How to Build a Dyson Sphere - The Ultimate Megastructure

"did you do it?"
"Yes"
"What did it cost?"
"Mercury"

[hazri]

I think Kurzgesagt are a group of time travelers from the future and they've been telling us how to survive.

[Bellumbeck]

"Where is Mercury?"
"Gone. Reduced to mirrors."

[ThinkAmMe]

Great tutorial! Been having trouble building these recently. I think ive got the hang of it now

[tengojuevos]

Sounds easy

I'll help out this weekend

"Hey Grandma. What happened to the 8th planet?"

"We strip mined it out of existence"

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

We were born just in time to speculate whether or not humanity can achieve this level of technology

[oxydra]

Hi guys! I am from the year 5024 and this tutorial helped me build the dyson sphere. It works

[StrangeLittleGarden]

"If we don't destroy ourselves.."
gotta love the honesty

[insanityking]

“Grandpa! We learned about all 7 planets today!”
*Me on the verge of tears* “Good for you grandson.”

Now I have a huge desire to play a space themed strategy/resource management game.
EDIT: 3 Years later and this comment is still getting replies haha. I've played DSP and it's great.

7:26 "our attention is too often focused on short-term political gains and conflicts that will not matter in the long run"
THIS phrase is why I think humanity should be leaded by scientist and intellectuals, people that is actually interested in progress and see the big picture

[poopoo]

You ever realize how amazing a kurzgesagt style survival game would be

How to build a Dyson swarm.

First, you're gonna need a planet you don't want...

[zaronwriter]

theoretical physicists: its not just possible, its easy


engineers: am i a joke to you

[ThatOneGuy-lvkw]

Mercury: "I'm scared of nothing."
"But that thing..."
*Dyson Sphere*
*_"It scares me."_*

[FrizzleLamb]

**teleports behind Mercury**
Earth: Nothing personal, kid.

[doubleoof]

imagine if humans in the future try to build a dyson sphere, the sunspots on the Sun combine to form the words:

“You need the *Utopia DLC* in order to perform this action.”

The animation on this video was absolutely amazing.
