Chapter 297: The Most Unlikely Possibility!
Sitting on the sofa, Chen Yike held his mobile phone, and when he saw Chen Yu's figure on the screen, his eyes lit up.
"It's finally live!"
Standing up suddenly, she clicked on the screen recording software to record, then carefully placed the phone on the coffee table, picked up a screaming chicken, and tiptoed to Chen Yu's room.
"Sister, what are you doing?" said Chen Erke, who was playing with his mobile phone on the sofa, in confusion.
"Shh
Making a silent gesture, Chen Yike walked through the living room, walked to the door, and listened carefully to the movement in Chen Yu's room.
"Sister, what are you doing again?"
"I'm revealing the big secret!"
"***?" Chen Erke was surprised.
"Shhhh Don't speak, stand behind me honestly. β
"Oooh!"
"Huh?" Chen Yike was suddenly a little stunned: "Don't you think this scene is a little familiar?"
"Where's the familiarity?"
"It's a bit like watching some bad author rewrite the previous plot......"
"No, I don't. β
"It's my delusion......" muttered, Chen Yike put his ear to the door panel and listened for a long time, and found that there was no sound, so he picked up the screaming chicken with a wicked smile on his face, and prepared to pinch it suddenly.
If Chen Yu was inside, she was sure he would be startled.
If there is no reaction under such a sudden attack, it is enough to prove that there is no one inside!
"Second, cover your ears and don't be afraid. Chen Yike whispered.
"Is it a prank?" Chen Erke licked his lips and covered his ears excitedly.

"Oh!!"
The screaming chicken is pinched instantly!
But the next moment, the door was opened without warning!
"You ......" Before Chen Yike outside the door could react, a stick fell from the sky and smashed on her head with a "bang".
"Poof. β
Seeing Yike fall to the ground, Xiao Taohong was eager to try, picked up the amnesia stick and smashed it on Chen Erke's head.
"Boom!"
"Poof!"
Erke also fell to the ground limply and fell into a fainting. He still covers his ears......
Bent down and picked up the screaming chicken on the ground, Xiao Taohong admired the five-body throw to the ground: "Seeing that the 'chicken' is not good, you can take the initiative to attack! β
"You... Who are you?!What are you doing?!"
Mother Chen in the master bedroom walked out when she heard the sound and was shocked when she saw Xiao Taohong and the two daughters on the ground.
"Huh!"
The black shadow flashed, and the little peach appeared on Chen's mother's side like a teleportation, knocking it down with a stick: "Take the initiative to attack!"
Then, she slapped Chen Sanke and the husky down, and her hands were on her hips and she was proud.
"The stability of my little peach is the real stability......"
......
At the same time.
Floating Castle, Rector's Tower Study.
Chen Yu explained everything about "Tabi Star" to the audience in a solemn tone.
"It is well known that if a star has a planet revolving around it, then when the planet 'blocks' in front of the star, it will cause the luminosity of the star to decrease. This phenomenon is called transit. Modern astronomers use transit to obtain information about whether there are planets in other star systems, how many planets there are, and what the mass of the planets is. β
"But usually, this luminosity drops, only around 1%, or even less. β
"And strangely, the kic 8462852, the Tabi star, has a luminosity drop of up to 22%! In the current model of the star system, such a drastic drop in luminosity would not have been possible for the star alone. β
Therefore, after 2011, the astronomical community has some more authoritative hypotheses to explain this. β
Turning the seventh page, Chen Yu displayed the text in the newspaper in front of the camera: "First, the cloud hypothesis. After ruling out equipment or data issues, the Monthly Bulletin of the Royal Astronomical Society concluded that the decline in the luminosity of Taby may have been affected by the gravity of the surrounding stars, causing a large number of comets in Taby's Oort cloud to fall towards the star, and the evaporating comet cloud air and dust obscured the star. β
"The evidence supporting this hypothesis is that there is indeed a red dwarf star 885 AU away from Tabi, close enough to influence comets within the Oort cloud region of Tabi. β
But then, in 2016, two Chinese astronomical institutions ruled out this hypothesis after calculations. Because the comet cloud of Tabi is disturbed by gravity, it orbits the star in an elliptical orbit. There is also not enough mass to cause a 22% drop in brightness. β
After a slight pause in his voice, giving the audience ten seconds to buffer, Chen Yu turned the eighth page and continued: "Second, the planetary collision hypothesis. Several planets collided around Tabi, creating warm dust that obscured the light. But collisions between planets emit intense infrared light! The astronomical community has analyzed the spectral energy distribution for several years through high-resolution spectrometers and the Nordic optical telescope in Eastern Panga, but has not observed any excessive infrared energy. β
"The planetary collision hypothesis is self-defeating. β
"In addition to both, there are many other explanations that are less likely. For example, instrument data errors, volatile BE stars, cosmic dust, companion stars, protoplanetary disks, and so on. β
"For every hypothesis, there is much evidence that proves them wrong. β
Putting down the newspaper, Chen Yu looked at the camera, and his tone became more and more low: "There is only one seemingly absurd, but unassailable statement, which can explain the decline in the brightness of Tabi Star." Since 2015, more and more astronomers have leaned towards this view. Not because evidence was found, but because all other hypotheses were false. β
"As Sherlock Holmes said, all impossibilities are ruled out, and the one that remains, even if it is unthinkable, is a fact. β
"This is the Civilization Creation Hypothesis!"
γit!γ
[Don't make a fuss......]
[How does it feel like a joke?]
[There are a lot of people in the industry who really think so, and I'm one of them. You may not know it, but the attention paid to this star by officials and the astronomical community is quite high!]
[I still don't understand it.] Do you mean aliens?Can you come over?!]
[It can't be a Dyson sphere, is ......it?
[More than 1,400 light years, it's very close.] γ
[It's scary to think about it. γ
[Destroy human tyranny!The world belongs to Tabi Star!]
Waiting for the barrage tide to subside slightly, Chen Yu re-lifted "The Shining Moment of Civilization", turned the tenth page, pointed to a photo of a white male, and spoke faster: "Many astronomers agree with the hypothesis of civilization creation, but this person was the first to publish relevant professional papers. He was Jasht, an astronomer at Penn State, who is still active. In that paper, it was explicitly hypothesized that the change in the luminosity of Tabi was most likely due to the megastructures built by extraterrestrial civilizations. For example......"
"Dyson balls. β
Closing the newspaper, Chen Yu stood up and opened his arms: "Jason Wright should also be watching my live broadcast at this time, congratulations, and Penn State." Half of your reasoning is correct. β
"The aperiodic changes in the brightness of Tabi are indeed caused by some kind of giant structure made by intelligent life. β
"Next, I will present a series of indisputable evidence, including several new findings from 2019, to prove your point. β
"And that's why you're half right......"
Walking out of the lens, Chen Yu took the courier box containing the 22nd Century Astronomical Telescope next to him: "It's because this giant structure is not the so-called Dyson sphere." β
"It's ......"
