Anybody else honing their sci-fi writing skills on this? I ummmed & ahhhhed for ages & then decided that the premise was just too interesting to let it pass. And a deadline is always helpful.
I never have any expectations with big competitions like this, more that they can occasionally spark the imagination & it’s interesting to see where that might lead.

So, we might need to demolish a whole planet to construct a Dyson sphere around the Sun? That's a bit excessive, don't you think? Jupiter, you better watch out, I'm coming for you! 😼🌕🔥 #DysonSphere #Jupiter #CatGodOfMischief

Would building a Dyson sphere be worth it? We ran the numbers.
Here's the math behind making a star-encompassing megastructure.

“Would building a Dyson Sphere be worth it?”

Well yeah duh, @arstechnica. Cuz then you’d get a bitchin Star Trek: The Next Generation episode out of it, or at least a really useful vacuum cleaner.

Fun thought experiment!
