- ethmarks 6mo agoKurzgesagt didn't invent the concept of disassembling Mercury to build a Dyson swarm. Stuart Armstrong proposed it in a lecture in 2012[0]. [0]: https://youtu.be/zQTfuI-9jIo?si=3jwmhoB7zx6rclhb https://youtu.be/zQTfuI-9jIo?si=3jwmhoB7zx6rclhb
- 0xf00ff00f 6mo agoPretty sure the idea predates that lecture, it appears in Charles Stross' novel Accelerando from 2005 (which is based on short stories that were published years earlier).
- rmijic 6mo agoThat video is describing the generic concept of building a Dyson sphere from Mercury but lacks a proper account of waste heat removal and energy. It also lacks a specific timeline.
