possibilities, including comets. And reasons why it might not be that. And it included aliens, and some things that would be expected if it was that. All depending on more data which the article explained, they are waiting to collect.
