Matías Suazo, a Ph.D. student at Uppsala University's Department of Physics and Astronomy, is searching for a very specific signal in the night sky. Suazo is part of a growing number of scientists who believe we might be able to observe telltale traces of space megastructures, called Dyon spheres, built by intelligent alien life.
In an interview with Inverse, Suazo said that, in theory, it is "complicated, but not impossible" to find a Dyson sphere in the Milky Way. The Ph.D. student and a team of astronomers released a new paper in the summer exploring the possibility of finding one of the massive machines in our home galaxy. Such a discovery would finally provide evidence that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.
