Tell me more about this power source that is immune to thermodynamics.

  Just splitting matter into energy? Why would you ever use a Dyson Sphere, when you can just force decay your trash into pure energy.

    I am confused. If nuclear fission/fusion was perfectly efficient, which it isn't, the energy produced still ends up as heat. The second law. A hundred watts of power, after being used, eventually ends up as heat. It doesn't disappear. This survey was looking for that waste heat.

      E=mc^2, all matter is just energy. We only don't know how to release it. Sure you can claim that does not violate laws of thermodynamics, but eradicates concept of Dyson spheres as useless.
