I can literally build a Jenga tower with standard size Jenga blocks using a forklift (we have little competitions every so often)(unfortunately I can’t show pics or videos otherwise it’d be a security incident)
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.
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.
Unless we go the way of Independence Day or Three-Body Problem. At this point though I’d also probably say…
spoiler
Please conquer us.
We’re sooooo fucking stupid.
That’s what it means to specialize.
You can detect a forklift before most other people can.

I got that shit on lock

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
Science location, you rube.
