Helium is limited on earth and we need it to cool things like MRIs and other massive electromagnets.
Apart from literally saving humanity from a climate disaster, we can still use our MRIs!

- russfink 7y agoStart looking for unexplained helium signatures among the exoplanets, as evidence of a civilization that applied this method successfully.
- anonuser123456 7y agoAnd when you don't find them because said civilizations were smart enough to just go build Dyson spheres around red dwarfs then what?
- ncmncm 7y agoNobody will bother with Dyson spheres, or any sort of solar power collection, once they have portable fusion generation. Once you have that, stars and planets are superfluous except as raw material.
