@@prospect2664 In the hopes to help you, there may be something going on regarding a 1800 Euro not being able to handle the game. First off: What year did you buy it in? Did you build it yourself or was it purchased pre-built? What resolution are you trying to play in? A self-built 700-900 USD PC should be able to handle Ultra 1080p at 100 FPS in the nomad starting prologue with little difficulty. If you have a 2070 (last generation), you should be able to also use max ray tracing with roughly the same FPS (assuming you have at least a 10th gen processor if intel is used -- A side note is that AMD is now considered the top dog in this field). If you're using a 4k Monitor, then a mid-range 1800 build might have difficulties maintaining 60fps or even 30 FPS even with a 3070. 4k is very labor intensive and there may be natural bottlenecks in both self-built and especially pre-built computers. Most of the time, pre-builts are only as powerful as a self-built that cost 1/3rd the price (meaning that self-builts or custom builders are almost always the way to go if you want a beefy computer). 10xx Series and now 30xx series GPUs are hard to get during their relevance due to a combination of scalpers and miners, so sometimes custom made may even be cheaper than self bought. Though you should avoid pre-built brand names most of the time. They over charge and under deliver in most situations. If a 4k monitor is used, then switch to 1080p or 1440p and enjoy the FPS in the 60-100s range.

Speed of scale... So what caused entropy to expand.? You can't have an atom unless there's entropy. Quantum particles.? Formed to make the first Adams.? Nothing gathers unless there's pressure. High and low. That points to entropy just being there. Where it came from is a big question mark. Meaning: when did thermal dynamics first appear in physics. What caused it. A repeat of the same question.? Either way light/ entropy, moves at a constant but, scale is infinite in rate and size. At the same moment. Putting the two walking hand in hand. Meaning: they are one and the same. This point to never knowing when it started, or how big things are. We're somewhere along the line, looking at what's in front of us scratching our heads. This is part of the conundrum in physics. We can apply it but, that's about it. Maybe that's all that matters.

Technically, nuclear and at least part of geothermal energy can be argued to be a form of solar energy that's a lot older, from a previous star in fact, as it did take something like a supernova to create all elements bigger than iron, including most everything radioactive.

@nicerperson1

Ask Biden to build it, he is good at cages.

I think our brain is unable to fully process the size of such an object. The sheer amount of material needed to build a complete Sphere would require us to literally dismantle entire Solar Systems, and that thing would end up being so massive it would have it's own gravity. I think the more appropriate and feasible way would be to build a "simple" ring around the Sun with a more reasonable orbit, not a 1AU monster, and then transfer the power to earth with beams, lasers and all that scy-fy stuff. But even with the right idea, you then have to actually build it, which would obviously require huge space factories, ships with enough payload capacity to move all that mass around the galaxy and put the parts in place. At the present day we can barely put a person on our own satellite. If our civilization will ever get there (which considering our nature I seriously doubt), we are at the bare absolute minimum 5.000 to 10.000 years too early to even start thinking about sketching a concept on a napkin. And probably the same amount to design and build it. The more I think about it the more I believe it's overrated. Think when you use a cheat code in a videogame to obtain some huge game-changing equipment you aren't supposed to get until much much later in the game. Of course it's appealing, it's infinitely more powerful than everyhing we have, and if you could snap it in place just like that with a cheat code it would be a massive boost to....everything. But if you choose to follow the rules, grind your way to that point in the game and then spend time/energy/resources to build it on your own, it almost loses its point because the boost isn't that massive anymore. Evolution is the literal definition of a step by step progress, to being able to build a Dyson Sphere, you'd need to be at the step immediately before that, no shortcuts allowed, and maybe at that point we'd realize it's not really that efficient of a concept, or that there are much easier, affordable and less spectacular ones. Reality has the really bad habit of being very anti-climactic compared to our imagination 😅

I think the most energy-saving way to build a dyson sphere would be to base its design on a Roman Arc. Have each frame segment fit upon one another in such a way that they sit down on each other, press against each other, and thus support each other. After all, they all want to fall down onto the Sun, weighed down by the Sun's Gravity. So why not make them all lean down on each other?

As people, we love to grab onto these fantastic ideas, Dyson spheres are good fun to daydream about. In practice, it is about as practical as building the Titanic with toothpicks: 1. If you cover up the sun, all your geraniums will die. Your other flora-n-fauna will quickly follow. 2. The solar system doesn't contain enough of the necessary material to make one. 3. It would take too long. By the time we gained the technology, equipment and man hours, Dyson spheres would be a mute point. 4. Take a look at the surface of our moon. Constant bombardment doesn't fare well for tech projects you want to keep neat.

We can build a *partial* Dyson Sphere right now. We build what's called a Dyson Swarm. Lots of small satellites that capture solar energy. We can use that energy to then build more satellites, capturing even more energy. A full (solid) Dyson Sphere is not only completely impractical, it's impossible with any known or even speculative material. A Dyson Swarm is not only practical, but we have the technology to begin one right now.

A ring swarm would orbit the sun in a flat plane like the rings of Neptune. But once you start going out of plane, you have bodies that need to cross the plane twice each orbit. In a structural sphere that isn't an issue because everything is held in place, but in a non-structural swarm you're going to need to plan everything perfectly to prevent collisions as they cross the equator.

I feel like the best idea for the design of a dyson sphere would be a thin sheet of power generating material that lets most (say e.g. 99%) of the sun's light straight through it, converting only a small amount to electricity. This prevents completely changing the environment of the planets around the star while still generating absurd amounts of energy. And in case anyone happens to read this and says "but such a thin layer would be impossible to build without breaking"... I could say the same for any dyson sphere with exactly the same amount of theoretical basis backing said statement - i.e. none at all.

star trek fans are all here!

1) You don't make a solid shell (or a cloud of satellites/stations). You make a series of interwoven orbital rings (pretty densely packed together, too). These are nominally stationary tubes in line with a given orbit around an object, with a fluid accelerated through them at a velocity which perfectly balances the stationary tube's attempts to collapse toward the object. That equilibrium of forces means you don't need any kind of super-material at all. Though, the weaker the material, the more razor-thin the margin is for something to go wrong. That's where multiple rings come in. By having several rings share a load equally, you can increase that margin so that any one or a few failures, is never catastrophic. With these, you can lay a somewhat flexible shell across the interior, and the exterior, and do whatever it is you're going to do with it. . 2) Even at 1AU, you can't live on the inside of the sphere. While that energy is evenly distributed across the entire surface, all of it is still being captured by the sphere, making its interior at that distance considerably warmer than Earth. Part of Earth's current temperate climate is the fact that our poles in particular never receive the Sun's power full-blast, and serve as regulators to keep the equator from roasting like a Christmas goose. If you want to live on the inside safely, you have to go out to about Mars' orbit, and it might still be too warm. Also, there'd be no gravity holding you to the interior of the shell, no matter how large or small you make it, and you'd fall into the Sun...which would suck. . 3) An alternative is to build the shell closer to the sun, at a distance where the Sun's pull is about 1g (roughly 3 to 4 million km), and then live on the EXTERIOR of the sphere. A judicious distribution of plasma vents around the surface could provide plenty of light, and combined with the Sun heating the sphere itself, it would be quite comfy and cozy. And it would require a fraction of the materials to make a considerably more robust sphere. It would also be considerably more practical to get around...not that it would be easy anyway. . 4) If we're going to tackle a project of that scale anyway, we might as well go all out and start harvesting the Kuiper Belt as well That would almost double our available resources for the project. . 5) If we really want to bank the energy, we'll need more than just photovoltaic or related light-converting methods of power generation. We'll need those plasma vents mentioned before to generate current by passing them through magnets. We could also use the structure itself to harvest more elemental materials directly from the Sun in a process known as star-lifting. . 6) Earth and the other planets are doomed anyway. The Sun will destroy everything as it slowly dies. Preserving them is childishly stupid. That said, it may be possible that using a sphere might give us the time and opportunity to regulate and preserve the Sun itself, well past its normal stellar lifetime. . The biggest issue is building the infrastructure for the project. That alone would almost be as big a deal as the sphere itself. But it's doable. And frankly, I think we should start now.

I am building a platform shooter game that can also switch to an FPS game in a universe that has a Dyson Swarm. That's where the game takes place. I may post dev logs in my Doom/Halo channel when it's in a showable state.

You can solve a lot of the problems by using a Dyson cloud; instead of a single solid structure, build as many space habitats as required , they would be independent but (eventually) form a huge swarm orbitting the sun. That does away with the improbable material required to build an actual spehere, and it would be resistant to meteors as whilst one or more habitats could be destroyed it wold not threaten the whole system. You could also build it incrementally, kind oflike cities formed here on earth. Instead of using the planets for materials, you could mine the sun for them. The sun holds over 99.8% of the solar system's mass (and most of the rest is Jupiter). You could use an insiginficant fraction of the sun's mass, extracting it magnetically. Of course you'd have to change it from hydrogen to something more useful, but by that time, we'd likely have the technology and energy resources to transmute elements of an industrial scale. You could kick things off by simply coverting Mercury into solar energy collection panels. These could orbit the sun much closer than the habitats and essentially give you unlimitted energy. And that itself could be kick started by building a few of them, and using the energy to build more; self replicating robot factories on Mercury, more panels=more energy=more panels, an exponential process. It is surprising how fast you could convert an entrie planet that way. And Mercury is convneiently positioned already, and is extremely rich in metals.

If this Dyson sphere works the way it's described I would imagine it would be much like a black hole. With the ability to absorb all energy I can imagine that it would very closely resemble black holes.

@marveloussoftware4914

Maybe that what a black hole is. Disclaimer: i don't believe so. But perhaps intelligent aliens found the best way to collect energy is to build dyson spheres around the strongest stars in the center of galaxies. And they are trying to keep us out just like we try to keep ants out of our house.

Got a Dyson ad in the middle and I didn’t expect it

We will never need the Dyson Sphere because nobody will ever need more than 360KB RAM - one Bill.

Seems like we wouldn't need a full sphere just partial collectors will help immensely.
