Chapter 297 - The Most Improbable Possibility! Intelligent Creation! (2/2)
, Little Peach arrived beside Mother Chen in a flash She then sent Mother Chen collapsing with a smack “Take the initiative to attack!”
Afterward, Little Peach proceeded with knocking Chen Sanke and the husky unconscious as well She then rested her hands on her hips and said in delight, “I am truly reliable…”

At the sa Castle, Headmaster’s Tower:
Chen Yu sole about Tabby’s Star to his audience
“As we all know, if a star has planets revolving around it, then when these planets ‘block’ the star, they would cause the star’s luminosity to drop This phenomenon is called a transit Modern astronomers use the transit method to obtain information such as whether there are planets in a star system, how many planets are there in the star system, and the mass of the planets
“However, under normal circumstances, a star’s lu even lower
“Yet, strangely enough, KIC 8462852, or Tabby’s Star, has seen a drop in luminosity by asto existing star systems ree
“Hence, after 2011, the astronomy community has made some more authoritative hypothetical explanations for this phenoe, Chen Yu then showed the page to the camera and said, “The first hypothesis is that the star is surrounded by a cloud of disintegrating co factors such as equipment and data problems, the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society believes that the Tabby’s Star’s luravity from a nearby star caused comets from the Oort cloud to fall closer into the syste the spectra of Tabby’s Star
“The evidence to support this hypothesis is that there is indeed a red dwarf star 885 astronomical units away from Tabby’s Star It is very close and can affect coion of Tabby’s Star
“But then, in 2016, two Chinese astronoas of Tabby’s Star’s coravity; therefore, it should orbit the star in an elliptical orbit The cloud sih mass to cause the star’s luhtly, giving his audience ten seconds to process his words He then flipped to the eighth page and continued, “The second hypothesis is a collision between planets may have occurred around Tabby’s Star, and the warht However, a collision between planets would eht Yet, even after the astronoy distribution analysis through high-resolution spectrometers and the Nordic Optical Telescope in East Spain, no excessive infrared energy has been observed
“Hence, the planetary collision hypothesis can be ruled out as well
“Aside from these two hypotheses, there are stilltrue For example, instrument data errors, variable Be stars, companion stars, possession of protoplanetary disks, and so on
“Every hypothesis has plenty of evidence to prove it wrong”
Placing down the journal, Chen Yu looked at the ca deeper and deeper “This leaves us with only one seely ridiculous but impeccable hypothesis that can explain the drastic decline in Tabby’s Star’s brightness Since 2015, more and more astronomers have tended to this hypothesis Not because evidence proving it has been found, but because all other theories have been proven wrong
“As Sherlock Holmes once said, once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the answer
“Meanwhile, this answer is—a civilization’s creation!”
[crap!]
[Stop joking around…]
[Why does this feel like a joke?]
[Many people in the industry really think so, and I aht not understand it, but the various govern a lot of attention to this star!]
[I still don’t quite get it Does this mean there are aliens? Can they come here?!]
[Is it a Dyson sphere?]
[It’s only a little over 1,400 light-years away It’s very close]
[The more I think about it, the scarier it feels]
[Exters to Tabby’s Star!]
After waiting for the bullet comments to settle down, Chen Yu lifted up the Moe and pointed at the photo of a white ree with the hypothesis of a civilization’s creation blocking Tabby’s Star However, this person here is the first to publish a related professional paper He is the astronoht of Pennsylvania State University He is still active in the industry even now In that paper, he hypothesized that Tabby’s Star’s lue is very likely caused by a colossal structure built by an alien civilization For exa the journal, Chen Yu stood up and opened his ar ratulations to you and Pennsylvania State University Half of your reasoning is correct
“The non-periodical luiant structure ent life
“Next, I will present a series of undisputed evidence, including several new discoveries made in 2019, to prove your hypothesis
“As for the reason why I say only half of your hypothesis is correct…”
Stepping out of the camera’s view, Chen Yu picked up the journal’s delivery box, which also came with an astronomical telescope froiant structure isn’t the so-called Dyson sphere
“Instead…”
