Dyson sphere might be used to harvest energy from black holes by Aliens

Technology-savvy aliens could be powering their society using a hypothetical megastructure called a Dyson sphere to harvest energy from a black hole. And the sphere might radiate in peculiar ways, allowing telescopes on Earth to discover the existence of intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe, a new study suggests.

A Dyson sphere is a speculative structure that would encircle a star with a tight formation of orbiting platforms in order to capture starlight and produce power. First proposed by theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960, the idea might be realized by a spacefaring extraterrestrial species who had spread out across their star system and therefore required ever-increasing amounts of energy. Dyson's answer is the Dyson sphere, or "a hollow ball built around the sun would solve the space and energy problems," according to his paper. Therefore, it's a theoretical device that sits around an entire star and harvests its energy. Its goal is to help power a civilization whose energy demands have simply eclipsed their planet's natural potential. It's part of Dyson's broader suggestion that the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) should set their sights on the kind of energy signature that such an item could discharge.

Another civilization, with even higher energy demands than what we've outlined above, might decide to deploy a Dyson sphere around a black hole, which is where these researchers began their work. Their goal is to explore the power needs of a civilization making the jump from a type 2 to a type 3 civilization, which could be Earth in as little as 1,000 years, according to their scientific napkin math. But is it at all feasible to use a black hole as you'd harness the energy of the sun or another star?

"In this paper, we consider and discuss six types of energy sources: the CMB, the Hawking radiation, an accretion disk, Bondi accretion, a corona, and the relativistic jets from two types of black holes: a non-rotating black hole and a rotating black hole," the researchers explain. This method, they say, is more intensive than previous attempts to study black hole energy-harvesting, which have only explored the accretion disk (the structure of a black hole that you typically picture) or the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the electromagnetic radiation that remains from the earliest stages of the universe.

RPA - UiPath

What is RPA? RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology which let organization to make their task easy by allowing them to automate the task just like a human being was doing them across application and systems. The purpose of RPA is to transfer the process execution from humans to bots. Robotic process automation interacts with the existing IT architecture with no complex system integration required. UiPath - The vendor UiPath is a New York City-based global software company that develops a platform for robotic process automation (RPA). The company's software monitors user activity to automate repetitive front and back office tasks, including those performed using other business software such as customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. UiPath develops software to automate repetitive digital tasks normally performed by people. The technology combines emulating how humans read computer screens (AI Computer Vision) with APIs, and give

Some Pseudoscience and myths we still believe

Hi frnd, In this post I have mentioned some science fact and myth, among which some myth are not properly proof by science yet. But we still used to believe in that. That are also known as Pseudoscience. Bad Small Can Make You Sick According to the once-popular miasma theory, diseases were caused by "bad air." Miasma is the name for this foul-smelling, poisonous vapor that carried particles of decaying matter. In 1854, epidemiologists traced a deadly outbreak of cholera to water contamination. Discovering no organic matter in the water that was undoubtedly causing all the cholera, John Snow debunked miasma theory by proving that cholera is a waterborne disease. Soon, germ theory caught on and miasma flew out the window. Diffrent Parts of Tongue Have Different Taste Maybe this is one you learned in school, and maybe even still believe. Sorry, the idea that the tip of your tongue picks up sour tastes, or the middle of your tongue processes sweetness, or whatever, i

Alien could be discovered on this new class of 'Hycean' exoplanet.

In the discovery for Alien life, astronomers have mostly looked for planets of a similar size, mass, temperature, and atmospheric composition to Earth. Recently, the team of astronomers find a class of planets that may prove the existence of Alien Life. Such exoplanets are more numerous in planetary surveys than rocky ones, which means they could be fertile territory in the search for alien life. The researchers have dubbed them 'Hycean' worlds. In the new study, researchers identify one such class of alien worlds "Hycean" planets, which are up to 2.5 times larger than Earth and feature huge oceans of liquid water beneath hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Hycean planets appear to be incredibly abundant throughout the Milky Way galaxy, and they could host microbial life similar to the "extremophiles" that thrive in some of Earth's harshest environments, study team members said. "Hycean planets open a whole new avenue in our search for life elsewhere,"
