So … What If Aliens’ Quantum Computers Explain Dark Energy? https://www.wired.com/story/so-what-if-aliens-quantum-computers-explain-dark-energy/
"Recently a consistent cosmology with no dark energy has been proposed by a large number of respected cosmologists, like Joe Silk and Subir Sarkar, who argue that if we live in a large region of empty space void of galaxies then we can do away with dark energy. Likewise, our aliens come from a region void of dark energy because this void represents a biosphere of computational activity. According to a detailed multidata analysis of the latest measurement of the cosmic microwave background, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and type Ia supernovae observations, such a region exists. Working with my colleagues at Penn State and CERN, we were able to show that all that data is consistent with a region void of dark energy spanning some two hundred megaparsec. This is a huge region; for comparison, ten kiloparsec is about the radius of a typical spiral galaxy like our own Milky Way, and a parsec itself is already pretty big, at more than three light-years. So we at least have a spot where these aliens could live with their computers. Everywhere outside the aliens’ existence, where there are no computers, the dark energy would exist." -- ☤>$ uǝlƃ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
