It's interesting how you're assuming that a species which obviously has been navigating way past the point where any useful power can be extracted from their star would not see the utility of developing fusion power
- krsdcbl 4y agodepending on the tech our hypothetical aliens employ, we might argue they solved hyperefficient power storage before fusion?
- sva_ 4y agoFusion sounds like hyper effective power storage/retrieval to me.
- lagrange77 4y ago> past the point where any useful power can be extracted from their star I guess, if a species used a Dyson sphere for so long, they will certainly have colonized other solar systems, which each have their own star to milk.
- dreamcompiler 4y agoI'm assuming that such a species would themselves have fully exploited the energy output of their local star(s) before they embarked on building an artificial one. And that they would view any species trying this in reverse order as unintelligent.
- HereIGoAgain 4y agoThat's assuming a lot I think. Having the ability to create a large amount of power on demand is a lot more useful than it's popular to think these days.
