Dyson Sphere: The megastructure of the Future
Through human history events have happened that boosted our energy output as a species. We electrified the world with the industrial revolution and the discovery of nuclear power. Alan Turing invented the Computer and we entered the information age. Most likely, in the future, we’ll gain complete control of the earth. After that, the next step will be colonizing the universe. But that will need an unbelievable amount of energy. Accordingly to the amount of energy we produce, we are not even a type I civilization on the Kardashev scale. That means we, as a species, are not advanced enough to colonize the universe yet. A Dyson Sphere is a megastructure that surrounds a star, and captures as much of its energy as possible, turning it into useful energy. As of today it is a theoretical concept and we are far from materializing it. But if we manage to build one we will most likely become interstellar. It will take the mindset of mankind to make the impossible possible, and we’ll embark on a Type II civilization that will thrive forever. What is a Dyson Sphere? Who was Freeman Dyson? What is the Kardashev scale? Is it possible to build a Dyson Sphere? How do we build it? The answers to all of these questions will be contained in this project. I’m Jose M Valdes Rodriguez, and this is Dyson Spheres: The Megastructure of the Future. For more details on the project watch my project video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1IBPX60JVU
