I can't wait for the day that Anton says it is aliens.

There's an old Romulan saying: "The grass is always bluer on the other side of the galaxy."

[Afterlife-Boy]

Aliens are like "Its never Anton"

[mikereid]

Larry Niven describes this...twice, actually. With Gregory Benford in "Bowl of Heaven" & "Shipstar", and solo in "Ringworld's Children"

[victorkrawchuk]

Sometimes, becoming a Kardashev Type 2 civilization seems like too much work.

What an imaginative and thought-provoking hypothesis! And _stellivore_ is such a cool word, too. For anyone interested in stellar engines, Kurzgesagt have a video on stellar engines, focussing specifically on the Shkadov and Caplan thrusters; it's giddily enjoyable viewing. 😀

Whenever a video’s title asks a question, the answer is no.

I feel like if you have the energy, materials, and ability needed to pull off moving multiple stars, you would have had to have found a more convenient method of interstellar travel. The only reasons I can think to move your entire house (star system) instead of just moving to a different home would be
A. You're in an isolated part of the galaxy
B. You're trying to save your system from sort of catastrophic event, like a nearby supernova

Still seems like it'd be more effort than it's worth

A stellar devourer using and consuming the star in search of another star to consume

Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. 🫠🫡

[MagicNash]

Cowboing a binary star system and riding it across the Universe? Sounds badass

[SoManyRandomRamblings]

The biggest arguments i always hear against dyson swarms or things like this is....why? They always say "if they had this level of ability why would they do THIS, wouldn't they have other better ways" .... A possible reason for this is that the gravity of the star is going to (as long as the change in momentum or direction is done gradually) it's going to keep everything around it with it. Sure interstellar travel may be easy for them, but a few things about that; ships only move a small portion of your people, if they don't have stasis then not only do those ships need fuel but the storage capabilities to bring enough resources for everyone and then what about emergency situations...this way you are able to move everyone all at once, all your resources are being brought with you.

Larry Niven and Gregory Benford wrote "A Bowl of Heaven" and its second half "Shipstar" with this theme. They consider two types of extreme megastructures and some of their implications. One such is wrangling black holes for use in interstellar communications.

Does anyone else ever wave back at Anton? Hello wonderful person! (cheesy grin) WAVE! (waves back) Or is that just me?

[LibertyEver]

7:50 - It's a tribute to human intellect that we have a comparison chart for stellar propulsion systems.

[aaronbono]

Oh Anton throwing cover for the aliens again? Fox Mulder would be so disappointed.

[windgods]

"Why did you visit our solar system?" "We want to eat your star for fuel" "OK, that really sucks, literally"

[chabis]

Exploring the "It's Aliens"-explanation (IA) is always worth it. Like AI, IA gives you much more attention. And who wouldn't want to be the first one to actually find some aliens?

[pigeongris]

I have ASD, I am already an alien on this planet. Unfortunately I don't use neutron star as engines yet...

[andreisopon]

I'm so sorry, guys. No, it was me. Tripped on a cable last night as I came into the house and dragged the pulsars across the living room.
