| 11:55.00 | drom | So I want to buy something from there, I got to go there and find myself the books I'm looking for |

| 21:05.10 | Ghel | If anything it seems to hint at the griefer hypothesis as a solution to the Fermi paradox: a supercivilisation keeping within their dyson spheres, spread out across the universe to avoid being noticed, then firing upon any fledgeling spacefarers to wipe them out before they become a threat. |
| 21:05.46 | Roboticking | not a warming hypthosis |
| 21:06.04 | Wormy_ | What about kindly assimilation? |
| 21:06.15 | Roboticking | but don't the spheres release waste as infrared |
| 21:06.26 | Wormy_ | They might come and transcend us all at once |
| 21:06.29 | Hachiman | Remember Clarke's Law |
| 21:06.57 | TekDroid | What's going on? |
| 21:07.11 | Wormy_ | Robot's right, either they are too dim for detection or there is only this griefer civ |
| 21:07.15 | Ghel | Maybe, Wormy. And Robot, this structure would still be emitting infrared, just not as much as the dust cloud that would be expected to coincide with any other explanation for the observed dimming. |
| 21:07.37 | Wormy_ | I will say this though |
| 21:07.41 | Wormy_ | One astrophysicist said that there could be matrioska brains next door so dim we can't detect them, and that was not long before this Infrared survey. |
| 21:08.07 | Wormy_ | There must be some uncertainty in that survey |
| 21:08.08 | Ghel | The thing is, the strength of the Fermi paradox is "it only takes one": it would only take one civilisation in 100,000 galaxies to do something noticeable to us and we'd already know that exist. |
| 21:08.50 | Ghel | If you want to be optimistic in your views of the future, that means potentially millions of species have all decided not to do anything that could draw our attention. |
| 21:09.24 | Wormy_ | Optimistic? I believe if not others, we could be the civilisation that astroengineers the universe. |
| 21:09.33 | Roboticking | ghel |
| 21:09.42 | TekDroid | I assume this is the stellar luminosity dip that's being hypothesized as megastructures? |
| 21:09.58 | Roboticking | yes |
| 21:10.00 | Wormy_ | Yes, in tight formation around a star in this galaxy |
| 21:10.14 | Ghel | So the way I see it, any solution to the Fermi paradox (besides a huge scarcity of intelligent species) must also rely on equally strong reasoning: it only takes one civilisation to do [something] to prevent any other civilisation to being noticeable. So the griefer hypothesis is one such solution. As is friendly assimilation, etc. |
| 21:10.52 | Roboticking | ghel, I meant as in the complete spheres release very little waste as infared, making it difficult to dtect te complete structures |
| 21:10.53 | Ghel | Either way, it would imply there's a civilisation capable of systematically exerting its will over nearly every spacefaring species in at least 100,000 galaxies, and probably more. |
| 21:10.59 | Roboticking | detect the* |
| 21:11.30 | Wormy_ | I can see this idea stronger than "they are too alien", actually, because not all alien intelligences have to be Truly Alien. Not unless their technology becomes so subtle after a brief period of time that we can't see them easily. |
| 21:11.49 | Ghel | Yes, it would be difficult to detect individual structures. But a huge number of them would significantly alter the ratio of visible to infrared light being emitted by a galaxy, and that's what the survey took advantage of. |
| 21:11.59 | Roboticking | ah |
| 21:12.44 | Ghel | That also answers your similar concern when you mentioned the "Matrisoskha brains next door so dim we can't detect them", Wormy. |
| 21:13.24 | Wormy_ | Fair enough, such beings would have to choose not to expand for whatever reason that might be |
| 21:13.48 | Ghel | And yes, "they are too alien" is one of those explanations that would apply for many species, but by no means should apply to all of them. Practically every "explanation" for the Fermi paradox falls into that category. |
| 21:14.30 | Wormy_ | If that is so, then a supercivilisation wouldn't be very effective at destroying them early after-all - and thats when we need to think about multiple explanations |
| 21:14.45 | Ghel | There'll be some that suffer setbacks before becoming interplanetary, those that decide interstellar travel is too expensive and give up, those that don't see the point in building megastructures, those that want to keep themselves hidden, those that have a sort of "Prime Directive" against pre-spacefaring species, etc, etc, etc. |
| 21:15.20 | Wormy_ | Or those that discover some mysterious physics we have no knowledge in yet? |
| 21:15.21 | Ghel | But given enough spacefaring species, there'll eventually be some that slip through the gaps and become obvious. And it only takes one. |
| 21:15.44 | Ghel | That's another example, yes. I'm sure we could list dozens without even trying too hard. |
| 21:15.46 | Wormy_ | Photino-bird like aliens |
| 21:16.32 | Wormy_ | Anyway, I wouldn't get too excited |
| 21:16.41 | Ghel | As for the supercivilisation failing to destroy some aliens: that could well have happened too. But then I expect the survivors will never be able to make themselves obvious to us unless they somehow find us and make contact. |
| 21:17.18 | Wormy_ | We'd have to rule out other phenomena in this system, potentially things we haven't even thought about before - exciting in its own right |
| 21:17.48 | Ghel | Comets is still looking the most likely explanation AFAIK. |
| 21:18.34 | Ghel | The paper itself is pretty exhaustive when it comes to phenomena we do know. It even considers planets being destroyed. |
| 21:18.55 | Wormy_ | There is some anthropic/multiverse explanations that argue we might be the only life in the observable universe. But I find them a bit dull and hard to believe, quite frankly. |
| 21:21.38 | TekDroid | Yeah, the paper covers quite a few. Though it was rather uncertain on all of them. We'll find out more when they get that next data in Janurary. |
| 21:22.33 | Ghel | The paper: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.03622v1.pdf |
| 21:23.34 | Ghel | A lot of them are all but ruled out: instrumental/data problems, intrinstic variability of the star, extrinsic variability caused by a companion. And basically all of the others ought to cause more dust than is observed. |
| 21:23.48 | Ghel | Or other such things. |
| 21:23.51 | Wormy_ | I think we should look for signs of relic technology in our system. The fact of the matter is that what applies to dyson builders, also applies to expansion using self-replicating machines |
| 21:24.21 | Ghel | I have considered what a sci-fi universe based on the griefer hypothesis might be like. It would arguably make a space opera scenario more realistic: even if FTL and other such technologies were possible, civilisations who possess them wouldn't go around building megastructures etc. because they'd just get killed, so you're restricted to things like small planetary colonies, small space habitats, and regular starships. |
| 21:24.26 | Wormy_ | Just for presence of mining, and so on |
| 21:26.36 | Wormy_ | And for them not being noticeable - we've only started to look at asteroids and dwarf planets closely; they could be programmed to ignore systems with sentient life if we are lucky; or are nano or clarke-technological. |
| 21:27.35 | Ghel | One dyson sphere per billion stars would also give hundreds for every large galaxy - perhaps enough to strike against any possible threats and enforce the scenario - while also providing enough empty space to not directly interfere with plot otherwise. |
| 21:28.12 | Ghel | Searching for probes in our solar system is certainly other possibly productive route of inquiry, yes. |
| 21:28.48 | Ghel | Even on Pluto, with the short look at it we got there could even have been some hidden there for all we know. |
| 21:29.17 | Ghel | Alas, it turns out the "lights" on Ceres probably aren't an alien mining colony. |
| 21:29.23 | Wormy_ | Maybe the hider civilisations are quietly gathering new races (and have yet to contact us), and are planning for somekind of uprising |
| 21:30.24 | Wormy_ | Perhaps humanity will try to strike at these Baryonic Lords |
| 21:31.29 | Ghel | An uprising against a dyson sphere would be like attacking a Death Star... only thousands of times bigger and without being able to target the reactor core. Unless there are starbusting weapons you can get past the defences. |
| 21:32.10 | Xho | It will just impact on the surface |
| 21:32.26 | Ghel | The surface is one of the defences to get past. |
| 21:32.30 | Wormy_ | Who knows, and if something like a hyperdrive exists, perhaps the dyson sphere civilisation missed it or stagnated |
| 21:32.51 | Ghel | It might just be a dyson swarm rather than a solid shell, too. |
| 21:33.37 | Ghel | A space opera would certainly work better if hyperdrive exists. Although that doesn't mean the dyson sphere civilisation doesn't know about it: it would make them even more deadly with more rapid response times. |
| 21:34.01 | Roboticking | a swarm would be less costly than a dyson shell |
| 21:34.07 | Wormy_ | We'd be dead already |
| 21:34.22 | Wormy_ | There could be a Nicoll-Dyson beam heading our way though |
| 21:34.49 | Ghel | They still might not have any means of detecting us at FTL speeds. |
| 21:35.20 | Ghel | And even hyperdrives might not be easily detectable over interstellar distances. |
| 21:35.20 | Wormy_ | All they need is to have detected us within 100 or so lights |
| 21:35.55 | Wormy_ | Actually that is very unlikely |
| 21:35.59 | Ghel | And the dyson sphere is 1480 ly away. :P |
| 21:37.10 | Wormy_ | Not unless there is a closer, mini dyson |
| 21:37.36 | Wormy_ | or could assemble one in that time |
| 21:38.00 | Ghel | The even more conservative number I mentioned - one sphere per billion stars - would make it even easier for civilisations to get hyperdrives before being attacked. But building their own dyson sphere would take centuries, and they would be noticed soon enough for a fleet of billions of griefer warships to interfere. |
| 21:39.58 | Ghel | ...You might then need more than one per billion stars. But still, they can be scarce enough for the scenario to work (for some aliens to survive) while being common enough to be effective. |
| 21:41.55 | Ghel | Then there you go. A space opera with fantastic technologies while still being realistic *and* providing an explanation for the Fermi paradox. |
| 21:45.39 | Wormy_ | There's one more scenario: the planetarium hypothesis, that we are in some-kind of construct or simulation either built for us or as a short-term experiment. Falsifiable, because we would eventually find limits, like an end to irrational numbers, which there can only be one rational explanation |
| 21:46.33 | Wormy_ | Stephen Baxter wrote a story where a spaceship reaches the edge of the solar system, and the simulation starts shutting down |

| 21:46.45 | Jepardi | Hi |
| 21:46.49 | Ghel | Hello. |
| 21:46.53 | Wormy_ | Because its more likely the aliens can't house us forever |
| 21:47.40 | Wormy_ | Then, in a similar story, the universe was actually a construct by Quagma-like aliens in the Quark epoch |
| 21:48.10 | Wormy_ | to simulate the future of the universe, with godlike astroengineering technology of their own |
| 21:48.14 | Ghel | Ah, yes. I suppose the planetarium hypothesis is somewhat like an "it only takes one" scenario, although it focuses on our position specifically rather than on there being aliens who affect every civilisation. |
| 21:49.28 | Wormy_ | You can take it even further |
| 21:49.59 | Wormy_ | Focusing on yourself, a brain created with false memories about to be destroyed in a picosecond |
| 21:50.44 | Wormy_ | I hope astrophysicists are successful in ruling out Boltzmann brains |
| 21:52.21 | Ghel | If you're going to be paranoid that you are one, I don't think that would make a difference. It just means they don't exist in the fake physics of your Boltmann-brain imagination; you might as well hope scientists rule out the possibility of brains-in-jars. |

| 22:04.46 | Monet | hi |
| 22:05.05 | Monet | Ghel: This gave me a thought although I guess its been done before somewhere. |
| 22:06.17 | Monet | I had this idea of what the Draconid Imperium might call "aeon engines"; artificial intelligences that I guess are a type of swarm intelligence that expand themselves over time. Becoming larger and more complex as they age. |
| 22:06.53 | Wormy_ | http://9gag.com/gag/a5KXmYg?ref=fbp |
| 22:07.05 | Wormy_ | He's gone |
| 22:08.10 | Monet | I mixed up who was leaving for a 9am schedule. My bad |
| 22:08.21 | Monet | Still. |
| 22:09.24 | Monet | I guess the older Aeon Engines in the Imperium could be phenomenal computation engines. |
| 22:10.11 | Monet | Not sure specifically what they could be used for but I can see the Royal Academy finding an interest in them |
| 22:12.38 | Monet | Actually this makes me wonder: It would mean that the AI Netspace would have "bretheren" of sorts within the Imperium. |
| 22:14.36 | Monet | What are the possible social ramifications of immense AI that the Grand Senate would prefer not being aligned to an organisation alien to Imperial space? |

| 22:45.23 | The_Randomness | That's pretty neat, I remember first hearing about stuff like that a while ago |
| 22:45.49 | The_Randomness | Sounds like they've come a long way with it |
| 22:47.57 | Wormy_ | "Why did a woman take her 12-year-old nephew to court in the US state of Connecticut this week?" |
| 22:48.19 | Wormy_ | " - Jennifer Connell unsuccessfully tried to sue for $127,000 after her nephew's over-exuberant hug caused her to fall and break her wrist. She said she wasn't mad at her nephew - the case was just aimed at getting the homeownerâs insurance to pay her medical bills." |
| 22:48.28 | Wormy_ | With context, its understandable |
| 22:49.22 | DrodoEmpire | Sad they had to go to that extraordinary length |
| 22:49.31 | Wormy_ | Its sad that she has to get her relative's insurance, 217,000 dollars for a broken wrist |
