"We would need to consider the possibility that the source was created (or trapped as a primordial black hole) by a highly ...

The Kardashev scale, envisions civilizations as endlessly progressing, building gigantic spaceships or Dyson spheres around ...

In the 1960s, physicist Freeman Dyson proposed that advanced alien civilizations could be building out enormous megastructures around a star to harness much of its energy. These shells, dubbed Dyson ...

Some of the leading theories on Dyson spheres have suggested that it would be a series of satellites, and not a single unit, that would scoop up that power and transfer it across deep space ...

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 ...

Somebody told me about Dyson spheres in the mid-1970s. Maybe it was Poul Anderson. Freeman Dyson’s revolutionary construction had habitats and widgetry of any description surrounding a star.

A recent study reveals that certain configurations of artificial spheres and rings around binary stars could be stable. The work of Colin McInnes, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal ...

Support the show: / pmsutter New research shows how to build Dyson Spheres and ringworlds, and how to keep them stable. The trick: you need to use just the right binary system.

Dyson spheres and rings could exist in the universe, if we’re dealing with a certain type of star system. One physicist tapped into centuries of research on the three body problem of celestial ...

The idea of Dyson Sphere’s has been around for decades. When Freeman Dyson explored the concept he acknowledged that they may not be a physical sphere but could be a swarm of satellites in a spherical ...

Earlier this year, the group published a paper documenting their use of machine learning to comb through large datasets of infrared images for Dyson spheres — networks of alien satellites harvesting ...
