I'm amused by all the "but the Dyson Sphere might affect the natural environment" comments.
Building a Dyson Sphere is 100% incompatible with Sierra Club philosophy!
It is about ruthlessly destroying the natural world and replacing it with something you prefer. At maximum scale!
- prepend 2y agoIts important to only purchase organic Dyson spheres.
- dmd 2y agoWhen I was 10 (1988) reading Larry Niven's "Integral Trees" I was disappointed that the story didn't end - as I had expected it to - with the Carther descendants eventually building trees to entirely surround the star.

- mglz 2y agoIf you can build a Dyson sphere it should be trivial to maintain a few extra planets worth of natural environment, or even life seed some new worlds.

- lven 2y agonah you can just create little holes in the sphere to illuminate the planets. negligible power loss. Earth and all the planets live on the sun's crumbs, no the (crumbs of the cumbs)^12
- micw 2y agoGood point. Since all our planets surround the sun more or less in the same plane, the dyson sphere could cover the remaining 95% of the sphere without affecting the planets too much. Remains the issue that you'd probably need the material of those planets to build the dyson sphere.
