>Orbiting the Black Hole at the Center of our Galaxy

A bit of speculation:

What if we accept the Dark Forest explanation for the Fermi Paradox?

In that case, a Black Hole might be viewed as evidence of a technologically advanced civilization. How so?

They find a way to bend light so that their space cannot be viewed by any external observer. And all EM signals (potentially) generated by such a civilization would be contained within the event horizon.

And we seem to find more/larger black holes near the centers of galaxies, where stellar density is higher... and the distances between stars is shorter (fractions of a single light year) Just the kind of place you might expect an interstellar civilization to develop first.

To the best of our knowledge, literally every single galaxy in the universe has a supermassive black hole at its center. So no, they are not at all evidence of a civilization.
