Did Scientists Discover Alien Mega-Structures?

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical structure that is believed to encircle a star and harness a large portion of the star’s energy to sustain the energy demands of a post-scarcity society.

This idea was proposed by the physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960 and refers to a solution to the energy needs of a civilization that is classified as Type II in the Kardashev Scale that defines the advancement of a civilization according to the energy it is able to harness.

Dyson sphere could be a solid shell, a swarm of solar collecting satellites or a number of habitats and energy collectors orbiting a star. It would be impossible to build a solid shell; however, the Dyson swarm seems like a more reasonable solution wherein there are many separate solar panels or living spaces. Dyson spheres are a popular subject in sci-fi movies as they represent the pinnacle of technological achievement and the ability to capture stellar power at a degree never seen before. While at the present moment it remains a speculation, Dyson spheres are searched in infrared data as signals indicating the presence of such structures around certain stars.
