A Dyson swarm is such a versatile megastructure. It's actually 3 megastructures in one. It can be a regular Dyson swarm (generates energy), it can be a star lifter. Star lifters reflect some energy back into the star to lift massive amounts of hydrogen and helium off the star to be processed into heavier elements through nuclear fusion. It's literally mining a star for near infinite resources and it prolong's the star's lifespan too. And lastly it can be a star laser. And there wouldn't be a whole lot of modification necessary to swap "modes".

you should really react to more of their videos, they are a great science comunication channel, and also it is gorgeous

A dyson swarm is basically a better idea than a whole dyson sphere.

A grid of satalites surrounding the star so that if anything hits them, it doesn't desroy the wholw thing.

Isaac Arthur just released a similar video about space warfare and orbital defense platforms. He goees in depth and provides a juicier commentary on the subject, if you get the chance to watch.

Sound of stellaris music in background made me check if i did not launch game by accident -.-

[jeremygair]

For the missiles, the further away the point of origin, the more warning you get.

One of my favorite videos from kurzgesagt!

If humanity made a Dyson swarm it would trigger instantaneous full scale war for its control.

Nice Stellaris Music ( Faster Then Light i think) in the background 👍

Internet historian did a new episode on wine

[genericscottishchannel]

The hell was that at the halfway point

[jeremygair]

FTL Changes it all. Also, if they have high efficiency matter energy transmutation. Logistics become essentially infinite.

Something that advanced will utterly smear us among the stars.

[sleepycCh]

You must be out of the loop but Ash became the pokemon world champion and totally earned it so uhm, yeah he’s not all that bad anymore

Okay ganz ehrlich Menschen auslöschen gar kein Problem ist okay aber lass doch endlich mal den Planeten in Ruhe hallo das ist Schatz laufen Leben wachsen und existieren einer der interessantesten wertvollsten Schätze in Universum
