Abstract : The study of multidimensional alien megastructures offers an intriguing junction of sophisticated astrophysical ideas with the quest for extraterrestrial intelligence. This research examines the theoretical underpinnings, detection methods, and prospective consequences of megastructures like as Dyson spheres, Ringworlds, and stellar engines for exoplanetary habitability. We study the feasibility and observable signatures of higher-dimensional structures using notions from string theory and M-theory. Initial simulations of a 4D Dyson Sphere, 4D Ring World, and higher-dimensional stellar engines interacting with chosen exoplanets show encouraging findings for energy collection efficiency, structural stability, and habitability potential. Our findings indicate that sophisticated civilizations may use higher- dimensional technology to maximize energy management and habitat construction, opening up new pathways for identifying techno signatures and broadening our understanding of the universe. Future study should concentrate on creating more advanced models, enhancing detecting technologies, and investigating the real engineering issues that come with these ambitious constructions.
