Eric,
Good post.
The science fiction writer E.E. "Doc" Smith proposed modulating the output
of a star, our own Sun, in the Lensman Series.  These six books were
written about 1940 or so, and that series is the ultimate of sci-fi
space-operas.  This book series inspired the TV series "Babylon 5".
"Doc" had Sun-orbiting conductors that were energized to briefly focus
Solar energy (most of it) into a beam weapon, to defend Earth against an
invading fleet.  If you know vacuum-tube electronics, this is actually
somewhat realistic.
You are probably familiar with charged wire/charged grid beam-steering
technology; in most homes, it is called TV.  Unless you have a flat-screen
monitor, you also have similar magnetic or electrostatic fields in your
monitor that focus the electrons of the computer-display (Cathode Ray Tube
or CRT) into a picture.  Focusing all solar output could "beam" some rather
noticeable intensity in one direction, and that would "dim" the output in
all other directions.
That much beam energy could quickly vaporize an Earth-crossing asteroid:
we could even save ourselves from the threat that may have wiped out the
last big dinosaurs.  :-)
"

The only thing in common is 'using the sun'.

Bye,

Hi,
Seeing all the bullshit in this newsgroup or maybe sci-fi... or maybe

future

technology I thought I add some of mine hehehehe.

My idea is to use the SUN as a way to send a message to aliens ;)

We build a big shield around the sun. And then we can turn it on and off
like a lamp.

Yeah... because I don't believe that radio signals would ever get to the
other side of the galaxy... to much noise and stuff... so it's

unrecnogzible

blabla whatever :D

So instead one needs a BIG, POWERFULL, SIGNAL ;)

And I think the sun is a pretty good BIG,POWERFULL, SIGNAL ;)

FUNNY EH......

Has anybody ever though about analyzing stars ????

Maybe other aliens have already though up the same idea ;)

Maybe aliens are already trying to send a message to us by using the

stars

!!!

Since we CAN see the STARS ! even from earth hehehehehehe.

So has anybody really analyzed the light from stars... if they contain
messages from aliens ?

Bye,
  Skybuck.
