Eventually people will make one but i dot think there is enough material of anything in our planet so we would need to travel to different solar systems and planets to even mine or extract enough material. But if humanity learns how to get to different planets and solar system (before we kill each other or extinct ourselves) then ..... yea it’s not happening unless we find a duplication glitch

​@alertonoff 4 ..... but we are talking about this happening verry far in the future and with satalites that can be added over time gradually, true it seems crazy to do it now but so was building skyscrappers or going to space a thousand years ago would have also been insane and impossible to pay ....

Full sized? Nope. That would require the world being able to work together under a unified, functioning leadership, which is, in my opinion, far less likely than accomplishing all of the mechanical challenges required to build the structure. That, and I don't think we have that much time. ;)

TO SAVE HUMANITY WE MUST HARNESS THE POWER OF ARGENT ENERGY.

We build it, containment field fails and good bye earth as it becomes a sun and possibly a black whole.

I wonder if a Dyson Sphere would make it possible to have life on plaints that receive to much sun because of blocking out the sun when required tho reliability would be a scare

"fossil fuels are made of plants." abiotic oil wood like to have a word with you.

With great power comes great electicity bill

Everybody gangsta till we change global warming into cosmic warming

Nothing proves the retarded NPC nature of mankind than the idea of a Dyson sphere

What would happen when the sun next expands?

I hope the player realizes you npc suffering is not good to me the player character..., nvm

We’d have to harvest the mass of a planet to build this or more.

would it be possible to focus the light and solar radiation of a star using a ton of mirrors in a Dyson sphere at a planet and burn the planet apart? idk if this is a stupid question.

underqualified youtubers lul

I thought the Dyson Sphere was a solid structure, as opposed to the series of rings you displayed. Which honestly makes the moral dilemma of harvesting the entire system a moot point. Those planets would be shut off from the suns light anyway once the Sphere is finished. The idea of the brain though is terrifying.

Ummnmmm I think it might actually be a Dyson space vacuum cleaner built by dyson itself!!😂😂

Just wondering would having this Dyson sphere effect the amount of sun light / energy? Cooling the earth 🌎

3:57 the actual graph is stagnating to 10-11 Billion

If the sun is so hot, that it burns everything that even comes close to it... How are you going to build a sphere around it??

Dismantling other planets for materials? Just make a cobblestone generator

If resources are a problem, why don’t they just build a cobblestone generator?

Orrrrr. Just make mini suns here on earth with fusion. Which we shoullllld in theory have in the next 60 years.

A single Dyson ring, probably growing from a ring of satellites, would seem to be the way a sphere would evolve. But would any civilization need to build anything bigger than a ring?

Dyson Sphere Program has you doing just this! Hope this gets seen so more people can experience it :D

Sounds like some Halo shit going on here

Bro, big brain.... if at distance earth itself and live on it? same time when sun gets bigger and bigger, technically could increase the size of the dyson sphere? dayumm.... eitherway way the glaring issue is sunwaves??? which earth's magnetic field is blocking... so IDK.... feels bad won't see it happen my lifetime :(

Wouldn't a dysonspere kill earth? By blocking out the light and killing the ecosystem

Use Dyson Vacuums. lol

we haven't found aliens because we are looking at a planets past every time we look at a distant galaxy

Instead of a solid sphere, why wouldn't we just build a satellites system encircled the sun on low orbit (the Dyson swarm) ? We would need far less materials (though probably still need to dismantle a planet), it will be immune to asteroids (since it is not solid, and in unfortunate cases a satellites get hit, we would only lose a single, replacable satellite instead of having to repair the entire thing), and far cheaper.

OMG!! I think maybe we should probably think a little smaller, like maybe a matter anti-matter reactor. Just saying...

China recently activated an artificial sun... nuclear powered.

but where's thoughty1

If we made a dyson sphere then every other empire would get an annoying popup saying "imperium of man has built a dyson sphere"

Stellaris is a great game, but the Dyson Sphere Program allows you to truly experience the construction of the Dyson Sphere🚀

I've always found it fun to think about sci fi always, ALWAYS having some sort of great precursor species that colonized all the stars and fell into ruin, leaving all the current different species on planets to advance themselves and rediscover the ancient one's technology. But, but what if we're that ancient precursor race in the making? What if we will be the first to expand massively across the stars, only to die out in some grand tagedy far, far into the future leaving our creations as their own species on their own planets? Who's to say we won't *actually* be the first? I mean there has to be a first. What if we're it?

It would be impossible to make a dyson sphere because it would take more resources than a planet has and would require a resource that couldn't flex or sheer. It would probably need an impossible amount of heat to form it too.

I will begin to comment on everything including stories and memes just because I’m bored.

Why bother making the spehere sturdy. Make it flimsy. Let the asteroids punch through, and repair it. Would be cheaper than making the whole thing asteroid proof. Also, by the time we can make a dyson sphere, we would have mastered the ability to manipulate asteroids. We would have cleaned up most of them. Does the sphere need to be solid at all? Couldn't a magnetic shell accomplish the same thing? Hmmmm, I guess a magnetic shell would be a necessary stage in the process of creating the sphere. And thoughty, you never mentioned the required resources. Would we have process all the other matter in the system to make such a structure possible?

We could probably do a Dyson Swarm to begin with for quite a while until we'd develop enough to do something more than just a Dyson Swarm.

I think a Dyson Ring would be more realistic. Or maybe a Dyson swarm

Fake and pointless video

Like half this video is middle schoolers science report

2:09

Where would we get that much metal. Earth is 1 million times smaller than the sun how would be produce that

Ah yes, the Mini mega structure

Are we the only life forms that exist in the universe? No. Are we alone? Yes! Why? Because Ted technology needed to travel the distance needed in a human lifetime does not exist!

Overshoot day, the day we should all have donne somthing, but did nothing to avoid a crisis when it could still be avoided. Now where f*kt.

There is an alternative to the aforementioned Dyson Sphere that would actually be more efficient for harnessing energy: The Dyson Cloud.

just a thought if there was not enough materials to build the dyson sphere then maybe use all the meteor that are attracted to the sun, built the screen that can slow down and harvest the meteor. new materials will be discovered too.

Your videos are dope! ✨❤️

Wait a moment... Doesn't that mean that the Sun would become the new mitochondrion?

There wouldn't be any asteroids if you've used them all to make the sphere

2:11 came out of nowhere lol 😆

Maybe we’d be lucky and it would be a fallen empire that’s happy to just ignore us so long as we remain on our side of space. 😂 and maybe just require our best and brightest minds join them every few centuries.

Building a dyson sphere is like collecting every tree on earth into a pile then setting it on fire to fuel a giant boiler. Its a batshit crazy idea that would cost soo much more resources, to do the same thing fusion would do at millions upon millions of times less cost, for way more energy.

Why make a dyson sphere if you can make satélites orbiting the sun having the same effect, no large material need less of a asteroid problem list goes on.

Thing is, such a structure would have to be removed or abandoned and replaced every few billion years when the star implodes into a supernova

I’m up next period

6:30 to get the start of the fucking point i’ve never skipped more on a video

What if a Matrioshka Brain powered by a Dyson Sphere went full on Skynet?

sorry to tell you bud, but we will have long invented fusion energy and far exceeded sun energy output by the time we can actually build a dyson sphere, so it would be rather pointless. Kind of like this video.....

Gamers will finally stop complaining about lag

Instead of a Dyson Sphere, why not a Dyson Disc or Dyson Ring? Instead of fully encompassing the star it would be more like a ring, still absorbing a ton of energy. Also another issue with Dyson Spheres is that they will collapse under their stars gravity. A ring around a star that is spinning would act like a really stretched out planet revolving around its star. The spinning motion creates an outward force that counters the star’s gravity and would technically cause the Dyson Ring to be in orbit. As for the Dyson Swarm, we still have a problem, the satellites nearest the star’s poles in orbit would fall out of orbit and into the star (the equator being the ring that is revolving at the speed to keep it in orbit- all other points would be moving slower and thus slowly drift into the star. Any ring moving faster would start moving away from the star..). Each ring of satellites would need to be orbiting in their own direction which would suggest many different layers to prevent different rings from colliding with each other.

So what you are saying is making Death Stars are cool now

What if we use the nuclear missiles or atom bombs to destroy a planet like Jupiter to make a small black hole and keep feeding it so it doesn’t collapse then build a Dyson sphere around the black hole and study one up close

How bout we build 4 or 8 solar panel arrays the size of West Virgina equally spaced across the equator and make them provide electricity for everybody

Am i missing something here? The amount of heat coming from the sun would surely melt anything that we tried so i dont see this happening at all unless we discover some miraculous heat resistant material

This might be a stupid question, but how do we transfer the power to earth? I understand we could live on a Dyson sphere, but could we do that with a Dyson swarm?

that's why nature put this covid-19 virus on the planet trying to thin out the herd

don't save the Earth for your grandchildren .......save the Earth from your grandchildren

over 50% of live births are unplanned or unintended

every five days the population of the Earth increases by 1 million people

but what if that star wasnt diming bc of a dyson sphere but bc that sun is dying maby its sucking its energy back but it will have to come out soon or later we wont live at that point but very far in the futere peopel might actully see a star explode

I wish thoughty was my teacher

We can do a dyson swarm that can be done with the current tech

It is easier to build a sun ourselves in small scale or have huge magnifying glass in space and concentrate the rays on a special sun panel.

youtube channel kurzgesagt figured that a dyson swarm made out of really big solar panels, not a sphere would work better, because it will be harder for it to get hit by asteroids and wouldn't need that much material to build unlike a full on sphere.

What Would Happen If We Built a Real Dyson Sphere?..it would be privatized and price jacked up agaist us..no? its been all we know in history...so prove me wrong..lol , but that would be an amazing achievement really , has anyone heard what china built?

Maybe asteroids would be better than planets, for build materials I mean.

maybe you would be able to load gta in 4 minutes instead of 5

So we just place the son in a case?

Just don't give Apple the contract for the solar system sized supercomputer, else well have to rely on their "geniuses" to repair it....

At 20:00 you talk about how the sun isn't being blocked by a single megastructure, rather lots of very small objects, therefore it's unlikely this is evidence of life. You then go on to talk about how Dyson Spheres as you commonly think of them are impractical, and if we were actually going to do that we'd likely just slowly flood the suns orbit with lots of smaller solar satellites. Did you not think to combine these lines of thought? Maybe ET have some kind of micro satellite technology and they can just release swarms of these things to create quick and easy power generation.

1 of the problem is we are selfish ignorant species that kill hurt and sell are own species and show that the smallest things a country would kill people for something and it’s sad so if we don’t get past are differences we may never get to interstellar travel or travel though are solar systems

Why don’t we just use the thousands and thousands of nukes we have to use nuclear energy? Like the voyager spacecraft is still operational after like 40 years with no close star and no solar panels

Filter skip list: 6:15 to skip past the intro setup. Ad break 6:55 to 8:09

What about harvesting the sun for metal. There's a guy that says we can harvest the sun to build a dyson sphere. Also build a second earth.

A the poing we build it even if we are able The Sun will probably even be dead what about a Super Nova? The stars arent also forever nothing is forever

I think we should completely cover the entire surface of the moon in solar panels. I also think we should change some of our habits and harmonize better with this planet before our offspring gets stuck with the debt.

But we don't have to build a whole dyson sphere. We just need to build a part of one and that would pretty much be it.

It's a shame this video came out before Dyson Sphere Program. Would have been a much more related game for the video (though whether they would sponsor it is another question).

We should just make a cobblestone generator Lol

You say our first time seeing them... there's been a couple of governments around the world that's admitted to being in contact with aliens.

There’s absolutely no way in hell we’re ever building anything like that. The cost in manpower, materials, money and comically enough energy would be so mind boggling gargantuan that it would make any rewards gained effectively moot.

no

One possible use for all the energy captured by a Dyson sphere might well be powering the generators that create synthetic unobtanium.

So many people think of people living on the inside of a Dyson sphere, and assume they'll be held in place by gravity. But the gravitational field inside a spherical shell is zero. It cancels out.

@um bc : a cylinder would work. But it has to be very precisely made. Otherwise the air and water would pool in the deepest places and anything more than a few dozen miles up will be in space.

if it rotates, at least in equatorial regions there will be gravitation based on diameter and rotation speed. a sphere would not be nice to live within because of various gravitation from equator to poles, but a rotating ring/cylinder would have the same gravitation anywhere on its inner surface
