Dyson spheres come up a lot in science fiction, as well as in discussions around alien civilizations. But what are they? Do they exist and the even bigger question… Could humans ever make one?

No.
Have to dismantle the entire solar system.
Need magic technologies.
(antigravity which does not exist as gravity is an effect of space curvature and not a fundamental force.
Centrifugal effect simulated gravity outside a spaceship sized environment is impractical for many reasons)
5:56 what do you mean by "watts per second"?
Maby just — watts ?
Its impossible to build it with only earth materials, no resources enough to. In this point we got to mining the whole solar system and to be honest I think thats not enough!
Ok, so what would we do with all that energy? Power enormous server emulating virutal Earth because…decisions had to be made and we kinda sacrificed real Earth?
Haven't we already encountered an alien presence on Earth? Why search for distant signals when what you're looking for is right in front of you?
The disturbed plain unpredictably object because act phytochemically whisper since a square math. sparkling, berserk battle
we should start by putting the earth in a plastic bag. If you use 1/1000 of an inch thick plastic at a height of say 100 miles… The atmosphere would hold it up. A lot easier. But give a calculation as to how much plastic that is. It's about pi cubic miles of plastic. So basically mount Everest… Elastic… 1/1000 of an inch thick.
😆 LOL Joe Scott is funny. Love his humor.
going to heaven would be a whole lot easier than building something in space
but

Energy output in watts/s? Are you sure?
This is one of my sci fi pet peeve ideas. It is absolutely ludicrous in so many ways. I'll edit this comment with details as to why when I'm not at work.

I woke up to these sifi lies a long time ago just drop by to see all the lost souls that believe in this fantasy.
I believe that DS would be really out there. like between earth and mars or between mars and earth. The reason is because of the radiation build up from the sun.
I imagine the energy put into a Dynson swarm or sphere would negate what you would get back before the species would figure something else out. Also, the change in gravity while consuming planetary masses would surely create chaos in the solar system. Instead, would it be more feasible to construct a self repairing membrane that can adjust its opacity as needed to allow the Earth to warm and cool on demand. Machines tasked as custodians in a mesh network would maintain and harvest energy on one side and then using microwave or lasers could beam energy to the moon where we house facilities like rail guns for sending packages to other planets or energy in safe ways to Earth all part of a massive collaborative mesh network of energy. The membrane could slowly grow and allow space debra through or be caught. A sort of space web if you will. As hundreds of years pass we would use the growing storage of energy to free up invention of long term mega vessels that could carry machines to the next solar system where they could then plunder resources more quickly without worry of harm coming to our home system. Building new artificial worlds that bridge machine and biological systems. Advances in one system helping the other but evolution of one system would be different than the other yet linked. Am i still typing? Are you still reading? Time for bed. 🤣
📄 👀 Earth 🌍………..🤣🤣🤣
Mirrors on the inside of the shell?! Are you sure you want to amplify that kind of energy, meddling fuckernauts?!
No, not like what you imagine, the open sphere grid might work , but even then your civilization would be in the end game run at that point.
Halo?
Our future is cold, not warm so I dont know why we would want to make it even colder. Research what cold water melt causes and has over and over and over many times during earth's "recent" history. Burr!!
WATTS PER SECOND is not a unit!!! AAAAAAAAH

How would we be human anymore?
How brilliant is it to speculate what humans may do and what goals it will pursue a thousand years from now if 200 years from now we will be a bunch of conscious operating systems?
How does such a consciousness lie to itself about the need to keep the limitations , obligations and morals that it no longer needs if it's no longer human or better yet an organic sentient being?
Honestly, I think the earth will be left alone by any future generations, you know, nostalgia…
Good Stuff Joe.
Imagine the memes we could make if we harnessed the power of a sun.
what if we don't have to destroy the earth eventually. what if we make it a giant space ship that can freely move around and live by itself to seek out a new star when this one eventually dies
I hate to be a killjoy, but is disassembling planets wise? Assuming we could even do it. What would the side-effects be of disassembling Mercury say?
Wait. Do we live on a planet?. Not just a flat pie in 2D space. And why do it have a silly name like egh? Have i forgotten all…. Help am i becoming a Flat egh' er?
