But it’s unstable.
So is a Dyson sphere?
Spheres aren’t unstable around a star. Rings are unstable in orbit around a star.
If a civilization can figure out how to make one, they can keep it from sliding into the sun!
Like how if they figure out how to build an 833' long ship they can keep it from immediately hitting an iceberg and sinking?
Or the most advanced starship in the galaxy not having a Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure
We could just ask the mice.
Damn, imagine the number of lifeboats you’d need to evacuate a Dyson Sphere?
At least we know what the band will be playing
Where you gonna go?
You know, that's a really good point, but this is on such a bigger scale and if it's a known problem today, I think they would know about it by the time they can build something like that.
Just glue 3 of them together, that'll make them 300% stable!
220, 221. Whatever it takes!
