In the Kardashev Scale, a Type II Civilization would build a Dyson Sphere around their star. A team of astronomers are searching for them.

    But it’s unstable.

      So is a Dyson sphere?

        Spheres aren’t unstable around a star. Rings are unstable in orbit around a star.

      If a civilization can figure out how to make one, they can keep it from sliding into the sun!

        Just glue 3 of them together, that’ll make them 300% stable!

        Like how if they figure out how to build an 833’ long ship they can keep it from immediately hitting an iceberg and sinking?

          You know, that’s a really good point, but this is on such a bigger scale and if it’s a known problem today, I think they would know about it by the time they can build something like that.

          Damn, imagine the number of lifeboats you’d need to evacuate a Dyson Sphere?
