Dyson Sphere under construction?

[AFTT47]

Very cool idea but to be scientific, you always have to look for the simplest explanations first. We've been down this route before with the discovery of pulsars (more accurately, neutron stars). When the signals from them were first detected, it was initially thought they might be signals from an extraterrestrial civilization.

I believe the Dyson Sphere idea has merit (in general - not necessarily with this specific star) and I think looking for one is a far better prospect of discovering intelligent life beyond Earth than listening for radio signals. This could be a variation of a Dyson Sphere but science demands skepticism. I think it's far too early to be crying "Dyson Sphere" here. Our knowledge of stellar formation is poor at this point so we can't rule out a natural explanation.

So, maybe but the smart money is on a natural explanation.
