A mind-bending new theory suggests that advanced alien civilizations could be manipulating stars to travel the cosmos. Proposed by philosopher Clement Vidal of Vrije University Brussels, this idea posits that instead of building spaceships, aliens might be harnessing the power of entire star systems for interstellar travel.
The concept centers around binary star systems, which consist of two stars orbiting each other. Vidal believes that by carefully manipulating the gravitational forces within these systems, an advanced civilization could potentially steer them in a specific direction. This could involve ejecting material from one of the stars, creating a kind of cosmic propulsion system.
While this idea may sound like science fiction, Vidal points to real-world astronomical phenomena like "black widow" and "redback" pulsars as potential examples of such manipulation. However, it's important to note that these celestial bodies are likely natural occurrences, not the work of extraterrestrial engineers.
Despite the speculative nature of this theory, it sparks intriguing questions about the possibilities of interstellar travel and the potential existence of advanced civilizations beyond our own. As our understanding of the universe continues to expand, we may uncover more clues about the mysteries of the cosmos and the potential for extraterrestrial life.
