Dyson sphere you mean? We are centuries away from achieving anything like that...
- haarts 6y agoA Dyson cloud is a similar mega structure but not a continuous surface. I think it is more commonly referred to as a Dyson swarm. Isaac Arthur [0] had an episode about it in which he mentioned such a structure to be quite feasible with modern day technology.
