Kind of like trying to find a college photo of Barry kissing a woman.
In a hunnert years Ingrish will be superceded by ... hell .. if I can't get it NOW, how in hell can I name it THEN ?
I thought there was a killer on the loose in the North Western timber somewhere
Wouldn’t it be more of a “dyson cluster” of satelites surrounding a star to capture “most” of it’s output?
Dyson? Hmm. I knew space was a vacuum, but I didn’t know which brand.
My fav episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation is the Dyson sphere episode, but only because Scotty is in it.
They’re lookin’ for the Moties!
Wasn’t this an episode of ST-TNG?
Einstein said God doesn’t play Dyson the universe.
Wasn’t the Dyson Sphere originally envisioned as a means of hiding from malevolent aliens?
Getting back to your comment, here's an excerpt from yesterday's Centauri Dreams...
Moving power generation into space is certainly something that would motivate a civilization a good deal more advanced than our own, and using abundant asteroid material, it could spread power generation entirely around the star. Stephen Battersby, who wrote Alien Megaprojects: The Hunt Has Begun, doubts they would create a single shell because it would be gravitationally unstable. But a Dyson ‘swarm’ is more plausible, with hordes of large power stations moving on independent orbits around the star. Dyson, who likes to talk about what is observable rather than what’s probable, thinks we could spot such a project through its waste heat in the infrared.So, spot on, young lady!
Awwww, I missed that one!
They found a hidden message from the aliens....”SEND MORE CHUCK BERRY!”
You’re on a roll.
.
Freeman Dyson’s spheres? Don’t believe so. Never read anything by the man, so I’m not positive about that.
Lol... I finally got it! :-)
“Dyson? Hmm. I knew space was a vacuum, but I didn’t know which brand.”
Now THAT was good!
