Now we're talking. Off down a little rabbit hole I go...

Aren't they all just called Bob?

Ok, so I just need FTL travel, many galaxies worth of materials, some way to heat the place and billions of workers and we can make a hellish galaxy sized Ikea flat pack colony. Excellent.

Thank you for humouring me. So a giant cube of hellish proportions with many billions of interlocking rooms is out of the question.

Would it have to be a ring though? I was thinking something like a galaxy sized 'metropolis' or like a solar system sized ship. Is that theoritically possible?

Ah, I get you now but I'll out-old you. It's from GTA: Vice City. Gang version of the bog standard Hermes found mainly around the middle of the second main island.

I know what limbo means, no idea what you mean by it though.

Nice picture. I've been through Bala many times. Bit of a nowhere place but it's got some pretty surroundings. Beware the speed van on the way to Traws.

>Galaxies are not dense on average, because of the space between stars.
I get that, hence the question as to whether it is theoretically possible to build a structure the size of a galaxy with the space filled in by 'structure' without it collapsing in on itself. It's a hypothetical question so sourcing materials isn't the object of the question; the point is whether, despite the fact it would take several billion years to build at current space traversal times, it would be possible with our current understanding of our universe.
