I don't like that theory, it's completely limited by our current understanding of how a "more advanced" civilization would look like. If we haven't seen signs of what we think more advanced civilizations would look like, the simplest explanation is that what we think advanced civilizations are like is wrong
- oska 6y agoI agree. Saying that a Dyson Sphere is something that an 'extremely advanced civilization would build' presumes that we can project the course of civilization. Seems presumptuous and short sighted to me.
- Gibbon1 6y agoYeah a Dyson Sphere contains the presumption that an advanced alien civilization's population would grow exponentially like earths population did in the 20th century. I don't know how you square a utterly stupid idea like exponential population growth with the word advanced in advanced civilization. Instead this sounds like blinkered mid twentieth century thinking. Or the old science fiction trope of seeing the future as like the present but more of it.
