The technology page at https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-topic/45b175dbc0d73 https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-topic/45b175dbc0d73 is worth skimming for anyone who is interested in posthuman sci-fi. Much of the exotic tech on their is based on realistic (but highly speculative) physics. The site also has a good list of physically plausible megascale engineering: https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-topic/45b5645097563 https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-topic/45b5645097563
- henearkr 6y agoI love the hard-sf in there. However there are some weird things, like these Dyson-megastructures, that are polyhedral and thus not equidistant to the gravity center: https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4670a60a449d5 https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4670a60a449d5 Would it not be unstable? Gravity pull and thus orbital velocities would be wildly different at different points of the segments... I wonder if I can bring the project to "harden" their SF, if this is truly collaborative... Or, at least, if there are discussion pages where they can convince me of the existence (at this point in future) of suitable techs rendering the megastructure viable ;)
