The bold question-askers at What If explore what building a Dyson Sphere around the sun could achieve. Donald Trump health update issued after physical 10 Secrets McDonald’s Employees Aren't Supposed ...

In the 1960s, physicist Freeman Dyson proposed that advanced alien civilizations could be building enormous megastructures around a star to harness its energy. Such a move would allow a civilization ...

Dyson spheres, the hypothetical mega-structures that advanced alien civilizations might use to enclose a star and harness its energy, suffer from a fatal flaw: They are catastrophically unstable. But ...

A researcher from German research institute Forschungszentrum Jülich has investigated for the first time the possibility of designing a Dyson sphere utilizing photovoltaic modules. A Dyson sphere is a ...

They used high-resolution e-MERLIN and EVN (e-VLBI) observations of a radio source associated with Dyson Sphere candidate G, identified as part of Project Hephaistos. The radio source, VLASS ...

There are two problems with arguments in favour of Dyson spheres, massive structures that advanced alien species might build to capture all of a star’s energy. First, long before a civilisation could ...

When people hear “Dyson sphere,” their first thought is probably a heavy-duty vacuum. They certainly don’t think of a megastructure surrounding and harnessing a star’s energy with the purpose of ...
