Dyson-like Megastructures Around Supermassive Black Holes: A Grounded Feasibility Study on Energy Capture, Communication, and Signs of Advanced Civilizations
To the point
Led by Olivia Curtis at MIT, the study investigates whether an ultra-advanced civilization could harvest energy from a supermassive black hole using Dyson-like megastructures placed roughly a parsec away, extending Dyson sphere ideas to black holes while considering energy capture, engineering challenges, and distant communication, with no claim of extraterrestrial evidence.
