Scientists say aliens may be harnessing energy from black holes
Imagine a super-advanced alien civilization that needs insane amounts of energy way beyond our puny solar panels and wind ...
Black holes can release enormous energy through hot disks, surrounding plasma and powerful jets, enough to support a ...
Is anybody out there? Probably. Most stars have planets; we've discovered more than 6,000 exoplanets thus far, and the most basic statistics point toward the existence of countless potentially ...
Elon Musk’s plans for the future of SpaceX, and humanity, are rooted in an idea conceived in the 1960s when astronomers began to pick up mysterious, unknown radio sources in the cosmos. Soviet ...

In 1995, a pair of scientists discovered a planet outside our solar system orbiting a solar-type star. Since that finding—which won the scientists a portion of the 2019 Nobel Prize in ...
Astronomers may have been listening for alien civilizations in only a small slice of the radio spectrum while overlooking a largely unexplored range of higher frequencies. Using archived data from the ...
“There is a silence in the night sky that has bothered me for as long as I can remember.” That line, attributed to Richard Feynman, lands because it gets at a simple, stubborn feeling. The sky looks ...
For decades, SETI researchers have focused on finding narrow-band radio signals that might stand out from the natural universe. But what if an advanced civilization that wanted to communicate would ...
In 1961, Dr Frank Drake proposed a probabilistic, though highly speculative, equation to determine the number of intelligent ...
They’re hole-ar powered. If super-advanced alien civilizations exist, they would surely require insane amounts of energy to ...
