The Dyson Sphere Is Now Real?

Since theoretical physicist Freemon Dyson first explored the concept of a Dyson sphere back in 1960, scientists have theorized that the applications of such a megastructure, though beneficial, would not be possible to achieve due to the sheer materials and manpower needed to create such a massive shell. Now, according to a recent write-up in Futurism, scientists are rethinking exactly what it would take to produce the long-theorized thought experiment, including demolishing a Jupiter-sized planet. Though the idea of an intergalactic construction job of this size may cause even the cast of CBS’ The Big Bang Theory to crumple in cosmic horror, the science behind the absurd concept seems to be mathematically sound.
A Dyson sphere is a conceptual thought experiment first proposed by Freeman Dyson in 1960, which posits that a megastructure encompassing a star could capture a large percentage of its solar power output, extracting far more power than an orbiting planet could ever hope to see from its sky-bound energy source. Because only a fraction of, for instance, our solar system’s sun can produce energy emissions that reach the surface of our orbiting planet, a structure that circles the sun would enable humanity to turn the entire surface of the ball of hot plasma into usable energy.
