Scientists scanning the night sky in the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence are turning their telescopes towards a mysterious star, which had been flagged as an alien megastructure. As part of a $100 million (£81 million) project, backed by Stephen Hawking, astronomers will target the strange stellar object which has baffled scientists since its discovery. Called Tabbys Star, its regular cycles of dimming have been claimed by some to be a sign of intelligent beings warranting enough interest for a closer look.

Regular cycles of dimming can be due to a large planet or dark companion star passing between the star and the telescope. But that theory would not tend to justify more grants to “study” it...

Eggheads don’t want 9 to 5 jobs like everyone else, so...grant money.

Buck Murdock: Oh, cut the bleeding heart crap, will ya? We’ve all got our switches, lights, and knobs to deal with, Striker. I mean, down here there are literally hundreds and thousands of blinking, beeping, and flashing lights, blinking and beeping and flashing - they’re *flashing* and they’re *beeping*. I can’t stand it anymore! They’re *blinking* and *beeping* and *flashing*! Why doesn’t somebody pull the plug!

Why can’t they use the proper term for “alien megastructure”? (Death star)

The cycles of dimming are neither regular nor predictable.

This is such a ridiculous waste of money. So what if it's aliens? Meaningful communication is impossible. Faster that light travel is IMPOSSIBLE. Just like -- and I hate to disappoint all the jobless losers living in their parent's basement -- light sabres are IMPOSSIBLE!

A clear case of being so brilliant that your a total moron. Newton, Einstein, Hawking all peaked at about age 26. That's surprisingly true for most professions, from egg heads to pole dancers. Many physicists go totally moonbat by the time they reach retirement.
It's so important for young people to make their first billion or whatever by age 30, because after that it's probably not happening. The worst choice many talented young people can make is wasting their 20s being indoctrinated in a libtard reeducation camp.
