I propose detecting atmospheric anomalies induced by their infinite improbability drives.
Pretty hard to detect. But… probably easier than finding the petunias I guess.
That’s assuming they actually use a Star Trek style warp drive when we ALL know they are actually using Navigators to jump into the Immaterium.
just look for hyper evolved salamanders, that’s what happened in voyagers warp experiment gone wrong
It did not. That never happened. No one has ever gone beyond Warp 10. It’s infinite speed. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Then why did a hologram of Janeway tell a bunch of kids she once was a salamander?
You’d lie to kids about evolving into a salamander and having sex with your former flight control officer who is also now a salamander and having little salamander babies after traveling faster than infinitely fast if you could too. Don’t say you wouldn’t.
Provided that’s even how they work
But what they hell do I know, I drive a forklift for a living not do science things with other science people at the science place
The whole thing is theoretical, but the more tools we have on our belt to look for intelligent life in the universe, the better.
Of course it’s assuming that’s how advanced propulsion tech works. But it is useful to try to detect, just in case that’s how it actually turns out to work, no?
And if we detect something interesting, like a potential warp bubble collapse, well, that also gives us a strong hint that it’s possible, helping us to direct research in the right path.
Detecting techno-signatures of aliens would be super useful for us.
That’s what it means to specialize.
You can detect a forklift before most other people can.
So civilizations travelling at ludicrous speed won’t be discovered, so sad
