Scientists: We’ve been trying to reach you about your spaceship’s extended warranty…
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.
If immaterium is real, we have a much bigger problems than inability to detect xeno’s warp drives.
I propose detecting atmospheric anomalies induced by their infinite improbability drives.
Such as falling whales?
So civilizations travelling at ludicrous speed won’t be discovered, so sad
Don’t forget to polarize the sensors.
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish.
If that doesn’t work then reverse the polarity.
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
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.
And of course there’s the sheer awesome factor of if it turns out to be the case
Could you imagine being the dude who makes that discovery? Prepare to have shit named after you for centuries
