- Intelligence Sign
In summary, the conversation discusses the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence and the potential for advanced alien civilizations to build a Dyson Sphere, a hypothetical structure that could harness the energy of a star. The participants also mention the possibility of a Dyson "swarm" of satellites and the idea that the first solar-powered satellites could be the beginning of such a swarm. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the lack of contact from extraterrestrial beings and the potential for advanced technology beyond our current understanding.

I think that cockroaches are extraterrestrial. Thats for sure. If you cut their head off, they died by inanition in a few days. That is horrible! And also they are intelligent, they leaves you in peace when they want, not when you want no matter you use poisson or not.

The best proof of extra terrestrial intelligence is that they never contacted us...

I think this image displays the best yet sign of extraterrestrail intelligence, the sign that SETI missed.

Energy shortage?
Any advanced alien civilization which had enough excess energy to build a 'Dyson Sphere' would certainly not need to build one to get more energy.

You may mistake a Dyson shell for a Dyson "swarm" of satellites. The later could start in the near future. One could argue that the first satellite using solar power were the first part of a Dyson "swarm".Gil Fuller said:

Related to Best sign of extraterrestrial intelligence?
1. What is the best sign of extraterrestrial intelligence?
The best sign of extraterrestrial intelligence would be the detection of technosignatures, which are signs of advanced technology that could only be created by an intelligent civilization. This could include radio signals, laser beams, or even structures on other planets or moons.
2. Have we ever detected any potential signs of extraterrestrial intelligence?
There have been several instances where scientists have detected potential signals or anomalies that could be signs of extraterrestrial intelligence. However, none of these have been confirmed and are still being studied.
3. How likely is it that we will ever find evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence?
It is difficult to determine the likelihood of finding evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Many scientists believe that it is highly probable that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, but the vastness of space and our limited technology make it challenging to detect and confirm this evidence.
4. What are some other potential signs of extraterrestrial intelligence?
In addition to technosignatures, other potential signs of extraterrestrial intelligence could include changes in a planet's atmosphere that could indicate the presence of life, unusual patterns in starlight that could be caused by structures or objects, or even the discovery of artifacts or artifacts on other planets or moons.
5. How do scientists search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence?
Scientists use a variety of methods to search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence, including radio telescopes, optical telescopes, and space missions. They also study data from various space missions, such as the Kepler mission, to search for exoplanets that could potentially support life. Scientists also use mathematical and statistical models to analyze data and look for patterns that could indicate the presence of intelligent life.
