Giant alien 'megastructures' against Spacetime Curvature

Big trouble in Relativity, having light data they can't interpret.
Curvature of spacetime is not there.

Astronomers may have found giant alien 'megastructures' orbiting
star near the Milky Way

Kepler works by analysing light from distant places in the universe
— looking for changes that take place when planets move in front of 
their stars. But the dip in starlight from KIC 8462852 doesn't seem
to be the normal pattern for a planet.

Tabetha Boyajian, a postdoc at Yale told The Atlantic: “We’d never 
seen anything like this star. It was really weird. We thought it might
be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out.”
