You’ve heard of the greenhouse effect right? And how it’s named after greenhouses? You know what a greenhouse is? A glass building.
Those domes would be like ovens inside.
{taps forehead} Not if we blacken out the sun
Say it with me now!
Block! Out! The Sun!
Block! Out! The Sun!
Block! Out! The Sun!
You jest, but this is the idea behind Dyson Spheres.
A Dyson sphere is a sphere surrounding a star to capture all the solar energy of that star. People live on the inside of the sphere.
Conceptually I mean some structure large enough to do something with respect to a star. Yes, it is different literally, but not in the sense I was trying to refer.
That's like saying helicopter and a scooter is the same thing lol
