| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

Too bad the thing is so far away that we can't just pop over to check out what is causing the dimming. Would be nice if one could get a close up look rather than just relying on the limited amount of data telescopes can give us. Incidentally, just a nitpick on what the article says: It says the star is 1280 light years away, but most other sources seem to say its 1480 light years. Could be just a typo in this article I guess. |

We should all know this!! It was the results of Dyson Swarms! However Tabby's star doesn't actually exist anymore and things known as "amnestic" things are being used to conceal this fact from the general public. |

I mean, it's not too farfetched that Tabby's star doesn't exist anymore. The light that reaches us is 1,280 years old. What if the dimming is the result of the star being siphoned by some advanced space emprie to fuel their civilization and the star is long gone. |
