This might be a nice reason, moving to a new home, or conversely, fire or any other accident or misfortune. How long did Mars planetary dynamo take to turn off? it apears my earlier comments hit a few nerves. They are wasting their time and money searching for a modulated radio signal transmitted by an alien intelligence. (Recently the Hubble resolved Polaris A and Ab optically.) Flashing coloured lights. There may be a fraction of a femto-watt left from a million watt signal to detect after after traveling a light year or two through dust, gas and whatever else is in space. Arthur C. Clarke wrote about this concept in his novel “The City And The Stars” more than fifty years ago, like this:The concept can be an expression of art at the grandiosest scale.It is a very good thing that crackpot ideas (ideas that makes everyone say ‘What the heck are you thinkin’ “) get people thinking and talking to each other about new ideas, possibilities, dreams. **Intersteller bar billiards? Where would information besides ‘theres something strange’ be stored?

Perhaps we should go back and re-explore some things we looked at in the past, where we wrote them off as being “natural occurring events”.

What if intelligent life is so rare (as some people think) that we eventually discover that we’re the only civilization in the Milky Way? For the record, I clearly understand the power of bizarre, off the wall, creative thinking. No one would notice.To significantly alter the positions of stars would require controlling more energy than the kinetic energy of the star’s orbit around the Milky Way. Send out a fleet of these spacecraft to tinker with the orbits of Kuiper Belt objects. Moving stars around! And a modulated coherent laser is just as useless for galactic communication. Isn’t there an easier way to do the same thing, i.e., communicate?” I can see, e.g., Scientologists coming up with something this weird as a way of aliens trying to communicate with other civilizations, but not scientists or engineers who know what they’re doing. I say, “Hat’s off to the crackpots!” Agree or disagree, yes absolutely, but keep thinking and arguing and disagreeing and growing and learning and understanding and evolving. From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English stare stare 1 / steə $ ster / S3 W2 verb [intransitive] 1 LOOK AT to look at something or someone for a long time without moving your eyes, for example because you are surprised, angry, or bored stare at What are you staring at? We’re talking fantastic amounts of energy. And then I’ll know.

If I was doing this, I would set up a system with stars of the proper masses to have a consellation of four stars, with the smallest stars in the L4 and L5 positions.I don’t think it’s at all likely that a civilization would move stars around as a signal to other civilizations in the same galaxy. Then I saw lights. I’ve always wondered about Polaris, which is a close binary pair of a Cephid variable and a sun-like star, with a third companion much further away.We can make all sorts of interesting guesses about how that system came to be, but “natural” doesn’t fit very well.On the other hand, maybe it is a nested binary system like the one proposed.

If the stars are falling on the roof of the house, it means, that people who live in it, will soon leave his house. I bet you most of those same scientist smoked more then any rasta I’ve ever met.I think what the person who came up with this concept is doing is trying to get us to think outside the box more than anything else.Besides, some day this galaxy will be reconfigured by an intelligent species, whether it be us or someone else.Look for weapons effects and engineering projects. Think of it as a giant light house.this has gotta be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read from Astronomy.Such star formations could already have been formed. : stirring or evoking strong feelings or emotions, especially touchingly or pathetically: Sure, it would take forever, but by then we are likely to living an awful lot longer than we do now, and once we’ve spread out across the Milky Way will our thirst for knowledge be quenched? And More…Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Could Primordial Black Holes Deflect Asteriods on a Collision Course with Earth? Far away obsrevers will not mistake the intent.It’s so obvious now! Would we just give up looking or would we begin attempts to contact other civilizations amongst the millions of galaxies out there? It is much easier to detect motion toward or away from Earth, than side-to-side motion. I’m going to dig a big big hole, fill it with water and try to catch a neutrino. Why not create a giant light reflector and make it orbit around a few large stars to create a light beam effect.. By the time you reach that level of sophistication, there are other less difficult and much more reliable ways to seek out contact with other intelligent species.For one, building a series of humongous telescopes in deep space in different parts of the galaxy to observe stars at a distance for signs of life. The problem with “moving stars around for communication purposes” goes so far beyond anything that makes sense, it is totally ridiculous. I heard a repetitive muffled voice. You can either send material by a star on a trajectory that will not allow the star to gravitationally capture it, or you can send material toward a star so it will go into orbit around the star. Perhaps it’s a hint to turn all our radio transmitters to the center of that display and tune in to their signal. Does Polaris B have a faint companion which is right now behind–or in front of–Polaris B from our vantage point.

I don’t think so.So, given that there might be other civilizations out there in other galaxies that are already at this point in their evolution, perhaps we should be looking for signs of stellar engineering, not inside the Milky Way, but out there, in Andromeda, M81, and so on.
