Abstract

Terrestrial scientific — technica1 civi1ization (STC) produces the power of about 1013 watt, Dyson’s — type STC energy output — about 4 × 1027 watt. The probability of the existence of the Dyson — type STC is negligible. There are well known the difficu1ties of the rea1ization of the manned interstellar flight. No terrestria1 — 1ike STC could fulfill the energy, power, financial and man — power demands to realize the interstellar flight. We have not observed astroengineering phenomena and any other signals that could be rea1ized by Dyson — type STC. This could constitute the indirect proof that Dyson — type STC controlling the energy of amount 4 × 1026 watt does not exist, at least in the vicinity of Solar System up to 200 light years apart.
