< the closest candidate - a carbon star

we dyson now.

Nice that somebody took notice of the link I posted. Due note that it also mentions other searches with other numbers of candidates.

Conroy and Werthimer have searched by constraining the Jugaku infrared excess technique to older stars using a list of 1000 nearby older stars compiled by Wright and Marcy. Using older stars eliminates thick dust clouds around young stars. They also correlate with the rich K band near-infrared ground based data from 2MASS. They have found 33 candidates in the 12 μm IRAS band with 3 σ excesses from the mean.

Why not? We've already found a way to manufacture Dyson Fans and they're pretty physicsy.

I find Dyson spheres to be highly unlikely, but what do I know, a million years ago I thought the Moon was a disk and my greatest technological achievement was a stone wedged into a stick.
