RE: Did we just discover a Type II Alien Civilization? (not popsci or science fiction)

I dont know this is conclusive proof, but the numbers do support that there is other life out there. Given thats not such a far fetched idea anymore....who knows, suppose its definitely inside the realm of possibility.

@jayceace23 I tend to agree. Furthermore I still can't get other the idea that opaque material is increasing in surface area. My napkin math shows if this was debris it would need to be a Jupiter sized rocky planet and it would need to be beings smashed to bits.

I'm willing to accept any answer, that makes more sense. I was totally convinced by the interstellar gas cloud argument. But this, I dunno I guess it just feels compelling. I sure hope the paper's authors stop by and either set me straight or give a wink and a nob to this theory.

I mean really, you get to name a star anything you want if you discover it. She chooses to name it "WTF". That's just cool!
