It could easily be an engineered star producing materials for
an advanced civilization as they need.

a hypothesis built on option B is speculative.

Great example of BJ retard physics. Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes

HVAC science is much easier. You just make up your results and then tell

Done.
