Even stars fusion is not free energy they expending low atomic weight of hydrogen and helium producing heavier elements. This process is generally irreversible you can’t produce hydrogen from helium at least with positive energy output. The breaking entropy would be reverse fusion when we produce lighter elements from heavier with positive net energy. This is fundamentally impossible.

Where even if the entire planet wants a thing built they can't do it because the owner of the land says "Nope, I need it." Also if that society has access to alternate universes that are uninhabitable, but filled with energy, they might tap that and destroy the planets they live on. look at our planet, more advanced technological countries tend to have birth control, environmental regulations, and limitations on growth designed to produce a higher quality of life than a greater number of consumers.

What an excellent, well thought out piece in an already illustrious library of work you've done. Well done my friend.

I always wondered after watching Dyson Swarm related episodes of SFIA whether someone actually calculated if there is a limit of coverage above which it becomes ineffective to add more satellites to the swarm. For example won't they take away the sunlight from each other most of the time even with optimized orbits as the coverage goes up? And after this episode I also started to wonder whether all the surrounding LWIR radiating other satellites won't cause a problem to each other by making it difficult to to radiate away the waste heat. Depending whether there are such limitations and where they are the 'completed' Dyson Swarms could look totally different for remote observers.

Been looking forward to this episode

Whoa, I detect Peter F Hamilton, the science fiction writer’s themes here. “..of a mysterious astronomical event known as the Dyson Pair Enclosure. Two stars, located roughly 1,000 light years from Earth (750 light years from the edge of Commonwealth space), disappeared some time in the past. The theory is that they have been enclosed inside Dyson spheres.” And his “Dreaming Void”, a mysterious alien made void at center of galaxy, series as well. After watching this, is see Arthur takes a deep, hard science angle of these as possible technology signatures, not a galactic space opera.

It should be ran as a business like anything else (few people are aware it actually is to and extent) the budget for nasa is pretty low admittedly but they hold patents that bring them in quite a bit of money outside of budget in large part due to the military. The advanced fighter pilot helmets that allow synching to the onboard computers is a prime example. Nasa created the tech, private company pays rights to utilize it, sells it to militarily for a bigger price to subsidize the cost on the royalty fees and it goes back to nasa. Cutting military budgets would mean we dont get that tech, or we pay the company less for it and then they may not be able to afford future innovations from nasa.

Poor, poor Olaf Stapledon, everybody always calls them Dyson spheres.

I'm pretty sure at this point that we are the first, and only, intelligent life in the universe so far. I think by the time another intelligent species arises we will have already built a K3 or even K4 civilisation (or something between the two) and for that reason such life may never even get an opportunity to come into being. But if they do, it will be abundantly obvious to them that they are not alone pretty much as soon as they have radio telescopes and start looking. Humanity will not exist as it is now, due to evolution or even synthetic life taking our place, but it will be a direct continuation of what we are and what we have built. It seems pretty clear that right now the universe is ours for the taking.

You are now the only regular thing in my unemplyed schedual. Is that good or bad

Over-unity techs are one oft-overlooked resolution of the Fermi paradox. Most civilisations probably crack mechanical OU in their pre-industrial stages, just as we did (Johann Bessler in 1712). This solution accumulates reactionless momentum from gravity and time in an otherwise closed system of co-rotating parts (ie. it only works in a statorless config), which is then grounded upon harnessing; the energy-gain cycle (actually a PE discount) sinks counter-momentum to the planet as it continues accelerating upwards every cycle of the interaction towards inertially-suspended weights that are not reciprocally accelerating back down to meet it - thus applying an 'upwards' net acceleration; the resulting gain in internal angular momentum is then also earthed when the wheel is used to drive other, conventional, machinery, altering the planet's resting momentum state in both angular and linear dimensions - Bessler's 1717 winter demo in castle Weissenstein almost certainly causing the devastating 1717 Christmas storms.. this was the real reason he destroyed the wheel soon after, claiming IP concerns (ie. anyone else who understood his IP would likewise realise his culpability).. Any civilisation lucky enough to dodge _that_ bullet then has to contend with the risk of localised vacuum blowouts caused by EM OU techs - we're just entering into this phase now with modern-day 'Besslers' such as Yildiz and Rossi et al - the EM constant alpha and strength of the Higgs interaction being functions of the vacuum potential, any changes in which thus destabilise local matter, precipitating a 'big rip' radiating outwards at c and destroying everything inside the bubble. The Kardashev scale ignores such possibilities, but also the reality of non-dissipative loss mechanisms (the corollary to OU techs), which for instance can sink energy directly to the virtual photonsphere and time, without production of heat: ie. consider the subject of Rutherford's first paper in 1886; entropy viscosity (Sv) - take the F*d integral of a permanent magnet attaching over some small distance to a sample of rough iron; pause and wait for the Barkhausen jumps to cease, then separate the samples against the now-greater force (from the passive rise in B after the output phase of the interaction was complete) - a net loss of mech. energy / work over a full cycle, to the EM force / virtual photon mediations / ambient quantum momentum of the vacuum. In principle you could stop a freight train on a dime without conserving a single Joule, dissipating nothing as heat. Our classical physics is incomplete (let alone everything else); time-variant interactions / force / time asymmetries _open_ ostensibly-closed systems, thus obviating reliance on local classical energy gradients and their inherent limitations. If we don't crash ourselves into the Moon or reshuffle the local island of stability, _then_ we might make a toehold onto the Kardashev scale, but c'mon, we're idiots, largely winging it, and probably regardless of which slimy rock we start out on..

@@slthbob It's a two-year-old comment, but FWIW i still have genuine concerns about the sustainability of EM or mechanical OU techs; the time-conservation of momentum is so fundamental across _all_ of physics, and so intrinsic to the conservation of energy, that any example of its non-conservation has a high probability of disrupting the system's resting momentum state. Given the increasingly-desperate demand for alternative, low-carbon energy, and the generally-poor grasp - even amongst many scientists - of the inextricable relationship between momentum _and_ energy, a viable OU design could be rushed through environmental certifications or even go viral in the wild, long before anyone's thought to question whether it might be causing such a thing as 'momentum pollution' to the planet - which, incidentally, continues to undergo measured changes not fully understood - and that's before we even get to the potential risks of popping our local bubble of false vacuum via an ill thought-out EM exploit! However my concerns about conservation of the planet's resting momentum state have lately taken an even more surprising twist - i've discovered there's hordes of aliens visiting, using seemingly-reactionless propulsion systems; this *definitely* alters any closed system's resting momentum state.. although that of course may now be the least of our immediate concerns.. Briefly: back in June YT began showing me UFO vids. I clicked 'like' on the better ones, so it showed me more. I subbed to some channels, and now a little over two months later i've ended up compiling a text file indexing seemingly-legit UFO vids by category, with short descriptions using consistent terms to assist keyword searches, here: drive.google.com/file/d/1RXOssOGtruFqA1h8TA_eWqMaPgF4unUQ/view?usp=sharing We're clearly being subject to en masse surveillance, at both coarse and fine scales, by predominantly at least one, but perhaps more, alien technology bases. Numbers seem to be escalating, in frequency and magnitude. The main contingent consists of saucers deploying various forms of smaller craft, all with incredible abilities. They make extensive use of metamaterials and macroscopic quantum effects, and the tech is scale-invariant down to insect-sizes, if not smaller. Search the list for the following keywords: • "miniatures" - high-def, point-blank long shots of tiny alien craft (mind your jaw on the floor) • "tether" - box-orbs extruding cables out between them • "entering volcanos" - crazy updates last week from the ongoing eruption in Iceland • "shoot-down attempts" - UFO's absorbing weapons fire • "giant cubes" - Borg-tastic, but 'scale invariant' cuts both ways apparently So, umm, yeah.. minor update, there, on the whole 'Fermi paradox' thing..

Miniaturization and hyper speeding consciousness and speeds could slow down the rate of entropy to a ridiculous amount for that relative state of being. Just a thought

While the current technological knowledge used to present the theories involved in this presentation is amazing - I still see our understanding of the universe as a snapshot of an incredibly small amount of time in comparison to the amount of observations needed by science to come to a competent conclusion.

Nice! Just yesterday I finishes book 2 of Cixin Liu's Three Body Problem trilogy.

Three Body Problem was dumb.

I recall Isaac sating in past videos that there is no such thing as stealth in space because of infrared waste heat. But even if there was no way to avoid radiating in the infrared, would it be possible to control the direction of that radiation? In other words, if a ship only radiated infrared photons behind it, a ship (or planet) in front of it would not see the photons. If that were done on a larger scale, with a Dyson swarm you could possibly prevent infrared energy from being detected in a certain direction. In other words, if there was a planet (or a galaxy) in a certain direction you didn't want to know want knowing your star existed, you might be able to hide it. Of course given interstellar distances, you would need to know you wanted to hide long before such a planet was able to detect your star.

Finished all my audible books looks like it's just me and you today.

The sudden hush of woodland critters is frightening because you are now NOT alone.

I genuinely think the dyson dilemma is mostly just an artifact of dyson swarms not being permanent structures. I think dyson swarms are likely uniquely vulnerable to systems collapse, and being vulnerable to this on any timescale shorter than billions of years is essentially likely to already be gone.

That was an interesting show, though I still doubt the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. I will always doubt the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. I do like reading the scifi on this topic, but I doubt the reality of it. I liked this video. It was a good video. Keep up the good work.

My alien friend told me the voids they make are for meet ups to race at light speed 😂👽

I still think we are picturing Dyson swarms in the context of our human body needs or today's computer requirements. Maybe higher technology works so efficiently that it runs without collecting power but instead run like a cosmic watermill.

Even the most advanced technology is still confined by the laws of thermodynamics. Those limits with regards to energy usage necessitate the use of things like dyson swarms if you want to get worthwhile mileage out of your higher technology. Machines can't run on wishes and smugness, sadly.

@@someguy3766 Our brain is super efficient compared to computers and we are nowhere near the physical limit of how efficient computations can be done. Some scientists studying the resonant structures of crystals theorize a single grain of sal if designed properly could do as much computation as all human brains combined... This is a room temperature salt crystal that simply vibrates due to ambient heat not wishes unless those wishes contribute to ambient heat.

@@Ramiromasters Ok, but if we're going to say that this sort of technology requires very little power and so Dyson Swarms aren't needed, we have to assume that other technologies aren't also being used which need more power, which may not be the case. And even if we were just using technology for computation and nothing else - why would you limit yourself to a small amount of power to run a smaller number of computations, when you can use a large amount of power to do even more computations? No matter how efficient your technology is I don't see a good reason why you wouldn't use more power to do more stuff if you have the means to do so.

@@someguy3766 There is probably a limit to practical and meaningful combinations one can do with nature's elements; meaning a limit to science and technology, thus eliminating the need for more resources in that sense. Populations tend to grow exponentially so any advanced civilization surely had to voluntarily slow or halt that process while they were still struggling with resources, later realized there would never be a reason for accelerated population growth. If you were a cloud of nano machines rather than a cloud of atoms suspended by electromagnetic forces, then probably you could live in a world that makes no sense to us, you could live in space clouds, for all we know the Pillars of Creation could be a metropolis, or what to us seem like gas giants are giant population of transended aliens that didn't had a good reason to fancy their place to another shape.

@@Ramiromasters I dunno man, that sounds pretty out there to me. Nothing about these cosmological constructs you're describing suggests they are actually sentient machine life. They behave exactly as natural phenomena should and are exactly what we expect to see out there based on our currently models, which are based on sound math and verified by observation. There is I am sure an ultimate limit, but if a species had reached that limit, we would probably be living in a universe with a K4 civilisation that had completely dismantled our solar system for energy to store in black holes a long time ago.

There was a time when pub talks revolved around politics and (literal) manure matter. Nowadays SFIA is another major topic.

Could a possible solution to the Dyson Dilemma be just that space is huge? I'm kinda on the side of the fence that thinks FTL isn't in the cards. While a Civilization could be working towards it's first Dyson Swarm maybe they aren't trying to colonize near-by stars simply because of the time it takes to get there along with the fact that may not need that much energy just yet? A common theme I see is that if we find 1 we will find many. I don't necessarily think that holds up though. Like wearing Face Masks during a pandemic. It could help you live longer but just because i'm doing it doesn't mean my neighbor is.

It only takes thousands to tens of thousands of years to go between star systems, and much less than that to assemble and populate a Dyson Swarm. We're looking at billions of years of history all across visible space (admittedly, much smaller slices in any given location) when it only takes a million years for a slower-than-light civilization to colonize a galaxy. You seem to be left with: interstellar travel isn't possible for some reason we have yet to discover (and space-faring life is kinda rare), or nobody builds Dyson swarms, which is weird because they'd be handy. So, yes, space is huge... but time matters more, if I understand correctly.

Defeating entropy may indeed be possible. Look at the case of Maxwell's Demon

Hello Arthur, Thanks for the interesting insights you are giving us every week. I got 3 question: 1. Is it possible to use very small, vaporising artificial black holes to heat up the nucleus of a planet? (To keep the plate tonic running. To keep the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere stable. To keep this planet life-friendly in the long term.) 2. Can the bioshare survive the red giant phase of the sun if its orbit is extended close to Jupiter's orbit, or would Jupiter also have to be moved further out? 3: Can the fusion of the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy in about 4.5 billion years be controlled in such a way that a a life-friendly spiral galaxy is created instead of chaotic elliptical galaxy?

Q1: if the hole is tuned to release the majority of its mass energy as it passes the core then probably. but this is pretty similar to the "drop nukes to restart the core" approach. pretty sure isaac mentioned this in a terraforming ep once though cant remember which one. either way super wasteful of energy. especially when rotating space habs are a thing. but if planets are really your thing there's no real need for plate tectonics or other geologic processes. you can just maintain co2 concentrations with terraforming tech.

Q3: probably really energy intensive, but hey there's nothing stopping you from starlifting the more problematic blue supergiants to avoid all that nova business & shkadov thrustering the rest to avoid collisions and maintain safe spacing. i expect it would be pretty difficult to convince everyone to waste vast amounts of their energy reserves for the convenience of not-yet-existing terrestrial life when the majority of life would likely have migrated to rotating space habs, zero-gee biosperes, or virtual environments running on hardened server stations but it is technically doable.

Hypothesis: we are the only ones without Dyson sphere.

Since moving stars seems fairly easy (compared to nanomachines and ftl) do you think we could form "highways" of economically placed stars?
