    It’s not convincing because it’s impossible to hide. You always produce waste heat which would be visible (if you use 100W of solar power, you dissipate 100W in deep infra red into space)

    We would expect to see stars putting out an amount of energy for a bright star, but in deep IR as they’re wrapped in Dyson spheres or swarms

      If you have a sun nearby then will someone notice the lag?
