That's a giant claim you just made like it's fact.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> That's a giant claim you just made like it's fact. You are correct. That is absolutely a thing I did.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoBut it doesn't make any sense, given we do not have good evidence of alien civilizations, not to mention Dyson spheres.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> But it doesn't make any sense, given we do not have good evidence of alien civilizations, not to mention Dyson spheres. Also correct. Even past that, we haven't been mass-cataloging stars long enough for a Dyson sphere to be constructed and remove a star from our view.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoSo why make the initial claim "And we know civilizations can afford those because we can no longer see their stars."? Is it humor or irony I'm missing?
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoThe absurdity of it makes me happy.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoFair enough. Poisoning the well for giggles.

- ianburrell 3y agoIt is especially big claim because there have been recent searches for Dyson Spheres and none of have been found. I think the Gaia spacecraft covered most of the visible half of the galaxy. Dyson Spheres would be really obvious, emitting infrared radiation unlike normal stars.
