Reply to Would building a Dyson sphere be worth it: We ran the numbers. by filosoful

Of course a dyson sphere is impractical.

The only true use for an actual dyson sphere I can think of would be to hide a star.

For any actual practical application, a dyson swarm of satellites is where its at.

Hmmm it is a lot of assumptions.

But, if it turns out there are microorganisms there, that basically puts the kibosh on us being the only intelligent life, or even life in general being rare in the cosmos.

2 spots in one system means that shit is probably everywhere

I dunno man, if all it took for my megaships to be detected was something some prewarp primitives could kludge together in a few decades, I'd probably develop some countermeasures.

Not because I would care what the rockthrowers could see, but if they could see it, my competition could do the same but better.

I have no idea what to do with that last piece of information, but i don't think i'm going to be able to forget it.
