The hypothesis is testable - we've been observing and calculating the behavior of black holes and other astronomical objects for decades. This paper is looking for stuff that is physically possible but unlikely to occur naturally. What test would you like to see, short of "yep there are aliens"?
- zeagle 2y agoIs it tho? Correct me if I'm wrong but black holes, although pretty whimsical when first proposed, are an explanation for aspects of general relativity with indirectly observable phenomenon, not speculation on how aliens derive energy. It's important to recognize and push through biases and recognize there is a role for theoretical work but theoretical or particle physics is different to whatever encompasses Kardashev scales, Dyson spheres and other thought experiments. I think I'll just agree to disagree here.
