There is still a lot that is not known about black holes, so objects in space are often the target of research, even wild hypotheses. Recently, scientists have come up with the theory that black holes could be a source of energy for alien civilizations.
Black holes do have a great gravitational pull, not even light can escape from them. But this object on the other hand can also produce great energy in various ways.
Scientists at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, are exploring whether there are any resources in black holes that could theoretically be harnessed as a civilization resource.
Well, the researchers suggest that super-advanced alien civilizations could theoretically create massive structures called Dyson spheres around Black Holes, to attract their energy, which is 100 thousand times that of the Sun.
The Dyson sphere could theoretically be built on an object such as a star to better get its energy. It is described that the Dyson sphere is composed of a network of satellites revolving around an energy source.
Human technology has not been able to make it so that again in theory, a super advanced alien civilization that can create it is called a Type II or Type III civilization.
"In this study, we considered an energy source from advanced Type II or Type III civilizations. They require a more powerful energy source than their own stars," the researchers wrote.
Then if true, what is the super-huge energy of the Black Hole used by aliens? "Perhaps to mine crypto currency or play video games," the researcher said half-jokingly.
