If you assume that this alien race can generate impossible amounts of energy, isn't it also reasonable to assume that they use a propulsion technology outside of our current level of understanding? Even if they use unfathomable amounts of energy, it could be completely outside of our ability to detect it.
Plenty of wildlife biologists do hide from their subjects when they know their presence will disturb the subjects. Why wouldn't an alien race do the same when observing humans?
- api 9y agoI find it quite silly when after having done science seriously for less than 200 years we think we understand all of physics, especially when our models clearly have gaping holes and contradictions. Nevertheless you don't even need new physics for this line of speculation. Fusion rockets will do.
- valuearb 9y agoFusion rockets are easily detectable. Essentially they would decelerate by sending an HBombs amount of particles our direction every few seconds.
