Robot2600 12/14/21 10:56:14 AM #46:	Ringworld (and sequels) are the best books about dyson-like structures. Eventually, advanced civilization will move beyond Dyson spheres. Ideally, for example, you want artificial suns because suns do not last forever. People are getting too hung up on the idea that the sphere is 100% a sphere, as well as the means of energy transfer. Like I said, beaming energy isn't even a technical problem, we can already do things like that. Remember that even a world like Star Trek, there aren't really Dyson spheres. If you can travel faster than light, you don't need to build Dyson spheres at all, you can just spread out. --- Marvel presents Marvel Marvel's The Marvels <cite>Robot2600 posted [p:960905347] in How would ...
