Has advanced civilization appeared? Mysterious rings appear in the universe, scientists don't know how to explain

Human beings cannot be the only intelligent creatures in the universe in any respect, and as far as we know, the universe has existed for at least tens of billions of years, so a reasonable speculation is that there may well exist in the universe Advanced civilizations that are hundreds of millions or even billions of years ahead of human beings, if this is the case, their technological level is simply impossible for us humans to imagine.

For us humans, there are too many unknowns in the vast universe. Although humans have appeared on the earth for millions of years, it is only a few hundred years before humans really begin to explore the mysteries of the universe.

In the process of exploring the universe, some mysterious phenomena that scientists do not know how to explain are occasionally discovered, such as abnormally behaved stars, regular-shaped galaxies, and ridiculously empty "cosmic holes", etc. For such phenomena , people often have a question: Has advanced civilization appeared?

It is conceivable that as human beings continue to explore the universe, more such phenomena will be discovered by human beings. No, in a project called "Evolutionary Map of the Universe" (EMU) ), a new situation emerged.

The project, which started in 2019, is not about finding advanced civilizations in the universe. Its goal is to use the new "ASKAP telescope" to explore the evolution of stars and black holes in galaxies, the relationship between dark matter halos and wireless power, and the universe. The large-scale structure and depicts a detailed map of the distribution of radio power sources in the universe's galaxies.

The ASKAP Telescope, a giant array of radio telescopes made up of several small dishes, can measure large swaths of the sky with unprecedented precision and speed, and before the study began, scientists on the project speculated that they might find some "outliers" Unexpected things", and it turns out that their guesses were correct.

During their research work, scientists discovered a never-before-seen ring structure. This type of structure is relatively common in the universe, but what is puzzling is that the ring structure discovered this time is only It is visible in the radio band (it is very bright near its edge), but is not visible in other wavelengths, neither infrared, visible light nor X-rays.

Scientists have found a total of 4 such mysterious rings, three of which cannot determine their distance and size, and only one has specific information. It is named "ORC J0102-2450". The observation data shows that it is about 100 meters away from us. There are 3 billion light-years, and its diameter is about 978,000 light-years.

How should this mysterious ring be explained?

In theory, such a giant ring structure visible only in the radio band cannot exist, so the first reaction of scientists is that there is a problem with the observation equipment, but this explanation was quickly rejected, because scientists These ring structures have also been found with other radio telescopes.

Scientists have subsequently put forward various explanations for this. For example, some people think that this mysterious ring should be caused by "gravitational lensing", and some people think that it is a cone-shaped shape produced by a supermassive black hole when it devours gas and dust. Jets of particles and energy, and some believe that the central region of a huge galaxy had exploded violently, and the resulting shock wave spread outward in the form of a sphere, eventually forming a ring structure.

However, these views seem to be untenable, because "gravitational lensing" cannot explain the symmetry of this mysterious ring, and scientists have not found matter of sufficient mass in this region, while other views cannot explain this mysterious ring. Rings are only visible in the radio band.

All in all, on the basis of existing theories, scientists do not know how to explain this phenomenon, so people naturally speculate that advanced civilization has appeared?

It has to be said that this hypothesis can perfectly explain all mysterious phenomena. After all, in our imagination, those advanced civilizations in the universe are omnipotent, but the question is what purpose did they create this giant ring structure? Woolen cloth?

In this regard, some people have put forward a very interesting point of view, that is, this mysterious ring may be the entrance and exit of the "wormhole" created by advanced civilization. It can connect two time-spaces that are originally very far apart, and this is also an important reason why advanced civilizations can traverse the universe. As to why advanced civilizations made it visible only in the radio band, the reason is unknown.

Of course, this can only be regarded as a guess, and what is the actual situation needs further research.
