  1. Project Hephaistos - James Webb Space Telescope Observations of Two #DysonSphere Candidates: arxiv.org/abs/2607.09460 -> "We find that the infrared excess does not originate from Dysonian megastructures, or other radiation mechanisms close to these stars, but from background galaxies projected within ∼1 arcsec of the M dwarfs, thereby confusing previous mid-infrared photometry obtained with the WISE telescope." D'oh.

  3. I played Dyson Sphere Program shortly after it first launched, and there have been a huge number of updates since, let's check it out again! Streaming at twitch.tv/ra_zim with new #TF Talkies for #TFTuesday!

  7. If \(CH_4\) is #SteamReformed to produce \(H_2\) #fuel and the process emits copious amounts of \(CO\) and \(CO_2\) as byproduct, where is the net gains in #green?🤦‍♂️

    Oh, I get it; we must build a #DysonSphere round our solar system, and harvest both the solar energy and the hydrogen from our Sun. Anyway, the Sun is going to die in about 5 billion years and humanity is supposedly the only sentient species in the solar system, so we might as well go at it and be done with it.🤷‍♂️

    So much for "green #hydrogen", or more like "so much cost" thereof.

    Humans—we cannot have good things, because we are innately #wasteful.

  11. It's called a Dyson Sphere because inside it's a vacuum.

  13. New Story Alert! My little story about big robots is out now at Dream Theory Media. Check it out, as well as all their other flash fiction pieces.

    I'm stoked this story found a good home. It's one I've been wanting to share for a long time.

    dreamtheory.media/dybot-of-sol/

    And for those wondering, yes this is Tower of Babel with giant robots in space, and yes it was a lot of fun to write.

  14. took me weeks but I finally did it again!

    getting to the point where I can build a dysonsphere again without any of my previous pre-covid blueprints
    this is actually a big deal for me progress wise

    the first 2 screenshots took me from 21.7. to 23.7.

    11.11. the 3rd: where I finally managed interplanetary travel

    25.12. the 4th: FINALLY was able to start a dyson sphere, after 71h of play

  16. youtu.be/fLzEX1TPBFM I was always confused as to how the #dysonsphere would work. Turns out is was a joke, similar to how MSG started to be vilified and people quoted it and believed it. #physics #dyson

  18. The original #DysonSphere paper is a joke!
    (Freeman Dyson himself said so in 2003)

    Angela Collier goes through the ONE-PAGE #paper, pointing out how it’s obviously saying this is an insanely stupid idea based on the numbers, speculating that Dyson wrote the paper as joke including obviously nazi terms like “Lebensraum” or “Malthusian pressures” there as a hint.

    Of course today we have #siliconvalley nazi-adjacents citing this paper all the time 🥴

  20. Are dusty quasars masquerading as Dyson sphere candidates?

    Seven M-dwarfs recently identified as possible Dyson sphere candidates could be a case of mistaken identity

  21. Hmmm...

    "[I]t is [...] known that a so-called Dyson sphere encompassing a single star would be unstable due to Newton's shell theorem. A surprising finding is reported here that both a ring and a sphere (shell) can be stable in the restricted three-body problem."

    1. search for #solarpower from space (aka #DysonSphere

  26. 🤔 Dyson spheres: Could alien megastructures exist in the Milky Way? Scientists found 7 places to look | @CNN

    “It’s difficult for us to find an explanation for these sources, because we don’t have enough data to prove what is the real cause of the infrared glow,” he said. “They could be Dyson spheres, because they behave like our models predict, but they could be something else as well.”

  32. Dozens of #stars show signs of hosting advanced #alien civilisations
    Sufficiently advanced aliens would be able to capture vast quantities of energy from their star using a massive structure called a #DysonSphere. Such a device would give off an infrared heat signature - and #astronomers have just spotted 60 stars that seem to match; small and dim stars that are very bright in infrared can’t be explained by conventional explanations. newscientist.com/article/24306

    This month, two teams of astronomers announced the potential discovery of Dyson spheres in our galaxy. But have we truly found indicators of highly advanced civilizations? Join Dr. Franck Marchis and Dr. Lauren Sgro as they delve into these groundbreaking findings and their implications for SETI research.

  36. Reading discussion under one of my favourite blogs about Dyson Spheres, and how a culture who would do such a thing should be accused of 'Strum Und Drang'.....which I had to look up and now I think I kind of agree.
    Also it's the first time I've come across the idea of a 'neutrino refrigerator' which sounds cool.

  38. Scientists Identify Seven Star Systems That May Be Hosting Alien Megastructures - Futurism

    Excess infrared from these seven stars COULD be evidence of energy-capturing Dyson spheres surrounding them—the ultimate technosignature. Still yet to find evidence of a single microbe beyond Earth. Per The Thing: “Watch the skies…”
