  1. 「 JWST quickly exposed the two candidates as Dyson sphere impostors – and the explanation was brilliantly simple. The light from both stars was being boosted by a distant galaxy almost perfectly lined up behind them 」

  2. 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!

  4. nice view on a red giant with a dyson sphere skeleton in the background in Dyson Sphere Program.

  5. 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.

  6. Nützen hochentwickelte Außerirdische die Energie ihrer Heimatsterne mit riesigen Konstruktionen im All? Grundsätzlich wären sie kein Ding der Unmöglichkeit, sagt ein Experte. #sfcd #DysonSphere #science #aliens

    Die vermuteten Megastrukturen ...

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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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 🥴

  11. Are dusty quasars masquerading as Dyson sphere candidates?

    physicsworld.com/a/are-dusty-q

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

  12. 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."

  13. A team led by the University of Manchester examined a Dyson Sphere candidate. Their results confirmed that at least some of these radio sources are contaminated by a background Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). #dysonsphere #space #seti #hamradio 🧪🔭📡🛰️

  14. @catsalad na it's not gonna bet that bad X-D mankind HAS an #energy problem but it's solvable

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

    2. Chinese #fusion reactor running for 1000sec!

    the REAL problem is (still) not enough investments into this direction, yes #SHELL I AM LOOKING AT YOU

  16. 🤔 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.”

  17. "Dyson spheres" were theorized as a way to detect alien life. Scientists say they’ve found potential evidence.

    CNN reports on a new effort by researchers to find something that originated in science fiction: flip.it/R5FU4S

  18. Astronomers Just Looked at Those Dyson Sphere Stars in Radio Light. Here's What They Found - YouTube

  19. 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
