Can a dark star that we can't see exist near our solar system? It can generate enough heat for life to form but its mass wouldn't be dense enough for its gravity to be noticeable. An ancient race that existed before light did would live in darkness underground, living off of cave food. The low radiation allowed them to live long lives and develop big brain technology far surpassing ours. Once light began to form they were advanced enough to build ships to navigate toward the nearest habitable planet Earth where they lived in darkness performing their weird experiments. I guess they made us for extracting surface metals. Maybe the alien freaking out and vomiting was suffering from radiation poisoning? Why would it deactivate its space suit in captivity?

Nothing can exsist without light

Yes it can. There's bioluminescent undersea life that lives off the heat from hydrothermal vents. They never see the light of day yet they survive.

Hard to tell, but it seems very few species deep in the ocean have actually developed the kind of intelligence to compare to humans and other surface dwellers. The energy and radiation of the Sun might have something to do with that next step in evolution.
The Sun could have been further from Earth before. There have been many theories including that Venus was flung by Jupiter, perhaps when Jupiter got either dragged or was pushed further into the system so many planets got into a disarray.

I'm basing this assumption off of what Alex Jones said when he was talking about them. How we have shorter lives than them because we live much closer to the sun than they do.

Well,....maybe find better and more reputable sources? Not saying find only hard science videos but together with ancient mythology and stuff like that you can let your imagination consider many arguments and ideas to build upon your interest. But Alex Jones? Eh...

Dark stars are purely hypothetical anyway. I didn't intend for this thread to be anything more than speculation.
Here's some hard evidence of deep space civilizations though.

Coolio will look at it in a couple minutes. As far as dark stars, if one were close enough to matter someone would have detected them through gravitational perturbations in the outer planet's orbits.
I did see a short vid the other day about a hypothetical fly-by of a binary system that could have caused disturbances.
Regardless, for as much as these aliens toot their own horns about how great they are, they sure love this planet as it is, huh. And if they don't then I'm sure whatever happened in this system was their fault so...
