I have been studying information on Tabby's star recently.
This star is known as Kic 8462852. It is the star that has had unusual dimming of the light from it. Several theories were put forth with the most logical being comets.
Observations of this star dating back to 1890 show a dimming of its light at up to 20% over random intervals.
Lets put this in perspective of size. The star itself is two times bigger than our sun. Imagine trying to block out 40% of the light coming from our sun. Jupiter is 1,000 times smaller than our sun. It would take an object 400 times the size of Jupiter to accomplish this. We are talking about random massive objects.
Scientist propose a Dyson Sphere as the culprit. A device theorized to harness the suns power. The dimming is random so the Dyson Sphere is being added to and subtracted from at times.
Imagine, we are 1,400 light years from this star. A Dyson Sphere would be a solitary object. Lets pretend its a Dyson Sphere for a second. Every civilization for light years away can see it. Are the aliens building it friendly and nobody wants to stop them or are the aliens hostile and nobody can stop them.
What would an alien civilization need that much power for? How far in advance of us is this species? Thousands to millions of years? Maybe a billion?
I propose if intelligent life exist on worlds that can see the dimming it will draw in hundreds to millions of species. All curious as to the cause.
Lets get back to the whole issue of good vs evil. Imagine they are good. They would have to be friends with every single species who can see the light from their star. They would then need to move on to consume other stars power after Tabby's star. Good vs evil is very subjective, its more a question of survival. If you need that level of power, your neighbors are not going to be pleased when you start putting up Dyson Sphere's all over the neighborhood.
Imagine a species capable of defending a Dyson Sphere. How long does it take to built one? Light from stars is a glimpse into the past. We are seeing what occurred 1,400 years ago. Imagine, we send a ship and the Dyson Sphere is built already. If we send a ship how many other species will also investigate? How many will send fleets?
Which brings me to my point. I don't think we are looking at a solitary stationary object. It would be too hard to defend from too many species. I propose, we are seeing a massive alien space fleet.
The ships would have to be enormous. Maybe that system is a docking station. Ships entering and leaving dim the stars light. The fleet is mobile and able to run from even more advanced E.T.'s. A fleet would explain their ability to defend themselves. A Dyson Sphere would require construction. How massive are the ships doing the construction?
I propose humanity watch, but go no where near that system. They are way to advanced for us. Even a probe which broadcast a signal could give Earth away. Imagine, Earth vs a species capable of building a Dyson Sphere or possessing a massive space fleet with ships many times the size of Earth.
A world security council meeting should be held and plans made to intercept and stop anything between Earth and Tabby's star.
If there is a natural cause for the dimming, great. The fact that its consistent, random, and massive warrants caution.
Especially, the massive part.
