Spider Stellar Engine: Galactic Travel for Binary Stars

TL;DR Summary
Clement Vidal's research explores the concept of a "spider stellar engine," where advanced civilizations could use binary star systems, specifically spider pulsars, as propulsion systems to migrate across galaxies. This involves using the pulsar's radiation to evaporate its companion star, generating thrust. Vidal suggests that these systems could emit technosignatures, offering potential evidence of extraterrestrial engineering. While speculative, the idea encourages further investigation into observable technosignatures from such systems.
