Over at The Economist there ’s an interesting clause about raw plans to seek intelligent spirit in the universe by looking for the signs of what we think an advanced culture would create . To brain : immense contrived worlds like the aura worlds in Halo or Ringworld . Or Dyson Spheres , which designate up once on Star Trek . The Allen telescope , an array of dishes being construct in the California mountains , will be aim probable Dyson Sphere system .
The Economist explains :
Freeman Dyson ’s theme that a unfeignedly technologically advanced species would endeavour to catch as much light as possible by build a globular shell around its central star . Such so - call Dyson heavens would , if they live , reradiate captured energy ( after some of it had been put to beneficial consumption ) as warmth - infra - red radiation sickness .

This radiation can be discover although Dyson spheres remain difficult to distinguish from natural astronomical objective that give off similar signature . The parentage and last phases of stars , for example , are affiliate with heavy detritus clouds that give off an infra - red signal which might resemble the swarm of contrived artificial satellite constituting a Dyson sphere .
So far , few uranologist have conducted hunting for Dyson spheres - and none has been successful . But [ subatomic particle physicist ] Dr Dick Carrigan still mean it is deserving trying . He has been catalogue possible candidates from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite , a collaboration between America , Britain and the Netherlands that conducted the first space - based survey of the integral sky at infra - red wavelength and located hundreds of thousands of sources . On his website he offers baksheesh for unskilled cosmic archaeologist who wish well to hunt for Dyson spheres . An investigating of SETI signals from the 13 “ least implausible Dyson sphere prospect ” is planned for the Allen scope .
You ’ll want to scan the whole article about the Allen telescope – it ’s really an interesting project that ’s totally devoted to seeking out intelligent life history beyond Earth .
