"The non-periodic luminosity changes on Tabby's Star are indeed caused by the creation of a certain intelligent life."
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the originally chaotic Observer Conference Hall instantly fell silent.
The bullet screen in the top ten live streaming channels also became sparse …
Everyone was digesting this piece of information that destroyed their worldview.
Most scholars and ordinary people were sure that humans were not the only intelligent life form in the vast universe.
However, the reality was placed in front of them one day, and everyone still received a huge shock.
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu took a look at the bullet comments. He then stood in place and waited quietly for a moment. Once everyone had regained their ability to think, he continued, "I know that the creation of intelligent life is unbelievable. However, to make it clear that I am not making empty promises, I will next throw out a series of indisputable evidence to prove Jason Wright's point of view.
"First of all, the luminosity of Tabby's Star is dropping at an unbelievable rate.
On the surface, the latest and last relevant information about it is the observation record in March 2018. Its brightness has decreased by another 5%. "
"After that, it was as if the whole world had lost interest in it overnight. There was no follow-up discussion at all.
There's also no news about the largest-scale 'Breakthrough Listening' plan jointly launched by Yuri Milner and Hawking. "
"Huaxia's Heavenly Eye Observation only announced one piece of news with no abnormalities in April 2019.
However, Tabby's Star's luminosity was constantly decreasing!
This piece of news that doesn't have any 'abnormalities' is itself an abnormality! "
"Until now, 2021, there hasn't been any new news about Tabby's Star on the Internet.
Only the internal servers of astronomical institutions with high authority and the databases of astronomy departments of major universities can find relevant documents. "
"Of course, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world."
"In some published professional papers, Tabby's Star was mentioned unintentionally or intentionally."
"A typical example would be Professor Sun Wei's paper from the National Science Center of the Huaxia Academy of Sciences in December 2019 — 'A Sequential Image Compression Algorithm for Space Astronomical Observations'. It mainly talks about: the sequential astronomical images obtained from continuous observations of fixed celestial bodies will have high time and space redundancy. Therefore, a lossless compression algorithm that combines intra-frame compression and improved inter-frame compression is proposed."
"On the sixth page of the electronic version of this paper, it is revealed that in March 1919, the Huaxia Astronomical Observatory worked with many countries to capture a large number of astronomical images of Tabby's Star using extraterrestrial telescopes. The lossless compression method used is the previous generation compression technology of this paper.
Revealing a faint sneer, Chen Yu shrugged.
"According to the amount of data revealed in the paper, it would take a lot of work to process all the data!
Astronomical institutions alone cannot afford it, so we need the help of astronomical institutions all over the world. "
"Let me ask you, why would so many astronomical images be taken of Tabby's Star in 2019, which nobody discussed in 2018?"
"What's even more interesting is that in November 2018, Academician Liu Yi, Academician Zhang Zhili, and Professor Zhou Fa from the Huaxia Rocket Army Engineering University also published a paper — 'Star Map Supplement Based on the Trajectory of Fixed Stars'.
On the fifth page of the electronic version, there is a description: You can construct a missing star map model for a star that is about 1,400 light-years away. "
"This university itself is very special.
1,400 light-years was the exact distance to Tabby's Star!
The time of the thesis was four months before the filming in 2019!
This series of coincidences can't possibly be a coincidence, right? "
Patting the Civilization's Shining journal in his hand, Chen Yu continued, "You can find these two theses on the internet.
In addition, there are also many international theses related to Tabby's Star. For example,
experiment
of
ccd
Frame-ation, distribution
of
psf
of
near
earth
object
survey
Telescope, and so on. "
[Is this all true?]
[I found it...]
[I found it as well.]
[It's scary to think about it.]
[Crap!
I knew it wouldn't be that simple!
Why did they suddenly stop reporting on Tabby's Star?
It turns out they discovered aliens!]
[Host, you're awesome!]
[UP, you're acting like a big shot.]
[UP, why do you sound so much like a junior high student?]
[When you look at aliens, aliens are also looking at you...]
[Why do you sound so much like a junior high student?]
[When you look at aliens, aliens are also looking at you...]
"As the saying goes, don't carry the news about Tabby's Star.
It's because they discovered that the alien hypothesis, which they initially entertained the public, is becoming more and more realistic.
In order to avoid panic, a necessary lockdown is necessary.
"In that case, I will start from the 2017 timeline and introduce all of humanity's discoveries on Tabby's Star."
Opening the Civilization's Shining journal once more and flipping to page 22, Chen Yu quickly narrated, "In March 2017, a certain NASA team that was observing the Kepler light curve had a whimsical idea of bringing an isosceles triangle into the model. The resulting reduced luminosity actually perfectly matched the real Tabby's Star!
This discovery was immediately posted on NASA's official website and republished by various major media outlets.
"The object blocking Tabby's Star is a standard isosceles triangle. This is undoubtedly an excellent gimmick for ordinary people.
"However, two days later, NASA conducted a complete calculation and discovered that this was not a coincidence!
The object blocking Tabby's Star was actually a triangle!
Hence, all related news on Tabby's Star was taken down.
As a result, the global government's observation of Tabby's Star increased by several orders of magnitude!
"Due to the characteristics of the Internet, no matter how an eye-catching piece of news gets banned or taken down, it will leave behind traces.
Now, if China's viewers search for the words' Tabby's Star's triangle, 'they should still be able to find vague descriptions of it.
Google will be able to find even more information. "
After saying so, Chen Yu flipped to page 23 and continued, "In July 2019, the data taken by the Six Nations' official astronomical arrays was integrated, further confirming the existence of the giant isosceles triangle.
"In June 2022, the triangle moved to face the solar system, and Tabby's Star's brightness decreased by another 21%. It will slowly recover after three days.
During these three days, through the transit method, the astronomical community calculated that the giant's surface area is about nine times that of Jupiter.
"In March 2026.
The Hawking telescope launched into space and focused on Tabby's Star for six months. It was determined that the mass of the triangle is one-quarter that of Earth!
This means that the triangle's thickness should not exceed five microns!
The hypotheses of the ring world, space station, and space fleet are ruled out.
"In 2044.
Tabby's Star's brightness continues to decrease, proving that its mass loss is severe.
The astronomical community continues to rule out the hypothesis that the giant structure is a Dyson ring.
This is because the Dyson ring only absorbs the energy normally emitted by a star. It cannot cause the star to 'age prematurely.'
"What is an isosceles triangle?
It has become a mystery once more.
"In May 2078.
A student from Jingdong University's Department of Astronomy analyzed the spectral changes of Tabby's Star over the past 70 years from 2009 to 2078 and discovered that the isosceles triangle's rotation has a regular pattern!
"In August 2078, the regular pattern is proven to be the chemical nature of hydrogen. One year later, the pattern is completely deciphered!
When translated into human language, there is an 85% chance that the word 'here' means' here. '
"In 2092, the number of triangular orbits has increased, and the translation accuracy has increased to 99%. The existence of an intelligent alien civilization can be confirmed.
Taking Tabby's Star as an example, its civilization is at least 2,500 years ahead of humanity.
"In 2105..."
After reading up to this point, Chen Yu took a deep breath and looked at the camera. "The Hubble Space Telescope launched into space and completed high-precision photography.
All of humanity has finally seen with their own eyes an object that is 1,800 light-years away.
"That thing isn't a Dyson ball.
"Instead...
"The Milky Way Internet!"
As soon as Chen Yu finished speaking, the astronomical community, governments, and 46 million viewers were instantly dumbfounded.
