    Question Over 700 Stars Mysteriously Vanished In The Last 70 Years, But Why?

    • Over 700 Stars Mysteriously Vanished In The Last 70 Years, But Why?:

    Articles/Links:

    Comparing a 70-year-old survey with recent images of the night sky, astronomers have discovered that 100 stars may have gone dark. Those vanishing light sources could be short-lived flashes in the night or possibly, the disappearance of a long-lasting star. These preliminary findings almost certainly represent natural and well-understood events, but there is the hope that they could indicate technological civilizations elsewhere.

    These astronomers will give us an update on the search for vanishing stars two years after their discovery. They’ll discuss the possibility that we are seeing unknown phenomena or that the vanished “stars” could be relics of technologically advanced civilizations, particularly the theoretical mega-engineering projects known as Dyson spheres. Either way, this discovery has turned up something that may become very important for both astrophysical and SETI investigations.



    Beatriz Villarroel is the principal investigator of the Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations (VASCO) project. She got her master’s degree in 2012, the same year she received the Crafoord stipend for young researchers from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In 2017, Villarroel received her Ph.D. from Uppsala University for research on active galactic nuclei and soon after started her first postdoc at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Since 2018, she is a postdoctoral researcher at Nordita in Stockholm (Sweden) and IAC Tenerife (Spain). This year, Villarroel received the L’Oreal-UNESCO For Women in Science prize in Sweden for her work on VASCO and the searches for vanishing stars (and ET).



    James Davenport is a Research Assistant Professor of Astronomy at the University of Washington and the Associate Director of the DiRAC Institute. His research focuses on survey astronomy, using large volumes of data from observatories and telescopes worldwide (and in space!) to study nearby stars in the Milky Way. Davenport is an expert in the magnetic activity behavior of stars, including hot flares and cool spots on their surface, and is interested in understanding how these events may impact life. He has also become an advocate for using big data techniques to search for intelligent life in the universe and is leading multiple data-driven technosignature projects over the next five years.

    Can this unsolved cosmological mystery be added to the list of possible evidence for the multiverse theory?

    If you believe in black holes in which celestial matter is sucked into a convoluted, spiraling of space such as is our galaxy which is exiting from the swirling center of what on its other side is a black hole, then there should be no question of where "x" number of stars are vanishing to. The doughnut shape of our universe which has been suggested is only simple on its outer surface. Its interior convolutions are turning and twisting and extremely ultra dimensional. Things disappear and reappear as frequencies influence each other.

    I know this might seem a bit 'Geeky' but the episode in Star Trek-Next Generation where they encounter a 'Dyson Sphere' community (abandoned) plus they also find 'Scottie' held in the transport system in a diagnostic loop was particularly good, and forward thinking of the writers!

    Could you tell me the name of these two episodes?

    Thanks...

    It's the one episode, and it was called 'Relics', and was in season six of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
